A CCTV Camera is an absolute must to ensure the security of people and goods. Every CCTV should have some basic features to ensure maximum functionality.

Here are some of the basic functions of a CCTV Camera, that you should look out for before making a purchase decision.

  1. High-Definition and Wide-Angle Video:

A wide-angle camera offers significantly better coverage of the area in question than a normal CCTV, removing the necessity for a large number of cameras. Additionally, having a high-definition camera helps capture and view images clearly. This is particularly effective in identifying people and objects in the cases of crime etc.

  1. Wireless Technology:

What happens when miscreants cut the wire connecting the camera to the recording / storage system? The best pictures and visuals will be pointless then! You will want cameras that can transmit the recorded footage wirelessly without degrading its quality.

  1. Night Vision/Low-Light Cameras:

A camera that can record at night or the very least low light conditions is a must. Most crimes and other activities do not occur in broad daylight. Hence having low-light features to capture visuals lucidly under a variety of conditions is an absolute necessity.

  1. Remote Access and Cloud Backup:

Remote access to the recorded video and live feed from your security cameras is crucial. This helps you secure the data and access it when needed. A system that doesn’t offer a backup of at least a few months’ worth of data is pointless. We do not know when we will need the footage!

  1. Speakers:

Security cameras with speakers may sound pointless but they are a step up from speaking over an intercom or through the door. Additionally, you might be able to hear conversations and take action accordingly.

  1. Stealth:

A CCTV camera should not be conspicuous. If it is easily visible, people will find ways and means to avoid it. Being stealthy by installing the camera at the right locations is an absolute must. The camera needs to be functional, and not difficult to install and should also merge in with the surroundings at the same time.

Investing in a CCTV camera is the right step in ensuring the safety of your family and loved ones. It requires immense thought and discretion. Looking out for these features helps a great deal in enabling you to make the right decision.
