Design starts with a comprehensive evaluation of the surveillance area, taking into account critical points of interest, potential vulnerabilities, and environmental variables such as lighting conditions. Factors such as camera angles, lens types, and integration with other security systems are considered when designing.

Cameras should be strategically positioned to effectively monitor critical entry points, high-traffic areas, and vulnerable spots both indoors and outdoors. Weatherproof outdoor cameras are essential to withstand environmental elements, while motion-activated cameras can be judiciously deployed to conserve resources and focus on areas of activity. Continuous monitoring and periodic adjustments to camera placement facilitate the adaptation to evolving security needs and ensure sustained effectiveness in surveillance coverage.

CCTV recorder placement is crucial for efficient surveillance system operation. Ideally, installed in a secure and accessible location with adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Mounting the recorder in a locked cabinet or enclosure enhances security and protects it from tampering or unauthorized access. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the recorder's status ensure uninterrupted operation and reliable footage storage.
