Surveillance System and Security Camera FAQs
Which Security Cameras and Surveillance Systems Are Best for Businesses?
Just like alarms and security systems, acquiring the best surveillance camera system for your business starts with the all-important first step of professional installation. Popular wireless camera systems for home use offer easy DIY installation, but they also present big drawbacks (see “Are Low-Cost, Wi-Fi Based IP Camera Systems Like Arlo, Nest & Ring Good Options?“).
Even though IP and Wi-Fi based cameras have come a long way, wired camera systems are still the most reliable choice. The most effective surveillance systems are typically installed by trained experts who are familiar with the best equipment and proven installation techniques.
Are Low Cost, Wi-Fi Based IP Camera Systems Like Arlo, Nest & Ring Good Options?
Most of the latest residential security cameras, like Arlo, Nest, and Ring camera systems, depend on Wi-Fi to transmit video for live feeds or recordings. These cameras also require a consistent internet connection for alarm notifications to work properly. In other words, the success of surveillance systems like Arlo, Nest, Ring, and other wireless security cameras absolutely relies on dependable Wi-Fi. If the internet connection goes down at your location, the camera system cannot do its full job until connectivity is restored.
Another important consideration with wireless security cameras is how each camera is powered. The trade-off of an easy, 100% wireless installation is that these cameras are battery-powered. It’s important to let that sink in, especially if you’re choosing a surveillance system for a small business or larger commercial application. With wireless cameras, you or an employee will routinely have to remove every single camera from its mount, connect each camera to a charger, wait for the charge, and then reinstall each camera. During this time, of course, your security cameras will be offline.
Home Security Camera Systems vs. Commercial Cameras for a Business Setting
For the reasons discussed above, NacSpace does not typically recommend wireless security cameras for business applications. Even for homeowners, a professionally installed and monitored surveillance system can be cost-effective and preferable.
The story is not all bad with Wi-Fi security cameras, including Arlo, Nest, Ring, and others. Some of the more advanced options come admirably close to pro-level quality, with certain models offering 4K resolution, a wide viewing angle, and good low-light performance. However, their dependence on Wi-Fi and battery power is often a deal breaker for business owners.
Yet another hidden cost with popular home cameras comes with the storage of the actual video footage. Some products do not offer any video recording at all, unless a subscription is purchased. While certain residential surveillance systems allow physical, on-site storage of video data, the trend is to offer subscription-based cloud storage. The drawbacks of paid storage include the perpetual cost, storage space can be limited to a number of days of video history (depending on the subscription tier), and (again) the requirement of an internet connection to transmit the video data to the cloud.
The gold standard set by commercial security systems is the following:
- The surveillance video recording includes notations or bookmarks for motion or other activity.
- The captured video is immediately stored securely on a spacious, media-grade hard drive.
- The video is preferably uploaded to a private cloud or server as a password-protected backup.
- Live and recorded video can be viewed remotely from anywhere.
- The entire system is actively monitored by professionals who can notify local authorities for the fastest possible response time.
