A Bad Setup
Unfortunately, most businesses only discover problems with their security cameras after it’s too late. Someone breaks in after hours, and when they look at the recorded footage, they find their view obstructed or realize there is no camera where they need it most. Cameras installed in the wrong areas or insufficient cameras to cover the entire area are two common issues in cheaper setups. This unfortunate situation means that a criminal may go unidentified.
Unless you or your provider have extensive experience installing security cameras, it’s easy to make these kinds of mistakes. Our certified technicians know the requirements for different types and sizes of businesses. This includes how many cameras are needed to cover all areas, the types of cameras best suited for the job, and the areas most likely to be targeted.
Difficult to Use
Like all technology, if your cameras prove challenging to use, they’ll end up ignored and ultimately forgotten. Some common problems include cameras that stop recording, being unable to view recordings remotely, and the video having no color or being fuzzy in appearance.
The best solution for difficult-to-use technology is to work with someone that knows the ropes and can be there for you to troubleshoot any issues that arise. At D-Tronics Home & Business, we have 20 years of practice and thousands of installations under our belt. If there’s a problem, we’ll know the solution. Enabling remote access is one of the most critical features, and should be immediately addressed if there’s a problem.
Low-Quality Products
As the demand for commercial surveillance cameras grew, so did the companies manufacturing them. Some sell cameras for the lowest price to earn the highest profit. This usually translates to low-quality products that can’t do the job they’re meant to do efficiently or fully.
Some of the biggest issues you’ll find in these instances is poor image quality. Cheaper providers may also use non-commercial-grade cameras that don’t have the features to secure a business setting. These features may include infrared lighting for night vision, high resolution for clear images, motion detection, and cloud-based access.
The solution is to work with a provider that only partners with well-trusted brands that offer reliable, high-quality products. One of our trusted brands at D-Tronics Home & Business is IC Realtime. This company provides security cameras for all businesses and industries, ensuring the best solution for your specific needs.
