Expert in CCTV Kits

A standard CCTV kit typically includes cameras, a digital video recorder (DVR) or network video recorder (NVR), cables, power supply units, and mounting hardware. Some kits may also include additional accessories such as remote controls, connectors, and user manuals.

Installation involves mounting the cameras in desired locations, running cables from the cameras to the DVR/NVR, connecting the power supply, and setting up the DVR/NVR for recording and remote viewing. It’s recommended to follow the manufacturer’s instructions or hire a professional installer for optimal setup.

Yes, most modern CCTV systems offer remote viewing capabilities. By connecting the DVR/NVR to the internet, you can access live and recorded footage through a mobile app or web browser, allowing you to monitor your property from anywhere.

Key features to consider include camera resolution (HD, Full HD, 4K), night vision capabilities, weatherproof ratings for outdoor cameras, storage capacity, ease of installation, and compatibility with remote viewing apps. Additional features like motion detection, audio recording, and smart alerts can also be beneficial.

The duration of footage storage depends on the storage capacity of the DVR/NVR and the recording settings. Continuous recording will fill up storage faster than motion-activated recording. Once the storage is full, the system may overwrite the oldest footage. It’s important to regularly back up important recordings to prevent loss.
