CCTV Installation Considerations for Homes

Start with the entrances that matter: front door, back door, driveway, and any side path a kit of three random cameras might miss. Placement beats camera count.

Wired PoE systems are usually more reliable than Wi‑Fi cameras for continuous recording. Wireless can work for lighter needs but struggles with busy networks and thick walls.

Think about night vision, storage (how many days you want to keep), and how you’ll view footage on your phone. We also discuss pointing cameras at your own property boundaries — neighbour privacy matters.
