A solution shaped around your work.
An effective camera layout considers the purpose of each view rather than camera count alone. Entrances, lighting changes, obstructions and required image detail guide placement, recording settings and the final acceptance checks.
What this service covers
- Site survey and camera coverage layout
- Camera, recorder and storage compatibility selection
- Cable installation and recording schedule setup
- Daytime, evening and playback acceptance checks
We confirm the selected equipment, responsibilities and deliverables in your project proposal before work begins.
How we deliver the work
- 01
Review the site and purpose
Map the areas that need visibility, lighting conditions and existing equipment. Discuss authorized viewing, recording objectives and the intended use of the system.
- 02
Coordinate the installation
Plan camera positions, cable routes, recorder connections and storage arrangements. Coordinate site access and confirm which equipment and configuration changes form part of the work.
- 03
Check viewing and recording
Verify agreed live views, playback, time settings and administrator permissions. Review the handover with the responsible operator and document outstanding maintenance requirements.
A clear handover
Agree the records your team needs to operate and maintain the solution. Depending on the selected scope, these can include:
- Camera and recorder configuration record
- Live-view and playback check results
- Operator guidance and maintenance observations
What to prepare for your project
Share site plans, priority areas, existing equipment and recording requirements. Identify authorised viewing staff and confirm site permissions before installation positions are agreed.
Discuss this serviceYour questions, answered
How many CCTV cameras will my premises need?
The number follows the coverage goals, site layout and useful image detail at each location. A survey identifies blind spots and placement limits before the camera schedule and recording plan are agreed.
How should recording retention and storage be planned?
Review the camera count, resolution, recording schedule and retention requirements for the premises. Confirm the proposed capacity and recording settings together; camera count alone does not establish how long footage is retained.
Can authorised staff view cameras from a phone?
Remote viewing can be assessed for compatible equipment and the available connection. Agree who can view live footage or recordings, protect their accounts and test access without sharing administrator credentials.
Do you need camera footage to assess the initial request?
Usually a description of the issue, equipment models and a general layout is enough to begin. Do not upload CCTV footage or access credentials to the enquiry form. Any later diagnostic access should be authorized and limited to the agreed work.
