Both IP and coaxial CCTV systems offer reliable security, but they serve different needs and budgets. If you're unsure which option is right for you, our CCTV installation services can help you choose the best solution.

• Coaxial (Analog) Cameras: Use traditional coax cable and connect to a DVR. Cost-effective and reliable for homes or small businesses.
• IP Cameras: Use network (Ethernet) cables and connect to an NVR. Higher resolution, advanced features like AI detection and remote analytics.

All modern CCTV systems support remote viewing. Access live footage and recordings from anywhere in the world.

• View cameras on smartphones, tablets, and computers

Remote access is included with all our CCTV installations across the Western Cape.

Recording time depends on cameras, resolution, and motion detection:

• 4 cameras at 1080p: ~30–45 days

• Higher resolutions or 24/7 recording may reduce storage time

Motion detection is configured to maximize recording duration without sacrificing coverage.

We calculate storage requirements during every professional CCTV installation to ensure optimal recording time.

Consider factors like indoor/outdoor placement, number of cameras, lighting conditions, internet availability, and your budget when choosing a system.
