ASSESSING YOUR NEEDS FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE
In the pursuit of economical security solutions,
the first step understands your unique needs.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach when it
comes to protecting your home. It's about
striking the perfect balance between
cost-effectiveness and comprehensive security.
4
IDENTIFY VULNERABLE AREAS
Start by closely examining your property.
Identify the weak points, the areas where
potential threats could infiltrate. Knowing these
areas is crucial to directing your security
efforts effectively
5
INDOOR VS. OUTDOOR CAMERAS
Make an informed choice between indoor, outdoor,
or a combination of both camera types. Outdoor
cameras need to endure Ontario's unpredictable
weather conditions, so select wisely.
6
CAMERA RESOLUTION
The devil is in the details. Opt for the camera
resolution that suits your requirements without
breaking your budget. High-resolution cameras
provide clear images but come at a premium
7
NIGHT VISION
Darkness should never be an obstacle to your
security. Night vision capabilities are a must
for round-the-clock surveillance, especially in
low-light conditions.
8
STORAGE OPTIONS
Decide how you wish to store your precious
footage. Local storage on a DVR/NVR, cloud-based
storage, or a combination of bothall have their
merits. Choose what aligns with your budget and
security preferences.
9
REMOTE ACCESS
The ability to monitor your property remotely
through a smartphone app or computer can enhance
convenience and peace of mind. Assess whether
this feature aligns with your security
priorities.

MATTER

STORAGE OPTIONS
Consider your preferred method of storing
footage. Local storage on a DVR/NVR is
cost-effective, but cloud-based storage offers
convenience and accessibility. Some cameras even
provide a combination of both options. Assess
which aligns with your budget and data management
preferences

21
MOBILE APP INTEGRATION
Remote access through a mobile app is a valuable
feature for keeping an eye on your property while
away. Ensure that your chosen cameras are

CONSIDERATIONS
26

DECISIONS YOU'LL FACE IS WHETHER TO OPT FOR LOCAL
OR NATIONAL BRANDS. BOTH OPTIONS COME WITH THEIR
OWN SET OF ADVANTAGES AND CONSIDERATIONS, AND
FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN VALUE AND
QUALITY IS CRUCIAL
27
Local Brands
ADVANTAGES
Cost Savings Local brands often offer
competitive pricing since they have lower
overhead costs compared to national counterparts.
Personalized Support You may receive more
personalized customer support and quicker
response times when dealing with local companies.
28
Local Brands
CONSIDERATIONS
Limited Recognition Local brands may not have
the same recognition or reputation as national
brands, which could influence your perception of
product quality
Warranty and Support While personalized support
is an advantage, local brands may have limited
resources for warranty claims or technical
assistance
29

have a long-standing reputation for quality and
reliability, offering peace of mind to consumers

provide extensive warranty coverage and robust
customer support infrastructure
Product Innovation National brands tend to
invest in research and development, leading to
more advanced features and technology.
30
National Brands
CONSIDERATIONS
Higher Price Tag The prestige of national brands
often comes with a higher price tag, potentially
straining your budget
Limited Local Presence While national brands
offer strong support, local service availability
may be limited, leading to potential delays in
assistance
31
CREATIVE PLACEMENT STRATEGIES MAXIMIZING
COVERAGE ON A BUDGET
IN THE PURSUIT OF COST-EFFECTIVE SECURITY CAMERA
INSTALLATION, STRATEGIC PLACEMENT IS KEY TO
MAXIMIZING COVERAGE WITHOUT OVERSPENDING.
32
ENTRY POINTS
Focus on securing entry points like doors,
windows, and garages. Placing cameras
strategically at these locations provides a
deterrent to potential intruders while keeping
installation costs in check
33
HIGH-TRAFFIC AREAS
Identify high-traffic areas both inside and
outside your home. These locations are more
likely to capture relevant activity and
incidents, making them ideal spots for cameras
34
OVERLAPPING VIEWS
Optimize your camera placement by positioning
them to overlap their views. This reduces the
number of cameras needed while maintaining
comprehensive coverage
35
HIDDEN CAMERAS
Strategically conceal some cameras to capture
footage discreetly. Hidden cameras can be
especially useful for monitoring sensitive areas
without drawing attention.
36
PAN AND TILT CAMERAS
Consider pan and tilt cameras that can be
remotely controlled to adjust their viewing
angles. These versatile cameras can cover larger
areas with a single unit
37
FAKE CAMERAS
Supplement your genuine cameras with fake ones.
While fake cameras do not provide actual
surveillance, they can serve as a cost-effective
deterrent to potential intruders
38
WINDOW PLACEMENT
Install cameras near windows to capture activity
outside while keeping them protected from the
elements. Ensure clear lines of sight through the
glass.
39
WI-FI RANGE EXTENDERS
If you choose wireless cameras, use Wi-Fi range
extenders to increase coverage areas without
adding more cameras.
40
MULTI-FUNCTION CAMERAS
Select cameras with multiple functions, such as
motion detection and two-way audio, to cover
various security needs with a single device
41
MULTI-FUNCHEIGHT ADVANTAGE

provide broader coverage and reduce the risk of
tampering

approach allows you to enhance your security
without a complete overhaul of your system
44
Expand Your Network
If you've invested in a smart home hub or
network, such as a Wi-Fi mesh system, use it to
your advantage. These networks can support
multiple devices, including security cameras,
without the need for additional infrastructure.
Repurpose Devices
If you already have security cameras in place,
assess whether they can be upgraded or integrated
with newer, more cost-effective models. This
approach allows you to enhance your security
without a complete overhaul of your system
45
Reevaluate Sensor Locations
Review the locations of existing sensors, such as
motion detectors or door/window sensors. Proper
placement can enhance the effectiveness of your
security system without adding new components.
