When you think of getting CCTV cameras, you probably have a reason. First, you need to know what you need those cameras for: general view? night vision? day and night surveillance? license plate recognition? employee theft prevention? or may be all of the above, and then some? It’s pretty easy when your reason is small, such as you’d like to know if your neighbor takes her dog out to your lawn. Usually, Costco cameras will do for that one. You won’t get face recognition, and night vision won’t be that great, but you’ll know if that dog digs in your yard. Just make sure that whoever installs your cameras has a C-7 license (low voltage license that is needed for CCTV installations in CA). Now, if you’re planning on scanning license plates at the gate, or zoom on the cash register, it becomes more complicated. You’d have to calculate the angles of the views, figure out lighting conditions (remember about reflections from the windows!), use the right lens, choose whether you’d want to use dome cameras, box cameras, or maybe even hidden cameras, such as our smoke detector cams. We will return to this conversation a bit later and talk more about how we do it. For now, if you need our advice, don’t hesitate to call us at (925) 934-2288.
