Coverage before quantity
The useful camera count depends on what must be identified or monitored: entrances, driveways, perimeter lines, parking areas, reception points, stock rooms or higher-risk zones.
Recorder and network capacity
A camera plan should include recorder channels, hard-drive capacity, cable routes, power, network condition and remote-viewing requirements.
