A CCTV system is only useful if the cameras see what matters. Planning coverage carefully avoids blind spots and wasted cameras.
Cover entries and exits first
Main gates, doors, loading bays and reception are the most important views to capture clearly.
Match the camera to the area
Wide-angle cameras suit open areas, while narrower views are better for identifying faces at doors. Outdoor areas need weather-resistant cameras.
Consider lighting
Check how each area looks at night. Cameras with good low-light performance or additional lighting may be required.
Plan storage
Storage needs depend on the number of cameras, resolution and how many days of footage you want to keep.
Remote viewing
With the right network setup, footage can be viewed securely from a phone or computer.
