Survey and placement plan
A walk at the hour that matters, marking entries, counters, stock areas and the zones that must stay outside the frame.

CCTV solutions planned around your Chandrapur premises
Camera placement, lighting, storage days and viewing access decided before a single unit is bought. Installed cleanly, set up around your site connection, and handed over with drawings.

Overview
Useful footage is designed, not bought
Two sites can install the same camera and get completely different results. What separates them is placement, what sits in front of the lens, and how long the recording is kept.
A camera at head height facing a bright shop entrance records silhouettes. One placed to catch a face under the shutter light, on the angle a person actually walks, records something someone can act on. That difference is settled during the survey, long before anything is purchased or mounted.
Storage and access decide the rest. The number of days kept depends on camera count, resolution and whether recording runs continuously or on motion. Viewing from outside the premises is limited by the upload capacity of the site connection. And placement has to respect washrooms, changing areas and neighbouring property, which is why those boundaries are marked on the plan and discussed with you first.
Scope
What the system covers
Each part is decided from the site walk. Nothing is added because a package deal includes it.
IP camera installation
Cameras mounted at working heights with lenses matched to the distance they cover, not simply the widest angle available.
Cabling and power
Routes planned through ceilings and shafts, with power delivered centrally so a single failed adaptor does not need a ladder visit.
Recording and retention
A recorder sized against the camera count and the days you need, with the arithmetic shown to you before the purchase.
Remote viewing
Phone and desktop access for named people, configured around the site upload speed so the streams stay usable.
Access control integration
Door entry and intercom linked into the same viewer where the hardware supports it, so one screen shows the door and the camera.
Included
Included in the installation
The placement plan and the handover count as much as the mounting and the wiring.
- Site walk and placement plan
- Lighting and coverage review
- Camera and recorder specification
- Cable and power routing
- Mounting, aiming and focus
- Recording and retention setup
- Remote viewing for named users
- Handover with drawings and accounts
Deliverables
What the handover includes
- Placement plan and as-built drawing
- Configured recorder with retention confirmed
- Viewing set up on the agreed devices
- Named user accounts with access levels
- Device list, credentials and warranty papers
- Maintenance terms and a support contact
Fit
Where this fits best
The sites that benefit most are the ones where the recording has to prove a specific event, not simply show a room.
Shops, showrooms and cash counters
Where a disputed transaction or a missing item needs a clear record rather than a wide view of the room.
Factories, godowns and loading areas
Where activity continues after dark, lighting changes across the shift, and the camera has to work in both conditions.
Offices and clinics with public entry
Where reception, entry and exit need coverage while consultation and treatment areas remain private.
Premises left unattended for long periods
Where recording must continue without daily attention, and a failed camera or a full disk needs to become visible.
- 01 / ProblemThe footage exists but nobody can be recognised
- Placement, backlight and lens choice are reviewed together. Adding megapixels to a badly placed camera rarely recovers the detail that was never in the frame.
- 02 / ProblemRecording overwrites before an incident is reported
- Retention is calculated from camera count, resolution and recording mode, and the figure is agreed with you before the recorder is bought.
- 03 / ProblemRemote viewing freezes when several people open it
- The site upload link sets the ceiling. We configure substreams and a sensible number of simultaneous viewers instead of promising full quality to everyone at once.
- 04 / ProblemA camera has been down for months and nobody noticed
- Scheduled health checks under an agreed support arrangement make a failed camera or a failing disk visible, rather than discovered on the day the footage is needed.
Process
How the installation runs
Design comes from the site, not from a catalogue. Each stage has something you can check before the next begins.
-
Step 01
Survey the premises
Walk the premises, review lighting at different hours, and list the areas that need coverage and those that must not have it.
-
Step 02
Plan the placement
A placement plan with fields of view, cable routes, recorder location and the storage calculation written down.
-
Step 03
Mount and wire
Mounting, cabling and power, scheduled around trading hours and with the area left clean each day.
-
Step 04
Set the recording
Aiming, focus, recording modes, retention, correct time, and viewing accounts for the people you name.
-
Step 05
Brief and hand over
Drawings, logins and a short walkthrough, with maintenance terms and a contact for faults in writing.
Technology
How the system is put together
The components are ordinary. What determines the result is how they are chosen for the site and set up together.
Capture
- IP cameras
- Fixed and varifocal lenses
- Day and night lighting review
- Weather-rated housings
Recording
- Network video recorder
- Storage sized to retention
- Continuous or motion recording
- Clock and time synchronisation
Viewing and access
- Role-based viewer accounts
- Mobile and desktop viewing
- Access control and intercom links
- Secure remote access
Outcomes
What changes after handover
The measure of a camera system is what it can show on the day someone needs it, months after installation.
01
Footage that can be used
Placement and lighting chosen so a face, a vehicle or a cash handover is clear when it matters.
02
Retention that matches the need
Recording covers the period you agreed, not the period the disk happens to allow.
03
Blind spots accounted for
The plan shows what each camera covers and where the gaps are, instead of leaving them to be found later.
04
A system that keeps working
Health checks and agreed support catch a failed camera or a full disk early rather than after the incident.
FAQ
Questions we are asked about CCTV
Still unsure whether this fits what you are trying to do? Ask directly — you will get an honest answer, including when the answer is no.
Talk to the teamHow many cameras will we need?
That comes from the survey, not from a per-square-foot formula. Entrances, exits, cash handling and stock movement are the first zones, and each is checked for the field of view a camera would need. We do not quote a count before walking the site.
How many days of recording can we keep?
It depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate and whether recording is continuous or motion-triggered. We work the storage figure out during design and show it to you, so the retention you expect is the retention the recorder delivers.
Can we see the cameras on a phone?
Yes, through the viewing app supplied with the recorder, for the accounts you nominate. Remote quality depends on the site upload bandwidth, so we configure lower-bandwidth streams for phones rather than full-quality ones that stutter.
What are the rules about privacy?
Cameras stay out of washrooms, changing areas and other spaces where privacy is expected, and we mark those boundaries on the plan. Where premises are covered, notices and a stated purpose are the usual requirement, and access to recordings is limited to named people.
Do you monitor the cameras for us?
We install and support them, and an agreed support arrangement can include scheduled health checks, fault response and visits on stated terms. Continuous monitoring from an in-house control room is not something we claim to provide; if that is what you need, we will say so and discuss where it fits.
