CCTV Winnersh

CCTV Installation Winnersh Berkshire (RG41): Over the past ten years, advancements in technology and lower costs have resulted in a widespread adoption of CCTV systems and security cameras in Winnersh. A CCTV system that is not functioning properly might not provide the expected security gains. To ensure maximum functionality, it is advisable to utilise the knowledge and skills of a certified CCTV installation service when considering the installation of surveillance cameras on your Winnersh property.

TYPES OF CCTV SYSTEMS

Analogue Systems - The standard CCTV system which can have a multi-camera installation fed into fixed recording equipment. They are capable of recording still images or continuous video footage, save them to an on-site Digital Video Recorder (DVR), and the DVR can also be connected to the internet for monitoring remotely using a smartphone or laptop. The stored videos and images can be copied to a CD/DVD or USB stick for identification of subjects and inspection by the police in any criminal investigation. These are designed to work as an independent CCTV system without the need for access to the internet. By selecting a CCTV system with remote viewing capabilities, you can gain greater accessibility and convenience by accessing your property's footage in real-time from anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection.

IP Cameras - Wireless CCTV cameras connect with local equipment using their own network (intranet), or can be connected to a router for the transfer of their video signals. Each individual camera has got a unique IP address through which they're linked to a DVR or computer system. IP systems also send video, images and alarm notifications straight to your smart phone, therefore adding an extra dash of security by stopping an intruder from removing evidence from a local DVR. To prevent any unauthorised viewing of the video and images, the security features and encryption must be configured in the correct way.

Cloud Based Systems - Through the use of a gateway that is securely encrypted, these CCTV systems record video clips and images onto a "cloud-based" storage location. Any CCTV camera system, analogue or IP, that has a net connection has the capability to store its footage to a cloud based storage facility. To store data in the "cloud" usually requires a yearly or monthly fee and will be determined by the size of data you need to store, and whether you want your property in Winnersh by a CCTV security company.

LIGHTING FOR CAMERAS

So that they can work efficiently in dark conditions, contemporary CCTV cameras normally come complete with built-in infrared lighting. Because of the peculiarities of low light recording the footage will always be a black and white version, but will be of only a marginally lower resolution to that recorded in daylight conditions. If you think that the resolution produced by infrared cameras is not clear enough for your CCTV's requirements, you could always install external security lighting to create a natural light. These can also be set to only light up if the camera detects movement, and they offer you the most effective chance of capturing colours in artificial light conditions.

As with any sort of security lighting it should not be aimed where it can blind people driving vehicles on nearby roads, or shine straight onto neighbouring properties.

CCTV AND THE LAW

Systems that monitor or record your property don't come under the Data Protection Act (2018) except when they record footage from any areas of public, or neighbour's property; no matter how small the area covered may be. This simply means that your recordings are subject to the legislation, but doesn't mean that they're illegal.

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) should be contacted for advice on the guidelines on signs and notices for your CCTV security system if you are going to be monitoring and recording a public place or an area belonging to some other person. By using an established CCTV specialist in Winnersh to install your CCTV system, you can make certain that all legal obligations are complied with.

Unless you're in a place of special scientific interest, you live within a national park, you live in a conservation area or you are mounting them on a listed building, you probably will not need to get planning permission for your exterior CCTV security cameras. Planning permission can be avoided on the majority of other buildings in Winnersh so long as the cameras do not stick out from your external walls by more than 1 metre and they're mounted at least 2.5m from ground level.

SELECTING THE RIGHT CCTV SYSTEM

You can find CCTV solutions for any dwelling in Winnersh, and security systems to satisfy every budget and security requirement imaginable. Larger properties might require multiple CCTV cameras with cutting edge motion detecting sensors which are linked with a security company's monitoring service, while more humble residences may just need one simple camera to monitor the front doorway and document entries and exits. A genuine and professional CCTV installation company in Winnersh will only recommend equipment you need to match your specific situation.

A decent Winnersh CCTV installation company will also keep to your spending budget and ensure that you finish up with the best possible CCTV system for your price range. You should be able to expect the highest levels of service for any CCTV installation, regardless of how much you are prepared to fork out. It is always wise to get a minimum of three estimates from different companies, and you should avoid accepting the first quotation that you're given.

Does CCTV Help Prevent Crime?

With regard to home security, a popular question that's regularly asked is "Do CCTV cameras help to prevent crime?" Most definitely yes, appears to be the response to that question. To find out whether this is in fact the case various research studies have been conducted in the UK, and they have come up with some intriguing results.
