Nowadays everyone has a security system that they fully rely on. CCTV Cameras have become an important part of security. No matter where you go you can see it; the mall, home, office, factory, park, and so much more.

There are a lot of common myths circulation around CCTV Cameras. Which is also believed by many. The myth that you are believing is just wasting your time and money.
So I’m here to debunk a few of the popular myths about CCTV Cameras.
#1 CCTV Camera can be installed by anyone
To be fair I will say that CCTV Cameras can be installed by anyone who has professional experience and knowledge about it.
People often install CCTV Cameras on their own because they are trying to cut down the cost of hiring. But think of it this way, what happens when you install CCTV Camera in the wrong way?

#2 CCTV Camera is only for the rich
This is a totally 100 % myth. not only a fancy restaurant or a penthouse owner needs to install a CCTV camera. Let’s start from the beginning, why do people think only rich people need CCTV Cameras?
The main purpose we install CCTV cameras is for the safety of our possession and property.
A low income or a standard income may not have many possessing but you do have the most important asset which is your life.
The safety of yourself is really important. Since it is a proven fact that installing CCTV Cameras can prevent burglary and robbery so it is important to install CCTV Cameras.
As you can see in the video above there is a fight going on in a store. the fight is between the customer and the employee.
At the end of the video, you can see that the police arrive to arrest the customer but to back up the employee’s story this footage is available.
No matter where you stand on the financial level if you are a good person CCTV Camera will backup whatever the situation.
#3 A safe neighbourhood doesn’t need CCTV Camera
This is the same as a serious myth because there is no such thing as a safe neighbourhood.
Let’s think of it this way if you think you are in a safe neighbourhood will you leave your house without locking it? Do you have the courage to leave your car while the engine is running?

#5 CCTV Camera can capture the whole area
People often have mistaken that CCTV Camera has a high tech ability to move and capture the whole area. While this myth can be said half true and half false.
Because the ability and the features change according to a different type of CCTV Camera. Capturing the whole premise is possible but only if you abe to position the CCTV Camera at the right spot.
#6 Burglary only happens at night
Do you know this is a really common and unacceptable myth?
Because break-in in-store during the day is really common and very dangerous. Because those who break in during the day always will be armed with weapons.
The probability you might get hurt is a high chance.
And the break-in at home will be quite non-violent. This is because that is the time for the parents to go to work and the kids will be at school.
The burglar won’t even have to be worried about waking up anyone. There won’t be any suspicion for the neighbour since it’s the daytime.
#7 CCTV Camera is expensive
As I mentioned earlier CCTV camera is for everyone’s use. there are many Security system companies in the market offering various price levels.
Just google to find out the best deal for you. and for those who are looking at how to reduce the cost of CCTV cameras here, you can learn how to cut down the cost of installing CCTV cameras at home.
#8 The red light on the CCTV Camera means it’s on
I’m happy to say that this is not a myth but a fact. The red light that you can see on a CCTV Camera means that it’s working. For some CCTV cameras, you find out if it’s working or not by seeing whether it’s moving or not.

As for some other CCTV cameras, you can see a red light in the dark which is around the lens. Not only that this is another way to find out whether the CCTV Camera has night vision or not.
But there is another hidden secret when it comes to the red light. There are companies producing dummy CCTV Cameras with a red light to make it seem like a real CCTV Camera. This helps to save money and easily will be installed.
#9 CCTV Camera is hard to use
If you are familiar with using smartphones in your daily lifestyle then you don’t have to worry about anything. The process of installing CCTV cameras might seem a little hard but using it is a really easy way.
