Q: How many cameras are required to protect a facility?
A: The amount of cameras that are needed to protect a facility is solely based on the security needs, and vulnerabilities, of the specific client’s facility. When you work with ROS Electric, we’ll first conduct a site survey of the facility to ascertain and determine the client’s site specifics requirements. Then, we will design a system to best secure the facility for years to come.
Q: Are pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) cameras better than fixed cameras?
A: No, a PTZ is an application-specific camera that tracks movement whereas a fixed lens camera takes detailed shots. While each camera has a specific purpose, we use our site survey and design to recommend the type of application-specific cameras needed to properly secure the facility.
Q: What do I need for a complete CCTV system in New Jersey?
A: In New Jersey, a properly installed CCTV, also known as a security surveillance system, starts with a security plan. You will first need to identify the vulnerable areas in and around your facility and prioritize them. Then, ROS Electric will conduct a site survey of your property to help determine this first step.
Next, ROS will design a security surveillance system to meet the security concerns and needs established in the security plan. It needs to work with the wiring infrastructure of the said facility and make sure it won’t break the budget.
Once the system has been installed the last, and most vital step is the commissioning of the new security surveillance system. ROS will work with your security team to position and focus all cameras, establish rights, and perform onboarding training for all security personnel. This way they can best leverage the benefits of their newly installed CCTV system for years to come.
