TYPES OF CCTV SYSTEMS

Analogue Systems - The conventional CCTV system which can have multiple cameras feeding into a fixed recording device. They're capable of recording continuous video or still images, save them to a local DVR (digital video recorder), and the DVR can also be linked to the internet for monitoring remotely using a tablet or smartphone. The recorded images and videos can be transferred to a USB flash drive or DVD/CD for identification of subjects and inspection by the police for a criminal investigation. They are intended to work as a standalone CCTV system without the need for an internet connection.

IP Cameras - IP cameras hook up with an internet connection or a wireless intranet to transmit their video and images. Each camera has got its own unique IP address and links to a specific gateway on a DVR or computer system. IP systems also send alarm notifications, images and video directly to your smart phone, consequently adding an extra bit of security by stopping a burglar from removing evidence from a local DVR. Security needs to be set-up perfectly to avoid unwanted individuals from watching your images and video.

Cloud Based CCTV - CCTV cameras use an internet connection via an encrypted and secure server to store and save all video footage and images in the "cloud". If your CCTV apparatus is able to connect to the web, either via a router as in IP cameras, or via an analogue DVR system, they'll have the ability to use cloud based storage. To store data in the cloud normally requires a monthly or annual charge and is determined by the quantity of data you wish to store, and whether you want your property in Northam by a CCTV security company.

LIGHTING FOR CAMERAS

Today's CCTV cameras will often come with built-in infrared lighting for operating in low light conditions. Any infrared camera will record black and white video in the night time and at a somewhat lower resolution than the device's daylight footage. If you find the resolution using infrared isn't clear enough for your requirements, you could always install external lighting sources that create a natural light. These lighting can generate "daylight" conditions for your CCTV cameras, as well as triggering brighter lights when any movement is identified by your equipment.

Sensor lighting can be used alongside CCTV cameras nonetheless, as with any such lighting they mustn't shine straight into the eyes of passing motorists or into neighbour's gardens and properties.

CCTV AND THE LAW

If your CCTV cameras record any part of public areas or a neighbouring garden or property you're governed by Data Protection Act legislation. This doesn't mean that they are illegal, it simply means that all captured recordings are subject to the appropriate regulations.

There are specific guidelines on informational signage for your CCTV security system if you happen to be monitoring a public place or an area belonging to some other person, and you should contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) for advice. A certified CCTV installation contractor in Northam will make certain that all legal requirements are met in regards to recording public areas and positioning cameras, which a DIY installation might not completely conform to.

If your house is within a national park, is in a conservation area, is listed or is in an area of special scientific interest, you will have to check with your local authority if planning permission is needed. Planning permission can be avoided on the majority of other houses in Northam providing the security cameras do not protrude from your exterior walls by more than one metre and they are mounted at least 2.5 metres from ground level.

PICKING THE BEST CCTV SYSTEM

Whatever your budget you should find a CCTV camera system that satisfies your needs. Your circumstances may dictate that all you require is a solitary CCTV camera to monitor your front door, while a larger house may need an array of cameras with motion detection technology that's linked to a security firm's monitoring service. A genuine and professional CCTV installer in Northam will only fit equipment you need to fit your particular circumstances.
