| How
to Asses your Requirements: |
Objectives?
Your Safety - from burglars
and home invaders
Property Protection - deterrent,
evidence, identification levels
Internal and/or External -
Public area or Private area
Check on Pets/Kids/Cleaners/Nannies
from your office |
Solutions
Your Safety - an external camera
watch the entrance so you can see who is at the
door,
Property - external as a deterrent
to break ins and vandalism
Mix of Cameras - Do they need
night vision
Internal Uses- this really
depends on what you need to see. If you need to
see into your nursery then a covert camera is
good but still has to have cable. |
Cameras
Standard Domes do not look
good inside a house so we generally recommend
some covert cameras, such as the smoke detector
or PIR (alarm motion detector) cameras including
dummy versions
Shoplifters
- for identification or general recognition
Till view - High quality and
good focus for real identification of money
Customer Safety - general cameras |
Recording
Length of data retention is
controlled by size of disk, how many frames per
second are recorded for each camera and when are
they recorder, motion, or live?
Different systems give varied
recording lengths and as a rule this should not
exceed 30 days under the data protection act and
further guidelines for CCTV.
High quality cameras (entrance)
will use more disk capacity than general cameras
and should therefore generally be set to motion
only. 2 seconds pre motion and 2 sec's post motion
Evidence from recordings needs
to comply with certain rules and by and large
needs images to be watermarked.
