CCTV System FAQs

What's the difference between NVR and DVR CCTV systems?

NVR (Network Video Recorder) systems use IP cameras and network cables, offering higher resolution and advanced features. DVR (Digital Video Recorder) systems use analog cameras with coaxial cables, providing reliable performance at lower cost. NVR systems are more future-proof but require higher initial investment.

How many cameras do I need for my CCTV system?

The number of cameras depends on your property size and security requirements. Typically, you'll need cameras at main entrances, driveways, and vulnerable areas. A professional security assessment can determine the optimal number and placement for complete coverage.

Can I expand my CCTV system later?

Yes, most CCTV systems are designed for expansion. NVR and DVR systems typically have unused channels that can accommodate additional cameras. Plan for future growth by selecting a system with more channels than your current needs.

Do CCTV systems work during power outages?

CCTV systems can continue operating during power outages with backup power solutions like UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) units or battery backup systems. The backup duration depends on the power consumption and battery capacity.

How long do CCTV recordings last?

Recording duration depends on storage capacity, video quality, and number of cameras. A 2TB hard drive typically stores 30-60 days of footage from 8 cameras in 1080p quality. Higher resolution reduces storage time, while motion-only recording extends it.
