Installing a security system

[Jaany]

 

Hello, everyone! I recently started installing a security system at a facility. I am interested in advice on choosing equipment for effective video surveillance. I would appreciate any recommendations!

Thats a bit like saying how long is a piece of string. There are millions of variations, lets start with basic questions:

• What sort of facility, office, factory, warehouse, garage,shop?
• Budget?
• What do you need the CCTV for: Surveillance, Observation, Theft Deterrent, Monitoring with detection, or just to view if something happens.
• What sort of quality you need, what sort of area do you need to cover, is there adequate lighting or do you need cameras with onboard lighting.

These are just a few of the basic questions you need to answer before we can even start advising what kit to buy.
