What to Consider Before Installing CCTV Cameras

Keeping your property safe and secure is a necessity. One of the best ways to ensure that you can safeguard your property is by installing CCTV cameras. CCTV systems can discourage break-ins from occurring. Before installing a CCTV system in and around your property, there are several factors you need to consider to maximise its effectiveness as a security solution.

Camera specs

Before choosing a CCTV camera for your home, it is best to first discuss with your provider which option will be the most suitable for you. CCTV cameras come in various lens sizes and capabilities; some have a wide-angle lens for a broader field of vision, whilst some focus more on clearly detecting human features. Here at Donvac, we have a wide range of camera options to choose from to best suit your requirements.

Camera positioning

Of course, when installing a CCTV system, you have to first decide where you’re going to place the cameras. The positioning has an important role in providing adequate coverage and thus, security to your property.

The most important aspect of installing cameras is to cover all possible access to the property, and where possible to cover all external doors. In most instances, one camera can cover some external doors and the entrance to the property. As you can understand each property is different and it is always better to speak to your provider for advice.

Day/Night picture quality

When selecting cameras there are various options to suit your requirements. Common options are high definition cameras or IP (Internet protocol) cameras. You may also select whether you prefer your cameras to provide colour pictures at night with minimum light or black and white pictures in dark surroundings.
