CCTV Installation for Homes and Businesses
Start with the entrances, driveway, stock areas or other places you need to observe. Position, lighting and the detail needed matter as much as resolution.

What Affects CCTV Installation Costs?
Camera count, equipment, cable distances, mounting access, storage and agreed backup power affect the quote. Existing wiring may be reusable after inspection.
Camera Positions
Agree the views and detail needed at each position. Consider lighting, obstructions and neighbouring property.
Recording Storage
Retention depends on settings, bitrate, storage and recording schedule; there is no standard number of days for every system.
Cabling and Power
Discuss routes and power for cameras, recorder and network equipment. Backup runtime depends on the equipment and load.
Network and Phone Viewing
Compatible systems can support app viewing after account and network setup. Remote viewing needs connectivity; local recording need not depend on internet access.
