About CCTV Installation

Power Outage Behavior

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.

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.

Storage Capacity Planning

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.

Cable Distance Limits

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.

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.

Warranty and Support

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.

Power Over Ethernet Adoption

PoE simplifies installation by sending data and power through one cable. It reduces wiring complexity and cost. Verify if your switch supports PoE standards. Passive PoE injectors can cause voltage mismatches. Compatible equipment ensures stable operation. Ask if the system uses active PoE switches for future scalability. This prevents power delivery issues when adding new devices.

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.

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.

Power Backup Systems

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.
