Common home camera points
Most homes start with gate, parking, main door, stairs, rooftop and selected common areas. Avoid private areas unless there is a clear and lawful reason.
Wired CCTV or WiFi camera
Wired CCTV is stronger for multiple cameras and long-term recording. WiFi cameras can be useful for a room, baby monitoring, elderly care, pets or temporary monitoring when signal is strong.
Mobile viewing
Most customers want mobile viewing. It requires correct recorder setup, internet connection, app installation and secure account handling. Keep passwords private and change default credentials.
Storage days
Home users should decide how many days of footage they need. Storage depends on camera count, resolution and hard disk size.
Future upgrade
Plan extra channels if you may add cameras later. A 4-channel system limits expansion; an 8-channel recorder can be useful when the home may add more points later.
