There are many types of Security Camera nowadays in the market. Since there is a huge improvement in the security camera development, hence, there are a few things to avoid when installing CCTV.

1.Having a bad placement for Security Camera

 

When we talk about cameras, everything is about the angle. The view from the security camera depends on the angle where the camera is placed. It is good for you to have a strategic angle for your camera so that the security camera will have a better coverage. Avoid pointing your security camera at the ground.

One of the important things to avoid when installing CCTV is never place your cameras that are overly exposed to light. This is purposely to protect the footage from excessive light.

For the wireless security camera, you need to put it in the place that has a strong Wi-fi signal.  When there is a weak signal of Wi-fi, your camera will have a problem to function well. You can check the signal using your smartphone or laptop. If your Wi-fi range is unattainable, you can consider to have a range extender.

It is good to be economized in life. But when you skimp on your cables for a security camera, it will not save your money but it will make you spend more.

 

Another one of the things to avoid when installing CCTV is when the cable is not quality, your security camera might face voltage drop. Hence, there will be a problem with your camera’s footage. You can’t simply say that your camera just needs a simple connection to function. 

 

Cheaply made cables can lead to many issues down the road and can even mess up your cameras. So you need to ensure that you are using pure copper cable.

If you are not sure about the types of cables, you can ask the expert about that. For Malaysian, especially people who live in Johor, they can simply contact the CSI SOLUTION company for further information.

3.Forgetting the password

Password is like a secret word or phrase that is used to access and gain admission to a place, system or certain services. Now, when we see through technology development, everything requires a password. When it comes to security for your home, especially when you installed multiple cameras, surely you need more than one password. when you installed the security cameras, you will be given a password.

It is better for you to change the password to something that is more complex. Try to come out with numbers or symbols to enhance your security. Most important things, choose the password that is strong enough and easy for you to remember.

 

4.Purchasing security camera without remote access

 

 

Video above shows the use of remote access that can control the camera footage and view.

Nowadays, all modern security cameras will provide a remote access to view surveillance footage. But at the same time, not all security cameras will provide remote access. When there is a remote access, it is easy for you to view the surveillance footage anytime and anywhere. Most common use is through your smartphone. 

 

It is much better for you to have a camera that provides remote access. Before you installed the cameras, you can ask the vendors to make sure you have selected the remote access security camera. For Malaysian, you can ask Dahua Security Malaysia for more info. If at any time you are unsure about your security camera in Malaysia especially Johor, the experts are here at CSI SOLUTION ready to assist you.

5.Not Installing enough security camera

 

Sometimes, people tend to make a mistake where they think they have installed enough cameras to cover all the angles in their house. One  camera is not enough actually to cover all the angles. You actually need two, three or more in order to provide coverage of an entire area because the pan/tilt/zoom camera’s wide coverage just isn’t wide enough to cover your entire home.
