How to Plan CCTV Installation for Business: A Complete Brisbane Commercial Security Guide

requires understanding your specific risks, knowing what you're legally allowed to record, choosing the right technology for your budget, and working with installers who actually understand commercial needs. Most importantly, you need a system that delivers measurable results—not just pretty cameras that give you a false sense of security.

Primary entry points to evaluate:

• . Where do employees handle cash? Where do customers slip and fall? Where would someone cause maximum damage if they wanted to hurt your business?

  Perfect for most business applications. You can identify faces clearly up to 15 meters, read license plates up to 10 meters.

• Only worth it for specific applications like large warehouse overviews. Storage expenses are 4x higher than 1080p.
