About CCTV Installation

Night Vision Capability

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.

Understand Power Supply Options

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.

Check Resolution Specs

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.

Installation Timeline Expectations

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.

Lens Vandalism Protection

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.

Motion Detection Sensitivity

High sensitivity causes false alarms from shadows or insects. Low sensitivity misses real intruders. Ask how zones are configured. You should be able to exclude areas like swaying tree branches. Adjust sensitivity per camera. This reduces notification fatigue. Test the system after setup to ensure alerts match actual movement patterns rather than ambient environmental changes.

Weatherproofing Standards

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.

Recorder Type Selection

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.

Camera Resolution and Lens Choice

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.

Cable Routing Aesthetics

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.
