How many CCTV cameras do I really need?
Share
You've purchase a CCTV Recorder, it could be a DVR or NVR and now you're wondering "how many cameras do I really need?" That's the question we're here to answer for you.
The Answer
It's two, that's the answer. Well actually it depends. But we recommend two, why you ask? If you are purchasing CCTV cameras for your home, you would want a camera facing the street outside your front door and a camera pointing to the garden and this would cover 90% of homes, that are either terraced or semi detached.
The it depends part of the answer is budget and whether you want every footprint of your property to be in view. For budget, we have all ranges of CCTV Cameras from as low as £38.99 (The Swann Pro-2KMQB). You can get more than two if you're home is completely detached, or if it has a larger footprint, but in most scenarios two cameras are usually enough for protecting your home.https://beatormatch.co.uk/products/swann-pro-2kmqb-1080p-enforcer-bullet-cctv-cameras-flash-siren-4680-5680?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=webhttps://beatormatch.co.uk/products/swann-pro-2kmqb-1080p-enforcer-bullet-cctv-cameras-flash-siren-4680-5680?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=webhttps://beatormatch.co.uk/products/swann-pro-2kmqb-1080p-enforcer-bullet-cctv-cameras-flash-siren-4680-5680?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=webhttps://beatormatch.co.uk/products/swann-pro-2kmqb-1080p-enforcer-bullet-cctv-cameras-flash-siren-4680-5680?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=web
But
If you're purchasing CCTV Cameras for your business, warehouse or anything else, we recommend purchasing a minimum of four. This is to protect the outside of your premise, but you may also want to record what goes on in the premise. How many exactly you want all depends on the areas you want full viewing of.
The types of cameras you may want for outdoors or indoors is a completely different question we'll answer in the next blog post.
