How to create a CCTV and security network

Wherever you're installing your security system, you'll need to start by creating a network. This will centralise everything, making it easier to manage and enabling you to store camera footage and other information in a single location.

In most cases, the size of the network will depend on the situation and it may be possible to utilise an existing system. If not, then a rack server, blade server or disk array could all be appropriate options for a large set-up. Meanwhile, smaller applications could simply require a something a bit less powerful - like a small network attached storage drive or tower server.

The next step will be to select the right cameras and here at Ebuyer.com we've got plenty of options for you to choose from - with just some features including black and white pictures, colour images and zoom functions.

Many cameras can be attached to the network wirelessly, making installation easier, or for the best security, a wired connection might be a more appropriate choice. Covert options like cameras hidden in pens or fake fire sprinklers are available too.

We also offer other security solutions that could prove useful, such as alarms, baby monitors, door entry systems, intercoms, face recognition devices and accessories like power supplies, adapters and even counterfeit note checkers.
