For Normal CCTV camera you have to install a complete setup and in order to work perfectly you need the help of the third parties for the installation of the cameras. In most of these type of cameras you will not find an option to connect an external mic. To record and store the visuals you will need a hard drive.

You can easily install it by yourself, just it needs the power supply and 24*7 WiFi connection. In these type of cameras you are available with mic as well as speaker option, so you can also use to talk to anyone like a webcam.
How many CCTV cameras should be installed at home, office or shop?
For Home: If you want to install CCTV DVR system in your home, you should atleast install 4 CCTV cameras. 2 cameras should be installed at the main gate or the entrance to your house compound, 1 should be at the left hand side and another should be placed in the right hand side, so that it provides you wide range.
Then next one should be installed at the main entrance to your home i.e the main door and the other one should be place in the roof top, so that it can cover your whole house.
For Office and Shop: If you are about to install CCTV camera system in your office or shop then you should atleast go with 2 CCTV cameras. 1 should be placed at the main gate or entrance to the compound and 1 should be placed at the main counter where you sit.
Note: These were just the minimal no. of the CCTV cameras you should install otherwise you can add more according to your needs and security.
How much it costs for CCTV cameras installation in India?
The rates might be a little bit higher or cheaper according to your locality and area. The price includes all the parts and installation cost.
Before buying the set of CCTV cameras always compare the prices online and local market. If you find any materials that costs very much high you should obviously go for the online purchase.
If you got a good budget then, you should obviously go for the 2megapixel CCTV cameras because it will provide really good visuals and will cover a wider area.
Should we purchase CCTV cameras online or offline in India?
According to my opinion, your first choice should always be the offline or local market for purchasing the CCTV camera because if got any problem while connecting or operating the system you can directly contact the shopkeeper otherwise if you purchase online you have to courier the defected items to them and you have to wait till it arrives.
Secondly, if you do an offline purchase, you could aspect a good service from the providers with a minimal cost.
On the other hand, if you want to buy a wireless CCTV camera, I recommend you to always go for online purchase just you need an 24*7 WiFi connection.
Again, before purchasing you must compare the prices online and offline and if you get the items for very high you can simply purchase that item online and rest you can buy offline.
What items do we need for installation of CCTV camera?
For installation of CCTV camera in your home, office or shop, you would be required with the following items. If the prices of the items is same as local price, please prefer to buy from them otherwise you can order online see the best price links.
Best CCTV cameras Brand in India
You will available with different brands of the CCTV cameras in the market, but just don't look at the megapixel of the camera because it might be higher in resolution but it will not provide the output as the resolution designates. And purchasing a good brand will provide the quality with much lower resolutions as well.
You can contact some seller to provide you the best in the budget rate or you can go for my recommendations i.e CP Plus and Hikvision. I am personally using them for years and I am really impressed.
And if you want to go for WiFi camera then, I would recommend you to go for the YI. This provide you the supreme quality along with the resolution. This also come in 2 variants 1 megapixel and 2 megapixel.
