CCTV Buying Guide for Homes
Feb 2026 6 min
Most homes are over-cameraed and under-monitored
16 cameras is rarely better than 8 well-placed ones. Cover entries, perimeter and high-value rooms — skip the rest.
Resolution that's enough
4MP is the sweet spot. 8MP for licence-plate reading at the gate. Anything higher mostly wastes storage.
Cloud + NVR is non-negotiable
Local NVR for redundancy, cloud (encrypted, India-hosted) for tamper protection. Anything less is incomplete.
