A camera system is more than picking a camera.
Useful video security depends on what needs to be seen, where cameras can be mounted, lighting, field of view, recording retention, network capacity and how the owner needs to review footage afterward.
Camera Selection
Choose cameras around the scene and purpose rather than assuming one model belongs everywhere.
Placement
Entrances, transaction areas, parking, inventory and perimeter spaces each have different coverage goals.
Recording
Local recorder and storage sizing based on camera count, quality settings and desired retention.
Remote Access
Authorized owners and managers can review live and recorded video without sitting at the business.
No mandatory cloud-storage subscription for ordinary recording.
With a properly designed Protect system, recordings stay on local UniFi recording hardware. That changes the economics compared with camera systems whose normal operation depends on paying for cloud video storage every month.
COD sizes the recorder, storage and network as part of the project. We can also integrate the cameras with the same UniFi environment used for switching and Wi-Fi, simplifying ongoing management.
