    Are video doorbells a better investment than domestic CCTV?

    Security doorbells have been incredibly popular –  according to American analysts Strategy Analytics, 11.7 million were sold across the globe in 2021, up 63% from 2020.

    This surge in popularity would suggest that domestic CCTV doorbells are the way to go.

    However, while it can seem easy, video doorbells aren’t without serious issues you need to consider, including:

    • You may need a subscription to access all features and CCTV footage can have a limited access period
    • They might not cover your whole property, causing blind spots
    • They can make you more of a target instead of less – as their position implies you have belongings worth stealing

    Don't compromise - choose domestic CCTV systems

    Instead of investing in a fad, many homeowners choose to invest in professional domestic CCTV cameras, which come with a range of benefits, including:

    Unlimited access to all CCTV footage

    This can be accessed at any time using a cloud-based management system.

    CCTV cameras that can cover your whole property up to your boundary

    Helping to prevent blindspots, the right number of well-positioned outdoor CCTV cameras and an additional indoor security camera supply will ensure all possible CCTV footage is collected.

    Fitting CCTV cameras sympathetically

    To ensure they capture images that are useful and don’t attract thieves, a domestic CCTV installation needs to be bespoke for all homes.

    A choice of wired and wireless security cameras

    Select whatever option is best for your house – including wireless CCTV cameras or a more permanent domestic CCTV system.

    Which domestic security cameras should I choose?

    The experts at PNP recommend selecting a combination system, made up of Hikvision CCTV cameras and the Texecom Connect system, for the easy and simple management of your CCTV systems via a tablet or smartphone at any time.

    Benefits of these systems include:

    • The choice of black and white or full-colour HD CCTV images – even in low light
    • Motion-triggered CCTV capture – ideal for a domestic CCTV system in a more remote location
    • Management from one place – with 24/7 convenience and control for the CCTV owner
    • Secure data and managed access control – compliant with data protection laws
    • The ability to watch live as CCTV cameras capture images

    How much does CCTV installation cost?

    The cost of a domestic CCTV system will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

    • If you choose to use wireless cameras, night-vision cameras, or dome cameras
    • The number of cameras and how many wired CCTV cameras you include
    • How comprehensive your monitoring system is – for example, does it include remote monitoring or night vision cameras

    As such, to find the cost for multi-camera systems or for a bespoke quote from CCTV cameras and home CCTV installation, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at PNP Electrical Services Ltd.

    Domestic CCTV Installation - PNP Electrical Services

    Are all domestic security camera installers the same?

    Just as CCTV cameras differ, so do those who install CCTV systems.

    To be sure you are dealing with a reputable CCTV system provider, ask the following questions:

    • Do they have public liability insurance and up-to-date insurance documents?
    • Are they accredited?

    Look for accreditation from a range of professional organisations, including the NICEIC, ECA, Joint Industry Board, and Construction Line.

    • Are they approved by their local authority or council?

     

    This ensures nobody coming to your home will have a criminal record.

      Domestic CCTV installation FAQs

      Is a wired CCTV camera system considered the best option?

      When researching CCTV options, there will be a large choice of CCTV cameras and a coordinating CCTV system to compare.

      Generally speaking, wireless cameras can be convenient and easy to install, but they are often much worse in terms of performance – providing a lacklustre security system with low-quality CCTV footage that can’t identify criminals or help the emergency services gather evidence if the worst should happen.

      For this reason, wired cameras and a more rigorous security system, with a digital video recorder, are well worth the CCTV cost as they provide better closed circuit television files and can offer extra features like night vision capabilities.

      For more guidance, call us on 01942 609 511 for expert advice.

       

      Is a home CCTV system separate from domestic alarm systems?

      Having a CCTV system installed can be part of a complementary security system for domestic properties when used alongside domestic intruder alarm systems.

      However, many homeowners also install security cameras as a primary solution to deter criminals and reduce insurance premiums.

      For whatever reason you are considering a CCTV system, CCTV installation from PNP can be fitted bespoke to achieve any aim you are working towards with a new security system.

      Why not speak to the team to see how security cameras or a CCTV installation can work for you?

       

      Do CCTV cameras need an internet connection?

      Whether you choose CCTV installation with wired or wireless cameras, you can decide if you want to rely on an internet connection.

      These online security camera systems can store hundreds of hours of footage using cloud storage, while internet-free security measures would use a digital video recorder (DVR) to record and store your clips.

      Which option you choose can also affect the CCTV installation cost, so be sure to ask about this when comparing security camera systems – our experienced electrical contractors would be happy to discuss your needs with you.

      Can I install CCTV cameras myself?

      Depending on how much experience you have with DIY and how many cameras you are using, it could be possible to complete CCTV installation yourself.

      However, as the security system depends entirely on the correct positioning of home CCTV cameras – which need to be high up and well-positioned to give a good view of your property without overlooking your neighbours – you may need confidence with ladders and potentially wiring.

      It is for this reason that most CCTV installation is completed by qualified and experienced electricians, which vastly reduces the likelihood of mistakes with multi-camera systems.

      If you decide to ask the experts about home CCTV installation, give us a call on 01942 609 511 and we can discuss CCTV prices and the installation process.
