What to Consider When Setting Up CCTV for Your Business

Installing CCTV for your business isn’t just about cameras, it’s about choosing a system that protects your people, property, and provides peace of mind.

From reliability and accuracy to data security and ease of use, there are key things to consider before investing in a surveillance system. Here’s what to look for and how UniFi Protect delivers on every front.

Not all CCTV systems are equal. Traditional setups often record every bit of movement, a person, a vehicle, or even a hungry fox at 2am this fills up storage and creates unnecessary alerts.

When choosing CCTV, look for intelligent detection powered by AI.

UniFi Protect AI devices go further by including:

  • Face recognition – identify authorised personnel and know exactly who is on site

  • Enhanced motion detection – filter out irrelevant triggers
