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.
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.
Standard Ethernet cables max out around 100 meters before signal drops. Longer runs require active extenders or fiber optics. Ask your installer if your property exceeds this limit. Excess length causes intermittent connection losses and frame drops during live viewing. Request a site survey to measure exact distances from the recorder to each planned camera location first.
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.
Ask for minimum 2 MP resolution for clear facial recognition. Lower resolutions blur details at night. Inquire about lens focal length. Wide-angle lenses suit doorways, while narrow lenses monitor long driveways. Wrong lenses capture too much background noise. Verify each camera model before finalizing the quote to ensure adequate detail capture.
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.
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.
Small systems take 1 to 2 days. Larger setups require 3 to 5 days. Ask for a specific start date. Delays often come from cable path approvals. Confirm if drilling is included. Exterior work depends on weather. Get the schedule in writing. Clear timelines prevent indefinite waiting. Ask what happens if access is blocked, so you understand responsibility for potential project extensions.
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.
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.
