Expert Guidance from Sirius Security Ltd

Choosing the right CCTV system can feel overwhelming — different camera types, features, resolutions, and prices can make it difficult to know what’s best for your property.
This guide explains everything clearly so you can make an informed decision and choose a system that truly meets your needs.

Covert / Discreet Cameras

For sensitive areas or customer-facing environments.
✔ Small and unobtrusive
✔ Great for reception areas,

offices, and retail

Why Install CCTV?

A high-quality CCTV system offers more than just footage — it brings peace of mind.
Benefits include:

• Deters intruders and unwanted visitors

• Provides vital evidence if an incident occurs

• Lets you check your property from anywhere

• Reduces insurance risks

• Improves safety for staff, customers, or family

At Sirius Security, we design systems tailored to your property — not “one size fits all” kits.

Resolution: How Clear Do You Need It?

Modern CCTV ranges from 1080p Full HD to 8MP and 4K resolution.

Higher resolution = better detail, especially at distance.

For most installations:

​

• 4MP–8MP gives a perfect balance of clarity and value.

• Businesses often choose 4K for identifying number plates, faces, or fine detail.
