There’s a lot to think about when considering CCTV installation in your property/business premises. Below are a few things to consider when thinking about the big move.
DO consider whether you really need CCTV. Some buildings don’t need it at all, with a dummy camera and dummy sign sufficing. Think about the objectives of making such a move and weigh up the costs and benefits to your business.
DON’T position your camera incorrectly. Think about what you want to record. Do you need face-frontal views, or would the back of the head be okay for your objectives? DON’T forget, if your camera installation is for identification purposes, they should be placed at eye level.
DO purchase the correct recorder. Think about whether you need the recordings of live imagery, because if so you will need to purchase a higher spec DVR capable of good image quality.
DON’T install yourself, it’s not as easy as you think! Get a professional to install the system. It may cost more, but you will reap the benefits of a correctly installed device.
