Plan business CCTV around the task at each position: till handovers, shop entrances, stock aisles or warehouse deliveries. Compare powered Wi-Fi and PoE cameras against the available network and cabling, then plan where footage will be recorded and reviewed.
Plan views and recording around the business
Plan overview coverage separately from handover detail. Wide angles and high resolution do not guarantee readable labels at every distance.
For a full business-day record, verify continuous recording, power and NVR pairing rather than relying on event notifications.
Size storage around camera count, bitrate and retention. Decide which staff can view, export and manage footage.
Before expanding an existing CCTV system, list the exact cameras, recorder hardware version and available channels. A matching brand or Ethernet connector alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm the intended recording, playback and power arrangement for the complete setup.
