Questions customers ask
CCTV Installation & Repairs: practical answers
Are IP cameras better than analogue?
IP systems are flexible and support a wide range of resolutions and analytics. HD-over-coax can be useful when suitable existing cabling is available. The right choice depends on the site, recorder and upgrade budget.
Can I view CCTV on my phone?
Many network-connected systems support a mobile app. Remote viewing depends on compatible equipment, secure configuration and a working internet connection.
How many cameras do I need?
Start with the areas that matter: entrances, driveway, gates, passages, tills or stock areas. Camera count should follow a coverage plan rather than an arbitrary package.
Will cameras record during load shedding?
Only if the cameras, recorder, network equipment and any required internet hardware have suitable backup power. Runtime depends on total load and battery capacity.
