What makes a CCTV camera suitable?
Start with the entrance, parking area, reception and other vulnerable access points. Camera placement and reliable recording matter more than choosing a camera based on a single advertised feature.
Types of security cameras
IP CCTV cameras transmit digital video over a network and can work with compatible network video recorders. Wi-Fi cameras may simplify placement where stable wireless coverage is available. PTZ cameras allow compatible systems to pan, tilt and zoom, while fixed cameras provide a consistent view of a chosen area.
Features to compare
Look at actual image resolution, low-light performance, viewing angle, storage options, remote access, power requirements and weather protection. Check whether features such as two-way audio, motion alerts and human detection are supported by the exact model.
Installation and privacy
Position cameras to cover entry points without unnecessarily recording neighbouring private areas. Protect accounts with strong passwords and keep device firmware updated.
