Front Door and Entrance

Your front entrance needs careful consideration. We recommend mounting cameras at 2.5-3 metres high, angled slightly downward to capture clear facial images. This placement also helps manage glare from porch lighting, a common issue in many Galway homes.

Back Door and Garden Access

Most Galway properties have multiple rear access points. Our approach involves positioning cameras to cover both the immediate door area and wider garden space. We'll help you manage obstacles like trees and shrubs that could block camera views.

Side Gates and Pathways

These often-overlooked areas need careful attention. We recommend overlapping camera coverage to eliminate blind spots, particularly important for narrow passages typical in Galway's older properties.

Driveway and Parking Areas

For effective vehicle protection, cameras should be positioned to capture both number plates and clear vehicle details. Our systems use advanced motion detection to alert you to any suspicious activity.

Technical Considerations

When installing your CCTV system, we carefully consider optimal camera heights for different property types and account for Galway's unique weather patterns. Our team assesses local WiFi strength and connectivity needs, ensuring reliable coverage throughout your property. We also plan for power source accessibility and backup options, giving you peace of mind even during power outages.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Through our experience, we've observed that DIY installations often result in cameras mounted too high, leading to poor facial recognition. Incorrect angle selection frequently creates blind spots, while inadequate coverage overlap between cameras leaves vulnerable areas unprotected. Many homeowners also fail to account for seasonal lighting changes, which can significantly impact camera effectiveness throughout the year.
