CCTV is not only about recording video
A good CCTV system should help discourage unwanted activity, improve visibility around important areas and provide useful footage when something happens. Simply installing cameras is not enough. The position, viewing angle, lighting and recording settings all affect how useful the system will be.
Camera placement matters
Entrances, exits, cash counters, gates, parking areas and other important access points usually need the most attention. Cameras should be positioned so that people and important activity can be seen clearly without large blind spots.
Lighting can change camera performance
A camera that looks good in daytime may perform differently at night. Outdoor lighting, backlighting and dark corners should be considered during installation. Infrared or low-light cameras can help in areas where lighting is limited.
Recording and storage are equally important
The DVR or NVR should have enough storage for the required number of recording days. Storage depends on the number of cameras, recording quality, frame rate and whether the system records continuously or only when motion is detected.
Regular checks keep the system useful
Camera lenses can become dusty, cables can loosen and hard drives can develop faults. It is useful to check recording playback, date and time settings, camera views and storage health periodically.
