When you are looking for a camera for a store, it is important to first think about the purpose that the store camera should serve. For example, this store camera should have more of a deterrent effect or, on the contrary, should not be placed visibly. There are also both wireless and wired store cameras for sale, both of which have advantages and disadvantages. We have gone through several points below to arrive at a good choice when it comes to a store camera.
Wired or wireless store camera:
Although the wireless store cameras have a large installation advantage, wireless surveillance cameras have some disadvantages in practice. For example, some wireless store cameras interfere with any WIFI network and the distance between the receiver and store camera is limited and in practice only about 10 meters maximum. We only advise customers for a wireless camera for in-store if it concerns a maximum of 1 or 2 cameras and the risk that the wireless signal will be disturbed in the event of a burglary is acceptable. In all other cases, it is always advisable to purchase a wired surveillance camera (set) for the store.
IP or analog store camera:
Although IP cameras can often work completely independently, it is only advisable to choose IP cameras if only 1 store camera is required, or if all images must be in HD quality and budget is a lesser problem. There are HD security cameras that can record in Full HD images, but these sets are expensive. For a store camera, most customers opt for an analog CCTV camera system that consists of 1 to 16 cameras and a digital video recorder. The latest generation of digital video recorders can also be connected to the router with a network cable so that the images can be viewed from another location on a computer or smartphone such as iPhone.
Shop camera purchase:
Before you buy a store camera, it is advisable by a specialist to request information and possibly to take a drawing of the store or photos. On the basis of this information and wishes such as live viewing of the images or recording duration, good advice regarding cameras for in-store can be given.
