CCTV and Security Camera FAQs
Should I install wired or wireless security cameras?
Wired systems often offer more reliable connections and central recording, while wireless options
can be easier to install in some homes. Installers can suggest what suits your layout, internet
connection and budget rather than using a single approach for every job.
Where should security cameras be placed?
Common spots include front doors, side gates, garages and back patios. The goal is to see entry
points and movement areas without pointing directly into neighbours’ private spaces. Your installer
can walk around the property with you to plan camera angles before work begins.
How long is footage kept on a recorder?
Recording time depends on hard drive size, camera numbers, resolution settings and whether the
system records continuously or on motion. Installers can adjust settings to balance picture quality
with how many days of history you would like to keep.
Can cameras be linked with lights or alarms?
Some systems can trigger lights, sirens or notifications when motion is detected. You can ask your
installer what is possible with your chosen cameras, alarm systems or smart home devices and what
additional equipment is needed for this.
