About CCTV Installation
Power Backup Systems
Blackouts disable your entire security system. Ask if the recorder includes a battery backup. Without it, recording stops immediately. Some systems lose configuration data too. Inquire about Uninterruptible Power Supply units. These keep the recorder running for several hours. This ensures continuous recording during grid failures, which often coincide with attempted break-ins when lights are off.
Mounting Heights and Angles
Mount cameras 2.5 to 3 meters high. This prevents tampering. Aim them slightly downward. Angles too high show only back of heads. Angles too low show too much ground. Ask the installer to point the lens at the target area. Avoid pointing directly at bright lights. Glare ruins the image sensor. Adjust angles during the final walkthrough.
Weatherproofing Standards
Outdoor cameras need IP66 or IP67 ratings for dust and water resistance. Lower ratings fail during heavy rain. Check cable entry points for proper sealing. Moisture ingress causes internal corrosion and eventual failure. Ask if the installer uses waterproof junction boxes. These protect connection points from element exposure, significantly extending the lifespan of your equipment.
Cable Type Matters
Demand CAT6 Ethernet cables for new installs. Older systems use coaxial cables. Coaxial has a 100-meter limit. CAT6 goes up to 100 meters before signal drops. Ask if they will run cables inside walls or outside. Outdoor cables need UV protection. Sunlight degrades unprotected plastic. Check the cable jacket thickness for weather resistance.
Final Inspection Checklist
Inspect every camera before signing off. Check for blur. Check focus. Ensure night vision works. Verify all cables are taped down. Loose cables flap in wind. They vibrate and break connectors. Test motion detection zones. Adjust sensitivity to ignore pets. Cars trigger false alarms. Set exclusion zones for busy streets. This reduces unnecessary alerts.
Lens Vandalism Protection
Standard lenses shatter easily if targeted. Ask about anti-vandal domes or bullet housings. These resist impacts from thrown objects. Placement matters significantly. Mount cameras above head height to prevent direct reach. Review housing material thickness. Polycarbonate lenses offer better impact resistance than glass. This simple detail prevents costly replacements after minor incidents or prank attempts.
Remote Access Setup
Test live viewing from your phone before payment. Ask which app they recommend. Verify if the manufacturer charges monthly fees. Some brands require subscriptions for cloud storage. Local storage is free but at risk during theft. Ensure the app shows clear images. Lag over 2 seconds makes monitoring useless. Check the app interface for ease of use.
Hard Drive Specifications
Standard computer drives fail under continuous recording load. Demand surveillance-grade HDDs rated for 24/7 operation. Ask about total storage capacity in terabytes. Larger drives store more days of footage. Confirm write cycle rates to prevent premature failure. Cheap drives often die within 12 months, leaving you with no evidence during critical incidents.
Check Resolution Specs
Ask for minimum 2 megapixels per camera. Lower resolution blurs faces at distance. Higher resolution creates larger file sizes. Too many cameras on a slow network lag. Verify if the system supports 4K. If not, 1080p is standard for homes. Match the resolution to your storage capacity. Do not buy high resolution if your hard drive is too small.
Cable Routing Aesthetics
Discuss cable hiding before drilling starts. Surface mounting looks messy. Concealed cables look professional but cost more. Ask if they will use conduits. Conduits protect wires from rodents. They also prevent accidental damage. Check corner routing. Sharp bends reduce signal strength. Ensure the installer uses proper bend radii. This prevents internal wire breakage over time.
