CAMERA
If you’re building a CCTV
camera system, you have two
camera options: Internet
Protocol (IP) or analog. Due to
its compatibility with most
applications, IP is the
preferred choice for modern
capabilities. It’s advised to
choose an analog camera if
you have a legacy digital
recording system with older
technology. Wired is best for
larger properties as the system
facilitates multiple devices
running on larger properties
without taxing your network.
Consider wireless versions for
more temporary or smaller
spaces not requiring several
cameras and extended
coverage. This network is also
convenient due to the absence
of drilling holes or
cumbersome wires. If your
space is a temporary or leased
property, these cameras can
be easily removed and
uninstalled without major
interference and alterations.
CCTV WIRING DIAGRAM VIDEO STORAGE
There are two main types
of recording systems in the
market. The first being the
DVR which is cheaper and
easier to setup. The second
being the NVR which is
fairly more expensive and
requires some technical
knowledge. The larger the
HDD, the further you can
playback. The higher the
quality of the camera, the
lesser you can playback as
it takes more space. In my
estimate a 8 channel 1080p
with a 1TB HDD will give
you roughly a week of
playback. Probably lesser
because the quality is high.

Recorder) are mostly wired.

facility, three to five screens is a good starting point. You can also easily
add or remove monitors as your needs change.
