CCTV cameras have proven to be an effective and failsafe way of monitoring your property. This is to both deter criminal activity and obtain visual footage of any theft or property damage that can then be used for insurance purposes or prosecutorial purposes.
At SA Fire Watch, we recommend a combined number of different types of security systems to best secure your business against the possibility of theft and vandalism. This commonly starts with the installation of theft deterring CCTV cameras in dark spots within your premises
These are placed at all points of entry and are usually large and easily visible to put off potential intruders. We also recommend smaller cameras within the premises itself, which allows you to monitor day to day activities within your premises, including monitoring staff movements.
A good security system also comes in handy in the case of insurance claims. With a quality security system, you premises are monitored at all times, which means if anything is stolen, there should be irrefutable evidence of this on your CCTV system.

An IP CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) system is a type of surveillance system that uses internet protocol (IP) technology to transmit video signals over a network. It consists of IP cameras, network switches, recording devices, and software that allows for remote monitoring and management of the system.
IP CCTV systems offer several benefits over traditional analog systems, including higher resolution and image clarity, remote access and control, scalability, and the ability to integrate with other security systems and devices. They are also easier to install and maintain, and can be more cost-effective in the long run.
IP CCTV systems work by using IP cameras to capture video footage, which is then transmitted over a network to a recording device, such as a network video recorder (NVR). The NVR stores the video footage and allows for remote viewing and management of the system via software or a web interface.
There are many types of IP cameras available for use in CCTV systems, including dome cameras, bullet cameras, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras, and thermal cameras. Each type of camera is designed for specific applications and environments, and can be customized to meet the needs of the system.
Choosing the right IP CCTV system depends on several factors, including the size and layout of the area to be monitored, the level of security needed, and the budget for the system. It is recommended to consult with a security professional to determine the best system and components for your specific needs.

Digital IP CCTV systems contain top of the range components that provide exceptional quality images. Other benefits include PoE (Power Over Ethernet) compatibility, the need for only one CAT6 data cable for NVR connection and you get remote access via smartphone/tablet.In contrast, an analog system gives lower quality images without any remote access.

We supply cameras from a variety of suppliers including Hikvision, Dahua & Provision. The different brand’s range includes wide angle fixed and zoom lenses in the following categories
We have a solution for limiting unwanted footage. We’ll set up ‘dead zones’ on your security camera installation to prevent unnecessary recordings and we can even black out certain areas of the feed.

Professional security camera installation can take anywhere between a few hours to over a day, depending on the order. Residential installations might typically take a few hours depending on the number of cameras and rooms that require coverage. Commercial offices or buildings requiring a larger quantity of cameras will usually take longer.
For outdoor installation, it is best to install your cameras near entry points such as doors and windows on the first floor as this will capture any uninvited guests entering the premises. It is also recommended that your CCTV installation is installed high enough to be out of arms reach.
In addition to being a criminal deterrent, a CCTV installation can help you improve product control, provide Work Cover evidence and save money on security patrol costs.
We believe in wired CCTV systems because we want to give our clients maximum reliability. This is less likely with wireless systems as cameras can easily disconnect from the Wi-Fi network. A wireless system is also more difficult to maintain as you either need to replace batteries continuously or ensure there’s a working power outlet for each camera.
You don’t want valuable footage to be overwritten so we’ll help you pick the right package for your needs. You can have storage of 1TB up to 8TB or much more simply by adding more hard drives. An ideal guideline is to store 1 month’s footage at a time. When the hard drives are full the system will overwrite 10 minutes of footage at a time.
MP refers to megapixels and this relates to image quality. You want a high number of megapixels to ensure you have good images that you can zoom in on without losing picture quality. Use this as a reference:
