General guidance

How a business camera system is usually built

As general background, a networked business system often looks like this:

  • PoE IP cameras on labelled cable runs back to a PoE switch, which powers them.
  • A network video recorder (NVR) on the same switch records and serves the video.
  • One switch port goes to the internet router so the mobile app can reach the recorder. All other traffic stays on the local camera network.
  • Point-to-point wireless bridges extend the network to remote buildings and areas where cable isn't practical. Signal strength and throughput are checked during the install.
  • Recording schedules, motion regions and retention are set to suit how the business runs.
How a networked camera system fits together Three PoE IP cameras run on network cable to a PoE switch. The switch powers the cameras and connects them to a network video recorder that records and serves the video. One switch port connects to the internet router, so the owner can watch live and recorded video in a phone app. A point-to-point wireless bridge extends the same network to a camera on a detached building.

A good hand-over checklist

Whoever installs your system, these are worth checking before you sign off:

  • Every camera shows live video and records
  • The mobile app streams on both cellular data and Wi-Fi
  • Wireless bridge signal and throughput meet target
  • Recorder time is synced, so time stamps are correct
  • Default passwords are changed
  • A backup of the configuration is exported
  • Staff are trained on using the system

Where businesses usually start

  • Entrances and exits, with one camera framed tightly enough to identify faces
  • Registers, counters and safes
  • Parking lots, loading docks and dumpsters
  • Stock rooms, server closets and equipment yards
  • Detached buildings, garages and gated areas

See the placement guide and the camera types for more detail.
