At IDS, we often see commercial clients who do not have a properly designed electronic security system and are not future-proofed, which is important, especially when it comes to CCTV.
 
We see a lot of companies adding on to systems instead of upgrading where clients can create more operations efficiencies i.e., manage multi-sites off one platform that saves a lot more in the long run compared to the initial capital investment.
 
We see incorrect camera types being installed i.e., a camera does not have infrared for night vision, the wrong lens type for people identification, and the wrong angles/positions not capturing what is needed.
 
We also see Insufficient storage for retention times and not enough camera channels for future system growth.
 
**What we recommend**
 
Talk to a certified installer, they should know what types of cameras are best suited for different areas, lenses etc to facilitate desired client outcomes.
 
Remember CCTV should be designed around your individual business’s outcomes and not a one-size-fits-all!  
 
The right Video Management Software (VMS), with the right analytical camera or forensic software, should be selected to manage the video outputs e.g., it can scan hours of footage to find a person in a red jumper instead of spending hours doing it manually.
