CCTV Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common CCTV buying, installation and service questions.
How many CCTV cameras do I need?
The number depends on entry points, layout and the detail required in each view. A coverage plan helps avoid unnecessary cameras.
How long will recordings be stored?
Retention depends on hard disk capacity, camera count, bitrate, resolution and recording schedule. Confirm the target duration in your quote.
Can I view cameras on my phone?
Many supported systems offer mobile access with internet connectivity and an appropriate app. Features depend on the selected equipment.
What warranty is included?
Warranty depends on the selected equipment and supplier terms. Confirm equipment warranty and workmanship coverage in writing.
Do CCTV cameras need internet?
