A CCTV camera consists of a video camera, a recorder and a display unit to see the recorded images. There are different varieties and quality of these gadgets and one can choose as per one's requirement and budget. These cameras work in the night also having special lenses to collect the minimum light available. The point wise answer to the queries are -

a) Generally 3 cameras are sufficient for a house. One in the front side capturing any activity at the main gate or its side pillars. Second in the back side covering the fence or door whatever be the case. Third is inside the hall focussing on the main door. This is bare minimum but those who keep valuable in the house a fourth one might be needed.

b) If you are going for branded one then online is also a good option as the repair will be done by the authorised centre otherwise the local shop would be a better option as you can call them for all sort of repairs easily and as per your convenience.

c) Generally one should go for a resolution of at least 720p and beyond that the cost will increase. The other parts used are power cabling and signal cabling to all the cameras and connectors to the recorder and the display unit.

d) The budget will have to be kept somewhere in the range Rs 15000 to 25000 depending on the configuration one chooses.

The requirement given is to cover all the four sides of the house and inside the house preferably in the hall. The overall requirement is 5 cameras. A CCTV Surveillance system consists of the required number of cameras with night vision, Digital Video Recorder (DVR), Hard Disk, Switch Mode Power Supply, Copper cable, and other necessary accessories. Coming to the points raised,

a). 5 numbers of cameras of 2 M.P. resolution are required. The cameras are broadly classified as bullet cameras and dome cameras. Bullet Cameras are useful for outdoor whereas Dome cameras are used indoors. 4 numbers of bullet cameras and one dome camera will be sufficient. 1 TB hard disk is preferable for recording. The DVR should be 4 or 8 channel one depending on the number of cameras used.
b). It is better to purchase locally as they will give a warranty and replace them when necessary. Online they may be cheap but service may become a problem as the system may require maintenance from time to time. The person installing the system will give free service for a certain period of time.
c). I recommend 2 MP cameras with night vision.
d). The budget may be anywhere between Rs 18000/ to Rs 20000/' It may be even more depending upon the actual conditions of installation.
