Covert Security Camera Installation

Gold Coast covert security camera installation tips. 1. Use a licensed cabler. 2. Use a person permitted to do electrical work (restricted electrical, or electrician) where hard wiring power. 3. Be discreet. 4. Select good quality equipment for all circumstances (including low light). 5. Record off site. 6. Choose a random service you are comfortable with, not co-located with your business. 7. Use a layered system; one supplier for outside cameras, one supplier for inside cameras. Also consider some covert stand alone cameras as an extra layer.

Always consider a layered system, for a residence, with one set of cameras in the yard (such as stand alone game trail cameras), a network of external wall cameras where each covers anyone approaching the next one, and if a business, covert camera's at least covering cash handling areas. For home security consider having some camera's, not tied to the internet, but with an SD card, that will report direct to you phone, to alert you to someone approaching your premises. That way it will perform if the internet is down, if electricity is off, etc. They are more expensive but the better ones are solar powered, and move to focus on movement, and can identify humans, day or night. Set one up high on a pole, near the entrance.

For business security cameras facing into the entrance from outside, as well as cameras face out, covering the same area, from inside, plus height markers as a reference (you will see them in some premise at the door). This assists in identification.

The most tedious, time consuming, part of the process, once the covert security camera installation is done, is reviewing the recordings. Once the evidence is established, you can consider a criminal action, for an employee, or civil action if a partner (and they may claim a 'right'); talk to your solicitor to establish the best way forward.

As a private investigation service we do review recordings, and conduct interviews (there are times when the business may choose to address the issue themselves, with our assistance). We hope these tips help you.
