Security Camera Planning Starts With Coverage
Camera placement should reflect the areas the organization needs to monitor and the type of information users expect to obtain from recorded or live video.
Important considerations can include:
Parking and exterior areas
Interior business areas
Areas containing important equipment or assets
The building layout, lighting, viewing distance, recording requirements, and available infrastructure can all affect the final design.
New Camera System Installation
Computer Ties can help plan and install new commercial camera systems for organizations that do not currently have appropriate video coverage.
The project may include camera placement, recording requirements, network considerations, viewing access, documentation, and coordination with other trades where needed.
Viewing & Recording
A commercial camera system should provide practical access to the video the organization needs without creating unnecessary complexity.
Computer Ties can help establish supported viewing and recording arrangements appropriate to the environment.
Camera services do not include third-party monitoring or guarantees that video will prevent theft, damage, or other incidents.
Camera Systems for Existing Facilities
Organizations do not necessarily need a new building to benefit from improved camera coverage.
Existing facilities can be reviewed to determine whether new cameras, replacements, repositioning, upgraded recording, or other changes would improve the system.
Cameras on the Business Network
Security cameras and recorders connect to the organization’s network, so they should be configured and maintained with the same care as other networked devices.
Computer Ties can help place camera equipment on an appropriate part of the network, set up user access to video, and plan secure remote viewing, so the camera system supports physical security without creating new cybersecurity risk.
Equipment Selection and NDAA Section 889
Organizations that receive federal funding or work on federal contracts may need to consider NDAA Section 889 when choosing camera, recording, and related network equipment.
Computer Ties can help review equipment options with those requirements in mind before a camera project is purchased or installed. The organization remains responsible for confirming which requirements apply to its funding or contracts.
