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 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.
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.
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.
Confirm the system works with both iOS and Android devices. Some proprietary apps suffer from poor update support. Check if login requires specific regional servers. Latency affects live view speed. Ask about multi-user access limits. You may need separate accounts for family members. Ensure cloud storage options align with your privacy preferences before committing to the provider.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
