CCTV helps prevent and deter theft, supports insurance claims and gives you footage for evidence. But footage is only useful if the cameras were pointing at the right places.
Start with these positions
- Every entrance and exit, at face height
- The till or cash handling area
- Stock rooms and loading areas
- Parking and the gate, ideally with a licence plate reader
- Blind corners along the perimeter
Choose the right type of camera
Standard network cameras cover most indoor needs. Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras watch wide areas like yards and car parks. Licence plate readers (LPR) record vehicles at gates and barriers.
Plan camera positions during a site survey, not after the cables are already on the wall.
Maintenance matters
Dirty lenses, full storage and loose cables are common reasons a system fails when it is needed. Regular maintenance keeps it recording.
