How many CCTV cameras do I need?

Start from what you need to see, not from a number. Each camera should have one clear job.

Entrances and exits

Every way in and out needs a camera that shows faces clearly. This is the footage most often asked for after an incident.

Cash and high-value areas

Tills, safes, stock rooms and server rooms each need their own camera close enough to see detail.

General overview

Wide cameras show movement across floors, yards and car parks. They tell you what happened, while the entrance cameras tell you who.

Gates and vehicles

If vehicles matter, add a camera positioned for number plates at each gate.

Typical starting points

A small shop often needs four to eight cameras, a small office six to twelve, a villa six to ten and a warehouse sixteen or more. The survey turns this into an exact plan for your site.

Common questions

Is one 4K camera better than two cheaper ones?

Not always. Two cameras at different angles often show more than one camera with more pixels.

Can I add cameras later?

Yes, if the recorder and switch have spare capacity. We size them with growth in mind.
