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.
Ask if cameras use Power over Ethernet. This sends data and power through one cable. It simplifies installation. Standalone cameras need separate power adapters. Adapters fail more often. They get hot in direct sun. PoE is generally more reliable for long-term use. Confirm the switch supports PoE standards. Not all switches do.
Count every blind spot before hiring. Walk your property at night with a flashlight. Note where you need coverage. Entry doors, windows, and driveways are critical. Ask the installer how many cameras they recommend. More lenses cost more. Do not let them upsell unnecessary units. Keep the total number based on your actual security needs.
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.
PoE simplifies installation by sending data and power through one cable. It reduces wiring complexity and cost. Verify if your switch supports PoE standards. Passive PoE injectors can cause voltage mismatches. Compatible equipment ensures stable operation. Ask if the system uses active PoE switches for future scalability. This prevents power delivery issues when adding new devices.
Choose between NVR and DVR based on your camera type. IP cameras need NVRs, while analog systems require DVRs. Mixing them creates compatibility issues. Check the recorder’s channel count. If you plan to expand later, buy a unit with extra empty ports. This avoids replacing the entire central brain of your security system later.
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.
Ask for written warranties on parts and labor. Standard part warranties last 1 to 2 years. Labor warranties vary by provider. Keep all paperwork. Ask for the support phone number. Test their responsiveness during the quote phase. If they are slow now, they will be slow later. Ensure they have local techs for quick visits.
Check the infrared range for each camera. Standard IR lights work up to 20 meters. For wider areas, you need spotlights or higher wattage IR. Ask about color night vision. It requires ambient light. Pure IR is black and white. Test the footage at night before final sign-off. Ensure the installer adjusts the IR cut filter correctly.
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.
