Watching TV shows like "Persons of Interest" raises the question about how many securitysurveillance systems are out there. The truth is that the number CCTV security systems have grown over 1000% in the last 10 years. Since September 11 authorities have become more resourceful in the use of traffic cams and other outdoor surveillance camera systems.
Throughout Miami traffic cams have become the norm and rarely is there a holdup and security cameras in catching the perpetrator. So when it came time to install a system on my business I went out and did some extensive research prior to making a decision. I am a person that does not fall for commercials and advertising. If you watch TV for any given period of time I'm sure you're familiar with AT&T's commercials where they claim they are the fastest 4G network in the US. This my friend is far from the truth as a matter of fact as a former AT&T customer I can tell you that there cell phone service it is not only one of the most pricey is but also the most unreliable. This is why you should always do an independent research prior to engaging a professional or company. When it came to installing a CCTV security system in my presence I was trying to figure out whomakes the best surveillance cameras in the market. Given the array of brands, technologies, shapes and sizes available this may be difficult for the average person to decipher. There are a lot of things to take into consideration when it comes to selecting a CCTV security system here are some of the most important facts I have found out.
#1 - Stays away from box systems - Any, if not all, CCTV boxed systems consist of the same cameras, a DVR and necessary hardware to do a basic installation. The quality of a CCTV system is greatly impacted by the location where the cameras are placed. Each location is likely to have a unique area that he needs to be covered, lighting and distance for this reason every camera should be selected based on where there are going to be mounted.
#2 - Stick with well-known brands - Today everything from Nike to Michael Kors bags are counterfeited in China. China is also the number one provider of CCTV cameras. Because it looks like a branded product it does not mean that is going to perform like a branded product. Some of the top names known for quality CCTV cameras are Bosch, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Sharp and Pelco. These are also some of the most copied brands in the CCTV industry. Make sure you are buying from a reputable retailer and authorized dealer of the brand you select.
#3 - Hired a professional - There are many high-quality Miami security camera installation companies out there. Salespeople at many local electronic retailers like Best Buy or even BrandsMart will have you believe that installing a CCTV security system is as simple as 123. Nothing is further from the truth. In order to perform a professional installation you may require tools that in many occasions cost more than hiring a professional. Simply Google CCTV Miami, stay away from the paid ads and request quotes from several companies. Also, although CCTV is consider a part "security" and often associated with home security companies with today’s Internet base CCTV security systems is often better to hire an Internet professional in Miami.
Short of hiring a security guard company a closed-circuit surveillance system can be one of the most important investments you make for your business. So, do your due diligence and don't rush to any decisions when it comes to selecting a CCTV surveillance system for your business.
