FAQ

How far apart should security cameras be placed?

Standard HD cameras cover 30-40 feet effectively for identification-quality footage. Wide-angle cameras can cover up to 60 feet for detection. PTZ cameras cover much larger areas but require active monitoring.

Do I need cameras indoors and outdoors?

Most commercial facilities need both. Outdoor cameras cover perimeter, parking, and entry points. Indoor cameras cover lobbies, hallways, server rooms, and high-value areas.
