CCTV cameras have now become a necessity for our homes. Especially for those who live alone or whose family members live at home and they live away from home. CCTV allows users to monitor their homes even from a distance. There are many brands of CCTV cameras available in the market and these cameras also have different types of features. If you are thinking of installing a CCTV camera in your house, then consider these 5 things before buying.
Type of camera - If you are buying a camera for indoors, then you should buy a dome camera. Bullet camera is good for outdoor. If you are buying cameras to cover large places and more area, then buy a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, because they can rotate and zoom. Apart from this, if you want to see the live feed of the camera from any place, then you should get an IP camera. It has internet connectivity through which you will be able to see the live feed on the app.
Need and location - First of all, decide where you want to install the camera. Like home, office, shop, parking, etc.
Resolution- Check the resolution of the camera as per your requirement, whether you want 720p, 1080p, or 4K.
Storage option- Check local storage (SD card, DVR) or cloud storage first. Cloud storage can be expensive but it can be accessed from anywhere.
Night vision and motion detection- If surveillance is required even at night, then choose cameras with night vision features. The advantage of this is that you get immediate information about any movement.
