When designing a system, your CCTV system installer will look at the objectives of your systems to determine the extent of the systems as well as the equipment that shall be used in the process. Here are major considerations when installing a CCTV system.

Use of Images

The uses of the images that are recorded by the CCTV cameras play a role in the selection of the system to install. It is generally recommended that you have a system that produces a resolution of more than 400 tv lines. Where the target should be identified, the images should not be less than 120% of the screen height. For recognition, the target should be at least 50% of the screen height. For monitoring and detection, the target can be less than 10% height.

Potential Threat to Be Monitored

The activity to be monitored affects the selection of cameras and technologies. Such activity can be movement, loitering, theft or heat levels (for thermal cameras).

Response Required on Detecting the Event

What do you intend to do once the event or the object has be caught by the CCTV camera? You may decide to follow the target, raise the alarm, call the security department, or engage other security systems. This determines what other systems you integrate to your CCTV system.  

Existing and Required Lighting

Lighting affects the quality of images and motion pictures collected by the system. You may be required to add in additional lighting to improve the quality of the images. If this is not possible, consider going for day and night infrared cameras.

Power Supplies

Your CCTV system should be in operation around the clock. Thus, our CCTV installers recommend that you purchase a UPS where there is none.

Transmission and Storage of Images

It is important that the recorded images be transmitted to the appropriate storage media for retrieval when needed. If the cameras are in a high-risk area or remote, they could transmit the images wirelessly. Otherwise, cabling to the DVR or the NAS is required.

It is important that cabling stays hidden to prevent easy deactivation of the cameras. You can also consider on board storage as an added feature in cases where transmission to the storage devices is severed.
