What CCTV Setup Does Your Property Need?

The right CCTV setup depends on your property, the areas you want to monitor and what you need the cameras to capture. A small home may only need a few well-positioned cameras, while a larger property or business may need broader coverage across entrances, parking areas and perimeter points.

JVN assesses the property before recommending a system, looking at areas such as:

  • Entrances and pedestrian gates
  • Driveways and garages
  • Side passages and blind spots
  • Yards and perimeter areas
  • Parking and access points
  • Areas where identifying a person or vehicle clearly is important

The number and type of cameras will also depend on practical factors such as available power, Wi-Fi coverage, recording requirements and whether you want to view your cameras remotely from your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Prices for CCTV installations in Cape Town vary depending on the number and type of cameras, but a basic four-camera setup typically starts at around R4,500 to R6,500, while higher-specification systems can cost R10,000 or more. Current South African pricing guides put four-camera systems broadly between about R5,000 and R12,500. 

The final CCTV installation price will depend on camera quality, resolution, recorder, storage, cabling and the complexity of the installation. Larger systems cost more, so the most accurate price comes from a site-specific quote.

Most homes need around four to eight cameras, but the right number depends on the property layout and the areas that need coverage. Entrances, gates, driveways, side access, gardens and blind spots are usually assessed first. A site assessment is more reliable than choosing a package based only on camera count.

Wired CCTV is generally more reliable for permanent installations, while Wi-Fi cameras can be a practical option where there is strong, stable wireless coverage. Wired systems are less dependent on Wi-Fi signal strength, while wireless cameras can be easier to position where running data cables is difficult. The right option depends on the property, coverage required and available connectivity.

Yes. Compatible EZVIZ cameras can be viewed remotely through the EZVIZ app. The app supports live viewing, playback and alerts, allowing you to check your cameras while you are away from the property.

Yes, CCTV cameras with night-vision capability can record in low-light or dark conditions, but camera type and positioning affect the quality of the footage. Infrared night vision can be affected by reflective surfaces, nearby walls and other infrared light sources, which is why correct positioning is important.

CCTV footage can be stored locally or in the cloud, and you do not necessarily need a subscription. Many EZVIZ cameras support local recording, while EZVIZ CloudPlay offers optional subscription-based cloud storage. CloudPlay can store event recordings and make them available through the app, but pricing and availability vary by region.

Yes, many existing CCTV systems can be upgraded or expanded without replacing the entire installation. Depending on compatibility, it may be possible to add cameras, replace individual cameras, upgrade the recorder or storage, or improve an older analogue system. The existing cameras, cabling and recorder need to be checked first.

A professional CCTV camera installation typically includes a site assessment, camera planning, installation, system configuration, testing and handover. Depending on the system, this can also include cabling, recorder or storage setup, remote viewing configuration and showing you how to use the cameras and app.

A CCTV system will only continue working during a power outage if the necessary equipment has backup power. Depending on the setup, that may include the cameras, recorder, router and network equipment. If continued operation during outages is important, backup power should be considered when planning your CCTV installation.
