Important features to consider include high-resolution imaging for clear video footage, night vision capabilities for low-light environments, motion detection, remote viewing and control via mobile devices, weatherproof construction for outdoor use, and cloud storage options for footage backup.

The storage duration of CCTV footage varies depending on factors such as system capacity and settings. Typically, footage is stored for a certain number of days or weeks before being overwritten. Access to footage is usually provided through a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) or NVR (Network Video Recorder) interface, with options for remote access via smartphone apps or computer software.

To address these concerns, it’s important to comply with relevant privacy laws and regulations, minimize the collection of unnecessary data, and clearly communicate the purpose of surveillance to individuals being monitored.

Many modern CCTV cameras are equipped with infrared (IR) or low-light sensors, enabling them to capture clear footage in low light conditions or at night. Cameras with night vision capabilities use IR illumination to enhance visibility in dark environments, ensuring round-the-clock surveillance.

Regular maintenance of your CCTV system involves tasks such as cleaning camera lenses, checking connections, updating firmware, and ensuring sufficient storage capacity. In case of issues, troubleshooting steps may include checking power sources, adjusting camera settings, and contacting technical support for assistance. Keeping your system well-maintained helps ensure its reliability and effectiveness over time.
