A CCTV system is most useful when it is planned around the areas a business needs to monitor. Start by identifying entrances, customer areas, stock rooms, vehicle access points and locations where incidents have occurred.
Check the view before choosing cameras
Consider lighting at different times of day, camera angles, distance and potential obstructions. Indoor and outdoor locations may need different equipment. A site walk-through can help identify blind spots and practical mounting positions.
Plan recording and network requirements
Decide whether an NVR or DVR system fits the cameras and existing infrastructure. Storage capacity depends on the number of cameras, recording quality and how long footage needs to be retained. Remote viewing also requires a secure network configuration and controlled user access.
Protect the system and respect privacy
Change default credentials, restrict access to authorized people and keep equipment maintained. Consider privacy expectations, appropriate signage and any rules that apply to the property and its occupants.
