How many security cameras do I need?
How many cameras you need depends on the space, the crowds and the extent to which security and surveillance apply. In a shop, security around the cash register and the entrance will be the most important. Within the hospitality industry you prefer to supervise general areas and the reception. The larger a room, the more cameras you need. In addition, the situation also plays an important role. If you want detailed recordings, then this is easier to achieve with a smaller viewing angle. This means that you do need several cameras to monitor the same space. The advice is to place a camera at least at the entrance (also for the private home). You also pay attention to where the cash flows take place. Two additional cameras for general surveillance are suitable for the smaller space. If you want to monitor a large room or several rooms, you need at least 4 to
16 cameras .
