How To Choose a Video Surveillance System for Your Business?
Installing a video surveillance system within your business brings you a sense of security and peace of mind. Live video footage and other features not only protect you from theft and vandalism from outside your business but also within. You will have the ability to see which employees may be stealing from company property, or use the footage to resolve disputes and avoid any potential lawsuits. Technology has allowed video surveillance systems to become more intelligent and effective with features such as:
- Motion sensors
- Automatic mobile notifications,
- Intelligent zone identification.
- Smart Alerts
- And More!

5 Things To Consider
The Areas Of Your Property You Want To Be Monitored:
Determine the main areas of your property you would like to be monitored. This includes marking areas both indoors and outdoors. Measuring these areas will help give you a better understanding of how many and what type of cameras will be needed. For example, viewing wide open spaces with a panoramic camera allows larger amounts of that area to be monitored as well as no need for additional cameras.
Type Of Camera:
The two main types of video surveillance cameras include analog and internet protocol (IP). IP cameras generally offer better video quality, the option for wide or narrow fields of view, and better zoom capabilities. Zooming in on analog cameras will result in grainy imagery and will not allow you to see close details of any perpetrators. Analog cameras are also more difficult to install as they require more cables than IP cameras.

Pricing:
Pricing is dependant on many factors such as:
- Size of your business and how many cameras you require
- Types of video surveillance features you would like
- Type of camera (Analog vs. IP)
- Amount and type of video storage (NVR vs. DVR vs. Cloud storage)
- How long you want to store video footage
Determining the needs of your business will help you decide what features and cameras you will need to give you a better scope of costs.
What Features Your Business Needs:
Every business requires different features customized to its video surveillance system. These features can range from night vision to smart motion detection, to weatherproofing. Evaluating your business needs and speaking with a professional security company will help you determine which features are the best fit for your business.
Managing Systems:
The most common managing system for video surveillance is through a mobile app that normally comes with the system installed. Apps can allow you to control camera views, look back on video footage, as well as many other features such as managing storage.

Video Surveillance System FAQs
This depends on the size of your business’s property as well as the areas you wish to survey. It is recommended for analog systems to have one camera per 600 square feet and one camera for every 1200 square feet for IP camera systems.
A DVR takes video footage from an analog surveillance camera and converts it to digital format to be stored on a hard drive. Digital Video Recorders are also capable of recording in HD. NVR stands for Network Video Recorder and is used with IP cameras. NVR functions the same as a DVR.
Depending on your provider, you can pay for long-term storage or even infinite storage for all of your video surveillance footage. You can also use external storage devices to have infinite backups of the footage as well.
