FAQ'S
Q: How do I choose the right CCTV system?
A: Consider factors like the area to be monitored, lighting conditions, camera resolution, and whether the cameras will be used indoors or outdoors. Consulting with Sentry CCTV we can help you choose the best system for your needs.
Q: Can I install CCTV cameras myself?
A: While some systems are designed for easy DIY installation, professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal camera placement, system configuration and warranty from the manufacturer.
Q: What is the difference between wired and wireless CCTV systems?

A: The storage duration depends on the system's capacity and the quality of the footage. Settings can be configured to overwrite old footage or use external storage for longer retention.
