In today’s world, security is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether it's your home, office, or shop, installing the right CCTV camera can give you peace of mind and protect what matters most. But with so many types of security cameras in the market, how do you know which one is right for you?
At Apnacam, we believe in making security simple. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the perfect CCTV camera for your property.
1. Understand Your Security Needs
Start by asking yourself:
Do you need indoor or outdoor coverage?
Are you monitoring a wide area or a specific spot?
Do you want live viewing, recorded footage, or both?
Your answers will guide the type of camera you need—dome cameras for wide indoor coverage, bullet cameras for long-range outdoor surveillance, or PTZ cameras for full control and rotation.
2. Check the Resolution
The higher the resolution, the clearer the image.
720p is basic quality.
1080p (Full HD) is standard for most users.
4K Ultra HD offers top clarity for large areas or high-detail monitoring.
At Apnacam, we offer everything from HD to 4K resolution cameras, ensuring you never miss a detail.
3. Night Vision Capability
Criminals don’t take the night off—your camera shouldn’t either.
Look for IR (Infrared) night vision or ColorVu (color night vision) technology to ensure 24/7 monitoring, even in total darkness.
4. Wired vs. Wireless
Wired cameras offer stable and uninterrupted recording, ideal for permanent installations.
Wireless cameras are easier to install and great for rental properties or temporary setups.
Apnacam has both options, so you can pick what suits your setup best.
5. Storage Options
Do you want local storage (via SD card or DVR) or cloud storage for remote access?
Local storage is secure and doesn’t depend on the internet.
Cloud storage offers flexibility and backup even if the camera is damaged or stolen.
Apnacam provides both options with encrypted security to keep your data safe.
6. Weather Resistance for Outdoor Cameras
If you're installing cameras outdoors, they must be tough.
Check for IP66 or IP67 ratings to ensure your camera can withstand rain, dust, and extreme temperatures.
Our Apnacam outdoor models are weather-tested to handle all kinds of Indian weather.
7. Smart Features
Modern CCTV cameras can do more than just record. Look for:
Motion detection
Mobile app alerts
Two-way audio
Facial recognition
Integration with Alexa or Google Home
