CCTV for Commercial Sites: How to Choose Cameras, Coverage and Storage (Radstock, Bath & Bristol)

CCTV is most effective when it’s designed around your risks and your site layout—not just camera count. Here’s how commercial sites in Radstock, Bath and Bristol can choose the right CCTV setup.

Start with the purpose

• Deterrence: visible coverage and signage.

• Detection: wide views for movement and incidents.

• Identification: high-resolution views at entrances and key points.

Coverage planning tips

• Map entrances, loading bays, car parks and high-value areas.

• Avoid glare and backlighting—use WDR where needed.

• Consider lighting and night performance (IR vs white light).

Storage and access

Choose retention based on your needs and any compliance requirements. Decide between on‑site NVR/DVR, cloud storage, or a hybrid approach. Ensure secure remote access and user permissions.
