Home CCTV Installation in Denbighshire

In years gone by, homeowners didn’t even give security measures such as CCTV a second thought because they were under the impression that ‘it wasn’t necessary.’ However, escalating crime rates have made additional measures such as these an essential part of a home’s security and monitoring system.

When the topic of Denbighshire home CCTV surveillance systems used to arise, it was also normally associated with tiny black and white screens and one or two cameras placed in a few locations around a home that would provide the property owner with a few fuzzy images on what was happening when they weren’t around. However, these camera and video recordings would not have been clear enough to help identify an intruder – which is why most property owners never bothered with them.

Best CCTV Systems Available

Fast-forward on a few years (no pun intended) and the quality of these systems have improved substantially. In fact, even a few of the entry-level cameras are now able to provide virtually crystal clear images that can be saved to a DVR and viewed at a later date if required.

Gone are the days where home CCTV cameras were only able to record images that were directly in front of their lenses. The PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) range of cameras there are available these days have the ability to not only record what is in front of them; these units have the ability to move around up to 360° (depending on the model of camera chosen) and zoom into areas where any form of motion or activity has been detected.

Wired or Wireless – That is the Question

Another factor that will affect the cost of a CCTV installation is whether you want to install a standard wired system or wireless units.

Standard wired CCTV installations in Denbighshire will normally be cheaper to purchase than a wireless system. However, labour costs to install them will be significantly higher than for wireless options because cables are needed between each unit, and in some cases, from each unit back to the DVR as well. In cases where IP systems are installed, these units are wired back to a dedicated network switch.

Although most homeowners think that a wireless system will be entirely wireless, this is not the case. While the camera units themselves are entirely wireless, some wiring will still be required for the DVR unit and the monitors or screens where activity will be viewed.

While the labour costs will be significantly lower when performing a wireless CCTV installation, keep in mind that the cost of each camera will normally be significantly higher than that of the regular camera units.
