The company that installs CCTV will assign an analyst to help identify the best spot to place cameras to achieve the greatest coverage. The expert can also help you determine the best location for the cameras to be mounted as well as the area the camera should cover.

2. Different kinds of CCTV cameras

The most well-known wireless CCTV cameras today are those that can transmit video. They do not require the need to install wires. These cameras are also easy to operate. But they are not all security camera installation are created equal. The traditional directional camera, often referred to as a bullet-camera is usually fixed and pointing only in one direction. However dome cameras, which are commonly found in malls and offices, have 360-degree coverage around them. Cameras need to be chosen according to the type of coverage you require and the kind of quality they offer.

3. Locations

This is connected to the earlier discussion concerning coverage. It is essential to take into consideration areas that might be at risk. There are a variety of cameras based on the location. Cameras that are placed outside your garage's door will not be the same as an indoor one. This brings us to the next aspect: Indoor coverage should not be neglected. The criminals and burglars are becoming more adept at avoiding outdoor cameras. In fact, even the coverage of the entire camera could be compromised by masked intruders. What they don't expect is the indoor camera. You can save lots of hassle by placing a dome camera indoors with low-light capabilities.

4. Declaration and Legality

It is a legal requirement you inform people that you're recording the information. This is crucial for public spaces like shops or offices. In both instances, signs stating that there are CCTV cameras installed will serve your purpose. You must inform any workers coming to your house about an alarm system installation. It is important to inform your maid or other guests that you would like to monitor their behavior verbally. One thing to remember is that it is absolutely illegal to install CCTV cameras in private areas like bathrooms. For such offenses you can be sent to prison.

5. Permissions

You might require permission from the appropriate authorities based on the area where you plan to install CCTV. It is an act of goodwill, even though it isn't legally mandatory. If you're installing CCTV cameras outside of your house or store, the chances are that they will cover a small portion of a neighbor's property or store. Be sure to inform them and change the angle if you feel uncomfortable. You should inform your local civic organization (e.g. RWA) before installation. Home CCTV installation in apartment blocks usually requires permission too.

6. Technical aspects

There are technical aspects that you need to know about the security systems you have. Make sure that the cameras you have are capable of recording HD video. Then, think about the other equipment you require. Most CCTV installation is accompanied by recording and storage equipment. Certain models also provide the option of cloud storage which is the storage of videos that were recorded online. Local storage can be done via a hard disk, like a laptop or computer. The distinction between the hard disk of a camera system and your laptop is that the camera on your hard drive is of larger capacity and is capable of operating continuously for a greater period. They do need to be replaced occasionally. You must decide the length of time you'll keep reordered video.
