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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
