CCTV: Common Questions Answered

In this blog, we answer some of the most commonly asked questions about CCTV to prepare for your installation.

Most people have CCTV cameras installed around the main entrance and exit of a building since these are most likely to be used by intruders. You should also think about blind spots such as back alleys or any side entrances that might be vulnerable to intruders. CCTV can also be placed inside the building which can be useful for businesses.

Yes, CCTV is one of the best ways of preventing crimes. Many burglars are opportunists who will only go for easy break-ins, so properties with CCTV and other security measures in place are more likely to be avoided. They are also effective for general monitoring of areas such as car parks and shop floors by enabling you to easily spot strange activity that could have gone unnoticed.

Here are many factors that determine the price of CCTV such as the number of cameras being installed, their quality and additional features such as linking the live stream to your personal device.
