CCTV Systems: Overcoming The Difficulties Of Rural Surveillance

Exposure to adverse weather conditions and moisture, lack of proper power supply and vandalism are some of the major problems in installing security surveillance cameras for monitoring the activities in isolated properties in the countryside. As regular patrolling is difficult in the remote isolated areas, such properties are often made use of by criminals for their activities.

However, when it comes to installing a CCTV system in rural properties, it is important to bear a few points in mind:

•    Power: Direct power supply could be a big problem in such remote areas. It is best to go for security cameras with SLA batteries with long battery life, and supplement if possible, with solar panels. If you are picturing the bulky conspicuous panels, you are mistaken! There are now special solar panels that can be camouflaged on tree trunks and plants that can be used especially in such conditions.

•    Moisture: Exposure to moisture is inevitable when your cameras are out there in the open. Though most covert cameras that are available nowadays are weather- proof and shock-proof, make sure you put a bag of desiccant to absorb any moisture that sticks when you hide your cameras.

•    Vandal-proof: Even though most cameras are vandal-proof, always pay attention to keep the recorders away from security cameras (wireless), to prevent the recorded data from being tampered, in case the camera is spotted
