How to Choose the Right CCTV System in Bokaro
Buying a CCTV system is not about picking the most expensive camera — it's about covering the right blind spots with the right technology. Here's how we approach it for our clients in Bokaro.
1. Start With a Site Survey, Not a Camera List
Walk your property like an intruder would. Entry gates, boundary walls, staircases, parking, and dark corners come first. Most homes need 4–8 cameras; most shops and offices need 8–16. A free professional survey (which we provide) maps every blind spot before you spend a rupee.
2. Resolution Matters — But So Does Storage
A 2MP camera is fine for entrances; use 4MP or higher for large areas like godowns and parking lots. Just as important: your recorder's storage. We recommend a minimum of 30 days of playback for businesses, which means pairing camera count with the right NVR and surveillance-grade hard disk.
3. Night Vision: The Real Test
Most incidents happen after dark. Look for cameras with 30–50m IR range and low-light performance. ColorVu-style full-colour night vision is worth the upgrade for gates and driveways.
4. Remote Viewing Is Non-Negotiable
Your system should stream securely to your phone with motion-alert push notifications. We configure all our systems for remote viewing with proper password security — never leave default passwords.
5. Plan for Maintenance
Dust, rain, and power cuts in the region take their toll. An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) keeps lenses clean, storage healthy, and UPS batteries strong.
Bottom Line
A well-designed 4-camera home system can start around ₹15,000–₹25,000, while business systems scale with coverage needs. Get a free survey and quote — the right design saves far more than it costs.
