Start with the property, not the camera count
A useful CCTV plan begins with entrances, valuable areas, blind spots and how people move through the site. Camera quantity comes after the coverage plan.
Plan recording and remote access together
Recorder storage, image quality and retention affect one another. Remote viewing should be configured securely and tested before handover.
Consider cabling and future upgrades
Good CAT6 infrastructure and organized recorder placement make maintenance easier and allow the system to grow without unnecessary rework.
