The five checks
- Secure video access. The cameras or recorder can share video securely with a monitoring service, with your permission.
- Useful views. Cameras point at the entrances, perimeters and assets that matter, not just at walls or sky.
- Night performance. There is enough lighting or infrared range to see people and vehicles after dark.
- Reliable connection. The site connection can send video steadily, with enough upload capacity for the monitored cameras.
- Accurate time. Camera and recorder clocks are correct so incident records line up.
What to prepare
- The camera and recorder make and model, if you know them
- A rough camera map or list of what each camera sees
- Your internet provider and connection type at the site
Never send camera passwords or footage through a web form or email. Access is arranged privately during the site review, only with your permission.
If a camera is not suitable
The review shows which views can be supported today and which would need a new angle, better lighting, a replacement camera or a better connection. Equipment and installation are quoted separately so you can decide.
