Security Camera Questions to Consider
Equipment Considerations
- Are you using existing cameras, or installing new IP, Analog, or HD-over-Coax systems?
- Do you need offsite access, and who should have permissions to view or retrieve footage?
Camera Placement Strategy
- What specific areas need constant surveillance—entry points, cash registers, storage, etc.?
- What’s your ideal recording duration? How much storage will your camera count require?
- Do you need a mix of indoor and outdoor camera types?
Networking
- Will your system run on a separate subnet or integrate into your existing network?
- Do you already have PoE switches, or will they need to be installed?
- Are the camera locations close enough to your MDF/IDF, or will cabling need to span long distances?
Video Surveillance Points to Consider
- Camera Type: Do you want visible deterrents or discreet monitoring?
- Field of View: What size area must each camera cover? Any tight or high-traffic zones?
- Resolution: Do you need detail clarity for identifying faces or license plates?
- Lighting: Are any zones poorly lit at night? Will you need IR or day/night functionality?
We’ll help answer these questions and tailor the system that fits your needs from design through installation.
