Planning your CCTV Installation
One of the first things you will need to consider when planning a CCTV installation is where you would like the cameras placed. Placing them where they are visible can be a great deterrent to potential intruders. Your CCTV cameras will need to cover all points of easy access and areas that are screened from view. These installation points may include side entrances, front and rear doorways, outbuildings, and off-street windows. Koning Electrical experienced CCTV installers are happy to perform a site survey to help you identify the key locations for your cameras.
When installing CCTV, it is important that you consider and understand your legal obligations under UK privacy laws and Data Protection. If your CCTV installation is filming your neighbour’s property, then there are strict rules you must follow. Using an experienced installer who understands these rules and regulations will ensure you stay on the right side of the law. They can ensure your CCTV cameras are properly sited and are not capturing images of anyone else’s property.
CCTV Camera TyKoning Electrical
The kind of CCTV camera you select for your installation will be determined by several factors including cost, location and usage. The main camera designs are:
Dome CCTV Cameras – Dome CCTV cameras are enclosed in a dome shaped cover. The cover protects the camera from damage and conceals the direction the camera is facing. This makes it harder for an intruder to pick a safe route to access a building. Dome cameras can be found inside and outside properties.
Bullet CCTV Cameras – These are the most common kind of CCTV camera installations and are used in many locations. They are generally a highly visible deterrent. They are protected by a weatherproof casing. They can cover a long distance and the angle of view can be easily adjusted after installation.
C Mount CCTV Cameras – If you require an adaptable field of vision, these are the CCTV cameras for you. Due to their detachable lenses, they can be adapted to most locations. They offer a wider view - 40ft compared to a standard view of 35ft.
Pan, Tilt & Zoom Cameras – PTZ CCTV cameras allow you to dynamically control your camera with a remote control. They are used when you need to zoom in to focus on a face or other detail. They can be continually adjusted and can cover a full 360 degrees.
Extra Features
Finally, your CCTV installer will ask if you would benefit from any additional features on your CCTV cameras. If you would like remote access to your footage and cameras, then Network or IP CCTV would be advised. These allow you to access your cameras from anywhere in the world to adjust the angle and review images. If you need cameras that can function in varying light conditions, then Day/Night CCTV would be recommended. They capture a clear image whatever the lighting, from full sunlight to dark.
