Although there are many providers and with so many various types of CCTV camera installation options in Sydney.
It’s important to know your stuff when purchasing your next system
Here our team plan to give you some quick insight into the confusing world of CCTV
The below questions will help you identify the right CCTV system for you. As well as ensure you get the most out of the installation process
Have you found a CCTV Security Camera System?
Whether you understand security cameras or not it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with them.
Why? Because its important to know what you’re buying. Just like reading the specs when purchasing any other home appliances, the same applies to CCTV installation.
Some would argue that understanding your security system would be a number one priority. Why not check out what you depend on the most? After all it is protecting what you love most. And in most occasions while you sleep
Is the CCTV System right for your property type?
Think about your property for a second. How secure is it? If you really analyse your house or business from a security point of view, you might be surprised.
How do you get a security mindset? How can you think like a professional security risk assessor?
Look it’s going to sound silly but the best way to think about it is like this.
Imagine a zombie apocalypse. If you we’re using your property as a last stand where in the property would you least likely feel safe? Or ask yourself if you bunkered up in one room where would people try to break in first?
I know it’s an extreme scenario! But this is the mindset one should have when thinking about how secure a property is. Not to mention what type of CCTV Security Camera system will work best for you.
You need to think like a doomsday prepper when looking at securing your house or business
How many zombies are you fighting off? It helps determine how many cameras you need. Knowing where you have blind spots. Or even what type of security camera will work best. I.e dome camera, bullet camera, motion detection or maybe a 360 degree camera
How long will the zombie apocalypse last? It’s another question for basically how much memory do you need? How long do you want your cameras to record before recording over old footage? 6 months, 12 months, 2 years?
Today you have a tonne of options when it comes to home security and especially CCTV Security Camera supply and installation
Not that a zombie apocalypse is actually a threat but think security and how best to protect your loved ones and assets
Is the CCTV system smartphone compatible?
Although most CCTV cameras now come with smartphone connectivity, it’s important to confirm with your installer.
Some analogue CCTV systems and a handful of cheaper digital systems are not smartphone capable.
It’s always a good idea to check out some reviews online about the brand of CCTV you plan to have installed also
Why? Well while CCTV hardware is more than capable of giving you great quality security cameras, the apps they come with can sometimes leave you unimpressed
Check out load times of the cameras and also how easy they generally are to use. Many Apps third parties develop are far from user friendly.
It’s also important to note that some brands still need a lot of work to bring their software to the needs of users today
How long does a standard CCTV installation take if I’m located in Sydney?
A typical installation for up to 8 cameras can take about half a day to install.
Obviously security technicians may run into issues such as accessibility to certain parts of the house or business.
But rest assured there’s always a work around for any problem the technician might face when installing
A great camera installer will know exactly how to run their cables. As well as map out the installation prior to starting.
Cameras need to also be adjusted and tested once complete. This is an important final step and make sure your installer configures the CCTV system before completion
The last thing you want is to be left with security cameras that are out of focus. Or the promise that “we’ll come back” before you pay the installer or CCTV security company
