SpyGearCo: Spy and Surveillance

The power and value of using a digital video video surveillance camera system like the Four Camera Indoor Video Surveillance Kit w/Free Remote Viewing saves you wasting loads of time watching hours of live video feeds.

We highly recommend the WiLife Camera set of 4 because the quality, detail and ease of installation cannot be matched in any indoor surveillance system. Most business owners will be able to install these camera by themselves and they won’t interfere will their exist phone systems that may be on or near the same frequency of a typical 2.4Ghz wireless video surveillance system because the surveillance cameras transmit video through your businesses wiring through a technology called HomePlug.

Installation the Four Camera Indoor Video Surveillance Kit requires only 3 easy steps:

1: Install the Werks Software onto the PC that will be your command center.

2: Connect the USB Receiver to the computer that will be you DVR like command center for view and recording surveillance video.

3: Position the Indoor Camera, mount using Suction Cup  Mount, Desktop Stand, Wall Mount Bracket Set and plug them into an AC outlet.

Now we discuss camera placement and things to consider before drilling the holes for the camera mounting bracket. These tips will give you information needed to have a powerful business video surveillance system that will help eliminate employee theft and making sure your business runs smoothly as possible.

You can simply review recorded motion-based events whenever time permits. Given that your time is limited planning the camera placement for your small business is very important to think about before you actually install them.

Another important fact to consider is the behavior of your customers and the walking/working patterns of your employees. Take a few moments to analyze your customer’s and employee’s behavior. Because you are not going to be monitoring live video all of the time, you want to place cameras in the most strategic places where they can provide detailed, recorded video of every person that visits your business.

Take a  small coffee shop, for instance. You determine that 80% of your customers end up at the cash register; 15% go straight to a table to meet a friend or to use the wireless Internet connection; and 5% come in to use the bathroom or ask directions. And at the end of their purchase or stay, 70% of customers exit the front door while the rest leave through the side door.

Regarding your employee’s behavior, you will most likely find that the bulk of your employee’s time is spent at the register, along the food prep line, and in the kitchen.

Taking all of these facts into consideration, you determine that you must have a camera focused on the register, a camera that sees the customers as they leave the store from both doors, and a camera viewing the employees on the food prep line and in the kitchen.

During the camera placement process, keep in mind that you are setting the cameras up to gather video data that will most likely be reviewed at a later time.

Knowing this may help you place your cameras in locations that will guarantee you capture high-quality, close-up video of every person that visits the store on a daily basis.

Using one camera with a wide angle lens may give you the most overall coverage, though it might provide little detail when reviewing recorded video.

Also consider your store’s overall structure when placing your cameras.

For example, if your business is a small storefront with lots of glass windows, you should use a few of the same principals of photography when setting up your cameras. For example, don’t stand in the sun while photographing someone standing in the shade, and visa versa.

Because of this, avoid mounting Indoor cameras 10’ inside the store pointing at the glass windows. To see the patrons entering your business with the least amount of glare, mount the camera from the side of the entry looking in. This angle will be more than sufficient to capture a great, quality profile video.

Another camera mounted above or to the side of the front door looking into the store will also capture great video of customers as they leave, alleviating any excess backlight that would compromise video quality.
