Step 1 — How many cameras do you need?
Not sure? Our site assessment will recommend the right number. Most small retail sites need 4–6 cameras; medium sites 8–12.
Step 2 — Where are the cameras going?
Outdoor cameras require IP66-rated weatherproof housing — adds approx. 15% to hardware cost.
Step 3 — How many floors / levels?
More floors = longer cable runs and more installation time.
