When people think about a CCTV system the first and sometimes the only thing that they think about is the cameras that they see. The CCTV cameras, yes are important, however they are not the sole consideration in designing a successful CCTV system. The types of cameras, the location of the cameras, how the cameras are displayed and recorded and even the type of cable utilized to transmit the video signal from the cameras must be brought into consideration.

The only way for the CCTV camera provider to supply solutions to the clients’ needs is a series of meetings with the client. These meetings range from the initial meeting where the client expresses their needs for CCTV coverage to a final meeting where both parties sign a contract. This final contract will define what coverage is being provided to the client. During this series of meetings, the provider can provide information about capabilities of CCTV systems to the client that the client may have been unaware of. The main thing that the CCTV provider must do is insure that the system that they are proposing meets the client needs.

Only the client knows precisely what their needs are. These needs must be expressed to the CCTV camera provider to enable the provider the information necessary to meet the needs. The client must define what areas must be covered, what areas they would like to cover and which areas should not be covered. The provider of the CCTV camera system may in the meetings make proposals for equipment that may or may not fit into the budget of the client. Should the equipment be over budget, then additional budgetary meetings by the client must be held.

The provider should not recommend one type of camera for every purpose. Cameras can be of varying resolutions, and either color or black and white. A camera that is strictly used for the surveillance of a particular area could well be a black and white camera with a fixed lens. Another location that required the identity of customers or clerks might necessitate the utilization of a color camera and a lens with an auto iris. When the provider of the CCTV camera system makes his presentation to the client the provider should provide a drawing of the property that the cameras are to be installed at with the cameras and their field of view marked on the drawing. This drawing provides the client visual knowledge of what areas are being covered and any changes can be made prior to installation of the system. The drawing can be provided to the client so that the client can present the drawings to their management for final approval.

Meetings with the between the client and the CCTV camera installation provider will provide the problems faced by the client and the solutions proposed by the CCTV camera provider. At the end of the meetings, both the client and the provider will know exactly what is to be provided and the coverage of the areas that the client perceives as problem areas. When the installation is complete, both the client and the provider will be satisfied with the finished product.
