FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is CCTV and how does it work?

CCTV, or closed-circuit television, is a system that uses video cameras to transmit signals to monitors or recording devices. The cameras capture footage which is then transmitted to a recording device for storage and can be viewed in real-time on monitors. It serves as an effective tool for surveillance and security monitoring in various environments.

2. What are the benefits of using CCTV for security?

CCTV provides a visible deterrent to potential intruders and criminals. It allows for remote monitoring of premises, aiding in the prevention and detection of criminal activity. Additionally, footage from CCTV cameras can serve as valuable evidence in the event of a security breach or incident. Overall, it enhances the overall security and safety of an area or property.

3. What type of CCTV camera is best for my needs?

The best type of CCTV camera for your needs depends on where you want to install it and what you want to monitor. For indoor surveillance, a compact dome or bullet camera may work well. Outdoor areas may benefit from weatherproof bullet or turret cameras with night vision capabilities. Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras are versatile and can cover larger areas, while thermal cameras are great for detecting heat signatures in low-light conditions. Assess your specific requirements to determine the most suitable CCTV camera for your needs.

4. How do I choose the right location to install a CCTV camera?

When choosing a location to install a CCTV camera, consider areas that are vulnerable to theft, vandalism, or unauthorized access. Look for spots with good visibility and minimal obstructions to capture clear footage. Additionally, ensure the cameras are placed high enough to prevent tampering and have easy access for maintenance and adjustment.

5. What are the maintenance requirements for CCTV systems?

CCTV systems require regular inspections to ensure cameras are clean, lenses are clear, and connections are secure. Routine maintenance should include checking recording devices for adequate storage capacity and functionality to ensure continuous operation and effective monitoring.

6. Can I access my CCTV footage remotely?

Yes! You can access your cameras from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access. Through the app you can see what the cameras see and also playback and save the footage directly to your device.

7.How do burglar alarms work?

Burglar alarms work by detecting unauthorized entry or intrusion into a secured area. They typically consist of sensors placed on doors, windows, and other entry points, which trigger an alarm when they detect movement or the opening of these points. Modern systems often include motion detectors and may use sound alarms, notify a monitoring service, or alert the property owner directly via a smartphone app, depending on the setup and configuration. The goal is to deter intruders and alert occupants or authorities promptly to mitigate potential threats.
