A modern CCTV (video surveillance) installer designs, installs and secures camera systems using IP cameras, PoE, NVR/cloud storage and analytics, while balancing coverage, budget and legal/privacy requirements.
Surveillance installation has evolved from simple cameras to networked systems that require networking, cybersecurity, analytics, and privacy compliance. Modern installers need multidisciplinary skills to balance coverage with legal and technical responsibilities.
CCTV multiplexing moved from mechanical switch boxes to software-driven systems built into NVRs, cloud services, and cameras. Modern setups record multiple streams continuously, use analytics to flag events, and support secure remote viewing.
Modern home security cameras deter intruders, monitor caregivers and deliveries, and record incidents. Choose cameras with good night capability, secure storage, and strong device security; be mindful of legal and privacy limits on hidden or audio recording.
MicroSD cards remain a practical way to expand phone storage for photos, video, and offline media. Learn current formats, speed classes, device support, and when a card still makes sense.
