CCTV for Ghana shops and homes is about deterrent value, usable footage, and storage — not how many fake “AI” logos the carton prints.
Buying checklist
- Camera type: turret/bullet for outdoors; dome for indoor aesthetics
- Resolution: enough to recognise faces at your entrance distance
- Night performance: IR or colour-night claims — test samples
- Storage: NVR/DVR capacity or reputable cloud plans
- Power & networking: PoE simplicity vs Wi‑Fi convenience
- Remote app: change default passwords immediately
Placement basics
- Cover entry points first
- Height that avoids easy tampering
- Avoid pointing straight at harsh sun
- Put a visible camera as deterrent where legal/appropriate
Power reality
Outages kill recordings if there’s no backup plan — think UPS/inverter for the NVR. Surge protection matters — surge guide. Generators: generator buying.
Privacy & law sense
- Don’t aim into neighbours’ private spaces needlessly
- Secure the app with a strong password — password guide
- Keep firmware updated when vendors provide it
FAQ
Wi‑Fi or wired?
Wired/PoE is usually more reliable for shops.
How many days storage?
Depends on camera count/bitrate — calculate before buying.
Fake cameras only?
Weak deterrent if thieves test them.
Cover doors first, secure the app, plan storage and power cuts, and prefer reliable wiring for business. Footage you can actually review beats camera-count bragging.
