About CCTV Installation
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.
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.
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.
Count Your Cameras First
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.
Mobile App Compatibility
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.
Hard Drive Specifications
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.
Final Inspection Checklist
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.
Mounting Heights and Angles
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.
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.
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.
