Selecting CCTV Cameras in Kenya for Home
Selecting the right CCTV cameras in Kenya ensures effective home surveillance. Consider these key factors before investing in your system:
1. Value Over Price
Cheap cameras often fail quickly. Invest in a reliable system from reputable brands—even entry-level HD or IP kits—that offers room to expand later.
2. Warranty Coverage
Opt for dealers who provide at least a three-year warranty. This protects your investment and ensures support in case of early failures. TopSec Technologies offers full backing and professional or DIY installation options.
3. Lens Size & Field of View
- Focal Length (mm): Each millimeter equals viewing distance in meters. A 4 mm lens sees clearly up to ~4 m.
- Wide-Angle Degrees: Wider angles cover more area but shorten focal range. Choose based on whether you need breadth (e.g., driveways) or depth (e.g., entryway zoom).
4. Storage Capacity
Start with a 1 TB DVR/NVR. Expand using additional drives or network-attached storage for larger archives—critical for continuous recording or high-resolution footage.
5. Camera Types: Analogue, HD, or IP
- Analogue: Cost-effective, basic resolution—sufficient for general monitoring.
- HD (High Definition): Higher clarity for identifying faces and number plates.
- IP (Internet Protocol): Superior resolution and digital zoom; integrates easily with broadband and mobile apps.
Consider future needs: IP cameras often provide the best long-term flexibility.
