Surveillance Camera FAQs

What's the difference between surveillance cameras and security cameras?

Surveillance cameras are typically used for continuous monitoring and recording of larger areas, often in commercial or industrial settings. They usually offer higher resolution, professional-grade features, and are designed for 24/7 operation. Security cameras can include both surveillance cameras and simpler home security solutions.

Do I need professional installation for surveillance cameras?

For professional surveillance systems, we recommend professional installation to ensure optimal placement, proper wiring, and system configuration. However, wireless surveillance systems can often be installed by homeowners with basic technical skills.

How long do surveillance cameras record footage?

Recording duration depends on your storage capacity and video quality settings. A 1TB hard drive can store approximately 30 days of footage from 4 cameras in 1080p quality, or 7-10 days in 4K quality. Cloud storage options provide flexible retention periods.

Are surveillance cameras legal in New Zealand?

Yes, surveillance cameras are legal in NZ for protecting your property. However, you must comply with privacy laws - cameras cannot record public areas or neighboring properties, and you may need to display signage indicating surveillance is in operation.

What resolution should I choose for surveillance cameras?

For professional surveillance, we recommend at least 1080p (2MP) resolution. 4K cameras offer superior detail for identifying faces and license plates but require more storage space. 2K resolution provides a good balance of quality and storage efficiency.
