Cameras are one of those things where money is most easily wasted. A cheap wifi camera from an e-shop drops off the network after six months, shows nothing at night and freezes in winter. Yet for sensible money you can put together a system that genuinely lasts for years.

This is a hub page for our articles on cameras. It helps you choose right before you buy, so you do not pay twice.

Before you buy

Before you order anything, go through why a camera system pays off at home too and what to consider for a home and business camera system. Decisions about placement, power and recording are made once and you live with them for years. And if you are wondering about the budget, see how much a camera system costs for a home and business.

Which cameras to choose

The biggest difference is between camera types and how they are powered. Start with the comparison of pro PoE and NVR vs cheap wifi vs solar.

Power and access

Professional cameras are powered and connected with a single cable via PoE: one cable for a camera and a WiFi point. Cameras often go hand in hand with access control, which we cover in an attendance and access system for a business.

When to leave it to us

You can buy a camera yourself, and this overview helps you choose well. But a proper system is about placement, cabling, recording and making sure it actually works at night and in winter. That is exactly what is worth leaving to someone who installs cameras regularly.
