CCTV Cameras and Installation, Meeting the Customers Needs
When people think about a CCTV system the first and sometimes the only thing that they think about is the cameras that they see. the CCTV cameras, yes are important, however they are not the sole consideration in designing a successful CCTV system. the types of cameras, the location of the cameras, how the cameras are displayed and recorded and even the type of cable utilized to transmit the video signal from the cameras must be brought into consideration.
A successful CCTV camera installation is only successful if it meets the needs of the client. these needs must be determined prior to the determination of the equipment required, the location of the equipment and the end use of the equipment. these factors can only be made clear by a meeting with a representative of the company providing the CCTV camera installation and the client who is purchasing the equipment. An initial meeting that determines client needs together with a subsequent meeting in which the solution to those needs should be made.
The client must make their needs known to the CCTV provider. these needs, which include problem areas that they want to, cover, what type of coverage that they need and their final budget for the project. while the provider may have a different concept for the project the needs of the client must be met. there may be options to a CCTV camera installation that the client is unaware of. these options should be brought out to the client and potentially the CCTV installation will be subject to further budget review.
Budgetary considerations can be accomplished by installing a less expensive camera package in some locations and more expensive equipment in others. the substitution of black and white cameras for color cameras often saves hundreds of dollars that can be utilized in other equipment. the provider can provide the client a drawing showing camera locations and areas of coverage on the facility. this drawing will allow the client to visualize the coverage and have no doubts as to the areas on the facility that will be covered by the CCTV camera system. this drawing can be provided to the client for presentation to management for final approval.
Meetings between client and provider provide open lines of communication between both parties. Many budget overruns are caused by incomplete communication between client and provider or misunderstanding between the two parties. when the final contract is signed between client and provider, both parties must have a clear understanding of what is to be supplied, what areas are to be covered and what the final budget is. the provider in meeting the clients needs with solutions to the problems and will insure that the client is happy and satisfied with the solutions presented to them.
