Know what you want to see.
Knowing exactly what you want to see in the monitor and on recordings – both the scene and the quality – is the single best way you can prepare for a purchase. -
Avoid dummy cameras.
While they may deter some problems, they also can create a legal liability by creating an expectationof safety when none exists -
Put up signs.
Highly visible signage that lets customers and employees know that they are being filmed can greatly increase the deterrent effect.

Buy for the right reasons.
Using a high-tech solution to solve a low-tech problem can result in wasted money and effort. If you have vandalism problems in a parking lot, adding lights can be a far cheaper and more effective solution than installing cameras.
