How to create a video surveillance system for a store

Video surveillance is no longer a luxury, but a necessity in our life. Installing a video surveillance system in the store will help reduce theft, as well as effectively monitor the work of staff and generally increase security in the store. Let's see what equipment is included in the video surveillance system and how much it will cost to install 4 cameras in the store.

You will need

Video recorder, hard drive, monitor, video surveillance cameras, power supply, cable, connectors.

Instruction manual

1

The DVR is the heart of your video surveillance system. It will capture information from cameras and record it on the hard drive. For four cameras, a 4-channel video recorder with an H.264 compression format and 25 frames per channel is enough, with the possibility of remote access and monitoring in real time, with the function of a motion detector and archiving to external media. Such a registrar will cost about 4000 rubles. Plus a 500 Gb hard drive - about 2500 thousand.

For the store, it is optimal to put 3 cameras and one camera on the street in front of the entrance. I advise you to choose dome cameras with a resolution of at least 600 TVL and a sensitivity threshold of 0.1 Lux. These cameras will cost from 2000 to 3000 apiece. For the street you should buy an All-weather camera in an anti-vandal case, with a resolution of 700 TVL and IR illumination of at least 20 meters. The price of such a camera is from 2500 to 4000 thousand.

A 2 amp power supply in a dustproof housing will be enough for 4 cameras. Its price is within 300 rubles. Connectors (universal "mother", universal "father" and RG-54 for a screwdriver) in the amount of 12 pieces will cost about 300 rubles. The cable should be selected for the street - RG-59 (twisted pair and power cable in one black case, flexible), and for rooms - 3C2V (twisted pair and power cable in one white case). The price of a street cable per meter is about 20 rubles, of an internal cable - 16 rubles.

The cost of commissioning and installation work, depending on the length of the cable, can range from 5 thousand to 15 thousand. Thus, a complete set of video surveillance with its installation will cost you from 15 000 to 30 000 rubles. Agree, not so much money for your safety. And if thefts were previously noticed, then the video surveillance system will quickly pay for itself.

note

Pay attention to camcorders NOVICAM, RVI, KMS. I do not recommend contacting little-known Chinese brands.

Useful advice

Although it seems that connecting the cameras to the recorders and setting up the system is easy, I advise you to trust the professionals. Moreover, when installing the company you are given a guarantee not only for equipment, but also for system maintenance
