Wired or Wireless?

Is your property conducive to running wires around your residence for your home alarm CCTV system or will you need a wireless system? Remember even if it is wireless, you will still need power for the camera from a local power supply.

CAT5 cables or Coaxial?

You can run the traditional Coaxial cable to power and process the signal to the cameras throughout your home security CCTV setup.

Since transformers are necessary to energize each camera device,we always suggest that Category 5 cable be installed with small hi tech converters which eliminate all the power supply difficulties!

Indoor cameras or outdoors?

Outside gets a little more expensive but the small additional costs are worth covering your external entry points to the premises. The deterrent factor alone is a worthwhile bonus from installing external cameras.

What DVR?

This is basically the unit that records all the footage from the cameras that you can view at any time.

How much do you need to record? 30 days non stop? Less or more you need to decide to make your choice capacity wise on what size of Hard Drive you will need to buy to run in the DVR.

Constant recording or motion detection?

Do you want to see everything the cameras see throughout the day and night or would you prefer them to be set on motion detection so they record only what moves past them. Motion detection allows for greatly increased recording capacity on the DVR.

For example if the your front door camera was set up correctly with the motion detection setting, you would only see who had come to your front door throughout the day with out having to manually wind the DVR forward.

How do I backup my Footage?

Recordings which are 30 days old can be taped over or if you desire back them up to USB,CD or network PC. These choices will all affect the budget for your home security CCTV system.
