Personalising your CCTV system to your individual needs
When it comes to installing a CCTV security system in your home, there are several factors to consider. These purely are dependent on your unique requirements and needs. For example, the size of your house will affect the number of cameras you will want to install. The sensitivity of the operation will affect the type and positioning of the cameras as well. (for example, infrared cameras, for evenings.) Here at DC Solutions, we will help make this process easy and simple for you!
CCTV components, what do you require?
Setting up a CCTV system can seem a rather daunting task and seem more complicated than it actually is. Believe me, it’s not as hard as you may think! Your Basic CCTV security system is made up of:
- CCTV security cameras
- Cabling and Wiring
- Digital Video Recorder (DVR) / Network Video Recorder (NVR)
- Unique Storage system (hard drive)
- How many cameras do I need?
The number of CCTV cameras you will need is purely dependent on your requirements! For example for a domestic CCTV system, you are unlikely to want a CCTV checking in on you, in every room of your property!
You may feel safe and at ease by simply having your CCTV cameras set up at the main external entries of your property.
Home and Commercial CCTV Systems
For your commercial CCTV system needs, we are here to help you protect your business and assets. The positioning of your CCTV cameras needs to be taken into deeper consideration. For example placing them in a more sensitive area (eg. rooms where you store your stock, personal/classified documents, and valuables). A good starting point to help you decide this is making a list of areas of which are of most importance for you to cover and protect, e.g entries where your business will be most vulnerable to enter. We will help talk you through this process, to help best place your cameras.
Cabling and wiring your CCTV System
To ensure your security system is working constantly, reliably and to your needs, we work with only hard-wired systems. This ensures there is no chance of your signal dropping or any unexpected issues down the line.
Digital Video Recorder (DVR) vs Network Video Recorder (NVR). What is the difference?
This may look like technical jargon to you, but putting it simply these are the systems used to record video footage of your CCTV system.
So what is the difference? To put it simply the main difference is how these 2 systems process video data footage.
A DVR (Digital video recorder) changes analog footage into a digital format, while an NVR (Network Video Recorder) normally will only work with digital recording/footage.
Out of the 2, NVR (Network Video Recorder) is normally more recommended as this will process and encode your video data at the camera before transferring it to a recorder for you to remotely view and store.
Unique Storage system options. Here at DC Solutions, we offer a number of options for your storage and length of recording periods for your CCTV security systems.
All our CCTV security packages come with a basic recording period of 7 days. However we can increase these options to a 14-day recording loop, or if you are away from the property for a longer period we can offer a 30-day recording option for you!
How many cameras do I actually need?
When it comes to answering this question there are a number of factors to take into consideration.
This include:
- What areas am I wanting to cover at the property?
- How many main entries are there to the property?
- What areas are at risk of attempted burglary/vandalism?
You want to ensure once your CCTV system is fitted, you have complete peace of mind that you are fully protected and covered in the unfortunate event of an attempted burglary, vandalism of your property, processions, and vehicles!
Adding that one extra CCTV camera to the side entrance of your driveway, could for example be the difference in stopping an unfortunate event from occurring, remember the location of your CCTV cameras is key!
It makes sense as a minimum and as best of practice, to cover your main entries to your property, after all these are the easiest way to enter your property. For extra peace of mind, you may even want to consider your outbuildings and covering any valuable assets stored outside.
