Why security cameras matter

The mere presence of cameras is often a powerful deterrent, making potential criminals think twice if they know their actions are being recorded. But security cameras do more than just scare away intruders:

Deterrence: A camera in clear sight can make prospective offenders reconsider, signalling that your premises are not an easy target.
Enhanced monitoring: In a busy business or a large residential complex, keeping an eye on daily activities can be tricky. Security cameras let you observe everything – from deliveries and visitor arrivals to employee conduct and resident safety – remotely.
Collecting evidence: When incidents happen, the high-definition footage captured by our security cameras can be invaluable in identifying people, understanding what happened, and supporting insurance claims.
Compliance with local laws: In New Zealand, the use of security cameras is subject to privacy and legal standards. CCTV Solutions ensures all installations align with these regulations, giving you peace of mind that your system is both effective and compliant.

Our range of security cameras

‍

At CCTV Solutions, we pride ourselves on offering a range of security cameras that cover every security need. Our camera range falls into two main categories: Wi-Fi security cameras and wired security camera solutions. Each type has its own strengths, which you can read about below:

‍

Wi-Fi security cameras

One of our most popular and versatile options, Wi-Fi security cameras deliver flexibility. Easily scalable, they are perfect for organisations and residential properties needing to change the level of coverage rapidly, or for any areas where traditional cabling might be difficult or costly. Here are the main benefits:

Ease of installation: Wi-Fi cameras require minimal cabling, simplifying installation. This is a huge benefit in settings like older office buildings or sprawling residential complexes where installing extensive wiring would be a time-consuming prospect.
Remote access: With Wi-Fi connectivity, you can access live feeds and recorded footage from anywhere on your mobile device or computer. This is especially useful for property managers or business owners who need to check in on multiple sites.

‍

Ideal for:

Scalable business environments like retail stores or small offices.
Areas without existing cabling, such as newly developed residential complexes.

‍

Wired security cameras

For those seeking the ultimate in reliability and performance, a wired security camera system is still the gold standard. These cameras are directly connected to a central recorder or network, allowing for stable data transfer and often higher video quality.

Reliability: The direct connection virtually eliminates the risk of signal loss or interference, which can sometimes be a concern with wireless cameras – particularly in areas with congested Wi-Fi signals.
High resolution: Wired cameras often support higher resolutions and deliver crystal-clear footage, so you can be sure your footage will be useful.

Ideal for:

High-traffic commercial areas like warehouses or office complexes.
Large residential buildings with permanent surveillance needs.

‍

Custom solutions for businesses

At CCTV Solutions, we’re committed to providing security cameras that align with your business’s specific needs. We begin each project with a thorough assessment of your premises, considering the building layout, the typical flow of people, and your unique security challenges. We can design tailored systems for any scenario, including:

Retail spaces: Retailers face a variety of security challenges, from shoplifting to employee safety. Our systems can be customised to provide coverage across store entrances, checkouts, and aisles—keeping your merchandise secure and your staff protected.
Warehouses and offices: Large industrial spaces and office complexes often have blind spots and multiple entry points. We strategically position our camera systems to minimise these blind spots, keeping valuable stock, sensitive documents, and employees safe.

Public-facing environments: Businesses that primarily serve customers or visitors face-to-face need well-placed cameras in lobbies, waiting areas, and reception desks. Not only do these security systems help deter unruly behaviour, they also protect staff and ensure a welcoming, safe environment for all.
AI analytics: For businesses that want to stay one step ahead, we offer AI-powered analytics. These systems automatically detect suspicious activities or unusual movements, send instant alerts to your mobile device, and provide valuable insights into foot traffic patterns.
‍Cloud storage and integration: Our systems integrate seamlessly with cloud platforms, making it easy to store, retrieve, and review footage.

Night vision security cameras

Under the shroud of darkness is a pretty obvious time for underhand activity to occur. So do you still have CCTV protection when you need it most?

Video surveillance systems with night vision almost come as standard. Though the level of night vision video quality does vary.

We can recommend which CCTV camera is best for night vision based on your home or business space - lighting, blindspots, traffic footfall and high risk zones are all taken into consideration.

Security for large residential complexes

‍
Residential complexes often face unique challenges, such as securing shared spaces and ensuring resident safety. We offer tailored security camera solutions:

Securing common areas: Lobbies, shared lounges, mailrooms, and communal entertainment areas all see a lot of traffic, and the mere presence of security cameras can discourage unwanted activity and keep residents feeling secure.
Protecting car parks: One of the most common requests we receive from property managers involves securing car parks. By installing a wired security camera system with night vision, you can reduce car theft and vandalism, adding another layer of protection for residents.
Monitoring access: Residential complexes often have multiple entrances and exits. With comprehensive coverage integrated with an access control system, you’ll have a clear record of everyone entering or leaving the property.
Providing peace of mind: Knowing there’s a reliable camera system in place helps residents feel safer, which can enhance the property’s overall satisfaction levels. If an incident does occur, having high-definition recordings can make all the difference when liaising with authorities or resolving disputes.

frequently asked questions

Do security cameras deter thieves?

Studies of convicted burglars show that for both home thieves and car thieves, the biggest deterrent was CCTV cameras. Based on evidence from multiple studies, they estimated that for every 100 crimes, 16 were prevented with CCTV. Whether CCTV security cameras are a deterrent to crime or not, they certainly record evidence of criminal activity which can then be used in arrest and prosecution.

How long does footage stay on a security camera?

Most security camera footage is stored for 30 to 90 days. Banks keep security camera footage for up to six months to comply with industry regulatory requirements.

Is PoE CCTV better?

Power over Ethernet (PoE) CCTV cameras are a wired CCTV source, rather than transmitting data via Wifi. Technically they do provide better clarity of CCTV video because they’re not reliant on internet speed. But they do have limitations - wired internet can only go where you can wire it to - CCTV wifi cameras can be placed anywhere on the grounds of the property within coverage of the wifi network.
