One of the most common questions that people ask when purchasing a new CCTV system is ‘What is the best brand of CCTV camera?’ There are lots of different CCTV camera manufacturers making CCTV cameras at the moment. From tried and tested brands that you may have a good awareness of to more recent brands that you may be completely unaware of, it can be a little bit overwhelming when trying to choose.
However, before trying to ascertain the best brand of CCTV camera, it’s best to try and work out what type of CCTV camera is best for you needs. There’s no point buying a brand of CCTV camera if its type is completely unsuitable for what you need it for. Therefore, narrow your choice down by deciding whether you want IP, analogue, HD or PTZ cameras. It’s only then you should be looking at brands.
The best advice is to take advice from a qualified CCTV engineer. They work with all brands and will be able to tell you what brands are worth looking at in their opinion. Then, armed with this knowledge you can go on and buy with confidence.
