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.
Determine how long you need footage. Most systems keep 7 to 14 days. High resolution video fills drives faster. Ask for the hard drive size in terabytes. A 4TB drive holds less data than 8TB. Verify if the system supports multiple drives. RAID setups increase cost. They offer redundancy if one drive fails.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ask what happens during a power cut. Most systems stop recording when power dies. Some have battery backups. These last only 30 to 60 minutes. Ask if they can add a battery pack. This extends recording time slightly. Without backup, thieves can cut power. They then delete footage. Consider a small UPS for the main unit.
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.
