How long do CCTV recordings last?
The length of time CCTV footage is stored depends on the system’s storage capacity, camera resolution, number of cameras, and recording settings. Most systems use a hard drive (DVR/NVR) or cloud storage, and storage durations can range from a few days to several months. For example, a 1TB drive might store two weeks of HD footage from four cameras. Businesses often retain footage for at least 30 days, while homeowners may keep footage for shorter periods. Many systems overwrite old data automatically when storage is full. You can extend storage time by reducing resolution or recording only on motion detection.
What features should I look for in a modern security camera?
Modern security cameras should include high-definition (HD or better) resolution, night vision, motion detection, remote access via smartphone apps, and cloud or local storage options. Two-way audio can be useful for communicating with delivery drivers or visitors. Look for weatherproof ratings for outdoor cameras and wide-angle lenses for broader coverage. Some advanced models offer facial recognition, vehicle detection, and AI alerts to reduce false notifications. Compatibility with your current security system or smart home devices is also important. Always consider how the features match your monitoring needs, environment, and budget before purchasing.
What happens during a power outage?
Most professionally installed security systems are equipped with a backup battery that activates automatically if the main power is lost. These batteries typically last 8 to 24 hours, depending on the system and settings. While some features may be limited — such as live video feeds or cloud uploads — the sensors and basic monitoring functions usually remain active. Once power is restored, the system recharges the backup battery. For wireless and smart systems, ensure your Wi-Fi router is also connected to a backup power source to maintain full functionality during outages.
