Purpose and Coverage 

Think about the areas you want to cover: driveway, entrance, indoor or outdoor spaces.
A professional CCTV installer should visit your property to check for blind spots. They will also recommend how many cameras are required to ensure no vulnerable areas go undetected.

Camera Type / Image Quality

Choose the appropriate camera based on your property requirements.

Bullet cameras are great for outdoor use. PTZ cameras provide remote control for larger areas you want to monitor.

The higher the resolution, the clearer the image quality. This makes it easier to identify faces, number plates, and other important details.

You can mix different camera types to build a bespoke system that works with your budget. For example, a lower resolution camera may be used in areas where external lighting, such as a streetlight, provides extra visibility.

A professional CCTV installer will take all these factors into consideration when recommending the best cameras for each area of your property.

Live Guard / Active Deterrent

Features like Live Guard or Active Deterrent are great ways to deter intruders.

CCTV cameras with this feature include a flashing light and an audio alert to immediately warn off intruders.

Basic cameras will still provide recorded evidence of any incidents, but Live Guard cameras add an active layer of security.

Visit our CCTV Installation Service Page for a information on how Live Guard - Active Deterrent CCTV cameras work.

Night Vision

CCTV Cameras with infrared night vision will ensure clear footage in low-light conditions.

Storage & Recording

CCCTV systems include a DVR or NVR, providing up to one month of recorded footage for playback.
The recording box can be installed neatly in your loft, office, or near your living room TV.
This will depend on cable routing and your specific requirements.

We are happy to advise on the best solution for your home during a site survey.
