Video surveillance for business: where to start?

Video surveillance for business: where to start?

 1. Identify your facility’s needs

Before purchasing equipment, answer a few questions:

  • What is the size of the premises?
  • Are there outdoor areas to monitor?
  • Is night vision needed?
  • Do you need remote access to the cameras?

 2. Choose the type of cameras

  • IP cameras — transmit video over a network, offer high image quality, and easily integrate with other systems.
  • Analog cameras — a more budget-friendly option but with limited features.
  • Cameras with video analytics — recognize faces, license plates, and detect suspicious activity.

 3. Important additional features

  • Video recording to a server or cloud
  • Remote access via phone or PC
  • Integration with security systems, access control, and fire safety
  • Automatic notifications about motion or intrusion

 4. Installation and maintenance

Camera installation must consider viewing angles, lighting, and possible blind spots. Regular technical maintenance ensures the system operates reliably.
