Mistake #9: Not setting up alerts
You can receive notifications when motion or sound is detected on a security camera. To edit the notifications associated with a camera, you must edit the modes.
Mistake #8: Not using enough cameras
Make sure you have enough cameras to scope out the different areas. Also, you could limit yourself to only four cameras in your house. However, you should invest more to cover all the area. This is in the case of the inventory of your business.
Mistake #7: To expect every camera to read everything from any distance
You need to ask yourself the purpose of the security cameras. Cameras work best if you change the settings to your advantage.
Mistake #6: Blocking your IR LED lights
IR LEDs can remain invisible to the naked eye! You need them for your security cameras to work where there is not much light.
Mistake #5: Forgetting to waterproof your connections
The weather is an important factor. Humidity and rain are no good for your connections.
Mistake #4: Not being concerned about the security of the network itself
It is a possibility that a hacker could enter if you are not careful. You need to secure your recorded footage. So, it’s so important to use a safe password!
Mistake #3: To hide every security camera
Sometimes hidden cameras are necessary to catch someone. However, as a security tool, cameras should be obvious.
