Estimation of work on installation of video cameras in UAE
- Exact Dimensions: The length and width of each area inside the store, including aisles, checkout areas, bakery, and storage areas. Ceiling height is also critical as it affects the camera's field of view.
- Layout Details: Information about any potential obstructions such as columns, high shelves or display stands that may block the cameras' view.
- Camera Specifications: Details of the video cameras being considered for use, including:
- Field of View (FoV): The angle of view that the camera can capture (e.g. 90 degrees, 120 degrees).
- Permission:
- The clarity of a camera's image, which affects how much detail can be seen and how far away the camera can effectively monitor.
- Low Light Performance:
- Some areas may have lower lighting conditions and therefore may require cameras with better low light performance.
- Desired Coverage: Clarify what the client wishes to monitor (point of sale, theft prevention, facial recognition, etc.) as this will impact the required camera resolution and placement.
- Existing Infrastructure: Information about the existing network infrastructure to support the cameras, such as network points and power supplies, which may limit where cameras can be placed.
- Security Goals: Understanding the client's specific security concerns or any previous incidents that may impact camera placement.
- Compliance with Regulation: Any legal or insurance requirements that may dictate the number or type of cameras, or specific areas that must be monitored.
- Budget: The client's budget can significantly influence the choice of cameras and therefore the number that can be installed.
- Integration with Other Systems: If the cameras need to be integrated with other security systems such as alarms, access control systems, or if they require any specific features such as motion detection, audio recording, etc.
Once we have this information, we can use it to create a detailed and accurate camera placement plan that maximizes coverage and meets the client's needs and budget.
We use specialized design software and a professional security systems designer to help create the most effective layout.
