The Different Types of CCTV Systems Available
There are several types of CCTV systems available, each suited to different property types, layouts and security requirements. The right system will depend on the areas that need monitoring, recording requirements, image quality, access arrangements and whether remote viewing is required.
Analogue CCTV systems are a traditional option that use coaxial cabling and a digital video recorder. These systems can still be suitable for basic security requirements, smaller properties or where an existing analogue system is already installed and requires maintenance or upgrade.
IP CCTV systems use network cabling and allow cameras to transmit video through a network video recorder or connected system. IP cameras usually provide higher image quality, flexible recording options and remote access features. They are commonly used in commercial premises, residential blocks, managed properties and sites requiring clearer image capture.
Wireless CCTV systems can be useful where cabling routes are limited or where a quicker installation is required. These systems should still be designed carefully to ensure a reliable connection, suitable power supply and appropriate recording capability.
CCTV systems can include internal cameras, external cameras, dome cameras, bullet cameras, PTZ cameras, night vision, motion detection, remote viewing, mobile app access, network video recorders and cloud or local storage options.
For managed properties, landlords and commercial clients, CCTV can be used to monitor entrances, communal areas, car parks, bin stores, external walkways, reception areas and other vulnerable locations.
Corevia Group can assess the property, recommend suitable camera positions and install a CCTV system that supports practical security and reliable coverage.
Getting Started with a CCTV System
Installing a CCTV system starts with understanding the security concerns at the property. This may include unauthorised access, vandalism, anti-social behaviour, theft, fly tipping, damage to communal areas or the need for better visibility around entrances and external areas.
The next step is to assess the building layout and identify suitable camera locations. This includes considering lighting levels, blind spots, cable routes, recording requirements, power supplies, internet access and whether remote viewing is required.
Once the requirements have been reviewed, Corevia Group can recommend a suitable CCTV system and provide a clear scope of works. This may include new camera installation, replacement cameras, recorder upgrades, remote viewing setup, cabling, containment, signage and system testing.
During installation, cameras should be positioned to capture relevant areas while avoiding unnecessary intrusion into neighbouring properties or private spaces. Suitable signage and responsible system use should also be considered where required.
After installation, the system should be tested to confirm image quality, recording, playback and remote access where applicable. Corevia Group can also provide maintenance, fault finding and upgrades to existing CCTV systems.
