Coverage for your property

Security camera installation for homes, businesses and estates

Each property has different viewing needs. For this reason, start with the areas you need to see rather than choosing a camera count alone.

Home CCTV installation example

Understand the choices

IP, analogue and Wi-Fi security cameras

These terms describe how cameras connect and send video. Wi-Fi cameras are a type of IP camera. Therefore, compare the actual connection and recording features before choosing.

Camera connections and recording options
TypeConnectionWhat to check
IP cameraDigital video over a supported wired or wireless network. Network capacity, recording method and supported features. Storage may use an NVR, memory card or compatible service.
Analogue cameraVideo cabling to a compatible DVR. Recorder compatibility and image quality. Some hybrid recorders support analogue and IP cameras.
Wi-Fi cameraAn IP camera using a wireless network connection. Signal strength, storage and power. Wi-Fi connectivity does not automatically mean the camera needs no power cable.

Live viewing and recording are different. Confirm where footage will be stored, how long it should be kept and how you can retrieve it.

Choose features with a purpose

Why consider an IP CCTV system?

Image detail

Select resolution and lenses for the scene. Also consider lighting and camera position, because these affect useful detail.

Remote viewing

Compatible equipment can support phone or computer access. However, remote viewing depends on the network, internet connection and account setup.

Power over Ethernet

Supported PoE cameras receive power and data through one Ethernet cable. This can simplify cabling when the network equipment is compatible.

Recording options

Depending on the model, storage may use an NVR, supported memory card or cloud service. Confirm capacity and any subscription costs.

Smart detection

Selected models offer motion alerts and person or vehicle detection. Face and number-plate recognition need suitable equipment and setup.

Expansion and integration

A planned system can support additional cameras and compatible security equipment. First check recorder capacity, bandwidth and product compatibility.

Encryption and other network protections depend on the equipment and configuration. Ask about access controls, updates and supported security features.

Request a current quote for your selected equipment, camera positions and property.

Are the estimated prices your own package prices?

No. The table provides market examples for budgeting. Gate Repairs Pretoria confirms its price in a written quote after reviewing the equipment and work required.

What should a CCTV installation quote include?

Check camera models, recorder, storage, power equipment, cable allowance and labour. Also confirm remote access, VAT, travel, exclusions and warranty terms.

Which is better: IP, analogue or Wi-Fi?

The right fit depends on the property, existing equipment and budget. Wi-Fi is a connection option for IP cameras. Compare actual model features, recording and network requirements before choosing.

Can I view the cameras on my phone?

Compatible systems support remote viewing through an app or another supported method. Confirm internet requirements, account setup and any ongoing fees.

Do IP cameras need a recorder?

Recording requires suitable storage. Depending on the model, this may be an NVR, supported memory card or compatible service. Confirm the recording plan before installation.

Will every camera recognise faces or number plates?

No. These functions need selected equipment, suitable positioning and compatible software. Ask for the exact capability to be confirmed.

Can CCTV integrate with other security systems?

Compatible equipment may integrate with alarms or access control. However, the products and intended function must be checked before installation.

What should I send for an accurate quote?

Send your suburb, property type and photos of the areas to monitor. Mention existing cameras, internet access, recording needs and remote viewing requirements.
