If you need your CCTV cameras to pick up faces and number plates, you will need a higher resolution CCTV camera and and the correct lens size for the covered distance.

Reasons to Have CCTV
1. Reduce cost and risk
CCTV security systems prove to be amazing investments from the day they are installed. Full view of your premises, real-time recording and remote online monitoring lower your risks and prevent costly incidents such as burglary, fire and vandalism.
2. Prevent and deter crime
Criminals target buildings that lack some form of monitoring. The very presence of CCTV cameras is enough to deter potential criminals. With surveillance access, employees can also take the necessary action to reduce crime risk and address criminal activity quickly and efficiently.
3. Fool-proof coverage
A well-designed CCTV infrastructure is practically impenetrable and can provide 100% coverage of your location. Multiple cameras reduce blind spots while keeping a reliable eye on the most vulnerable areas of the property. Also, the risk of human error, such as guards being pre-occupied with other things, is practically eliminated with a full-coverage surveillance system.
4. Reduce property insurance premiums
Some insurance companies offer discounts (and sometimes big ones) on premiums if you have a functioning CCTV system in place.
5. Increase customer confidence
Banks and shops equipped with CCTV cameras provide customers with a sense of security and safety, which ultimately enhances consumer confidence and trust in your business.
6. Easy implementation
Modern CCTV Surveillance Systems are easily installed and implemented – just plug-and-play! If you have an existing security system in place, you can simply integrate CCTV without having to get a new security system.
7. Keep your employees honest
CCTV cameras on the outside prevent break-ins by outsiders, but by having them installed inside your business you can monitor product, assets and vulnerable areas of your facility. Ultimately, having a CCTV system in place can discourage poor behavior by employees. Even if something happens, the records can prevent false accusations and trust issues among staff.
8. Discourage theft by customers
A CCTV system is great for discouraging customers from stealing or performing other unlawful activities.
9. Prevent safety incidents
In order to reduce any potential dangers to your personnel, it’s crucial to install CCTV cameras in high-risk areas (like where fires can break out). Properly selected cameras can prevent potential damage because emergency measures can be taken immediately with careful monitoring.
10. Assist law enforcement
By having CCTV recordings of a crime, law enforcement agencies can use the footage and release photos/videos of the culprits to the public. Having records of the suspect can make a huge difference when it comes to making an arrest and getting dangerous criminals off the street.
