Surveillance Essentials

Core Surveillance Equipment for Reliable Security Performance

Securing your home with CCTV cameras is a great first step, but it requires careful planning – such as where to place the cameras and how the surveillance footage will be stored. The right hardware and structural backups ensure your smart home security setup functions flawlessly at all times. From keeping your cables dry to securing your core recording gear against physical tampering, high-quality surveillance accessories turn standard hardware into a resilient, long-term defence network.

Weatherproof Mounts, Brackets, and Hardware Protection

Running surveillance equipment in the real world means protecting your gear from both the elements and physical tampering. Choosing the right mounting solutions ensures optimal viewing angles and clean cable management.

  1. Weatherproof Junction Boxes: Aluminium junction boxes with IP66 ratings are non-negotiable for outdoor installations. They conceal and protect vulnerable cable connections against dust and heavy rain, utilising threaded conduit entries for clean, secure wiring.
  2. Right-Angle Wall Mounts: Perfect for precise indoor placement, right-angle brackets allow you to mount cameras flush against a wall for comprehensive room visibility and a clean, professional aesthetic.
  3. Lockable Security Cabinets: To protect your central system and keep the area tidy, a dedicated steel security cabinet safely stores your recording hardware and display monitors behind dual locks, with built-in active cooling to prevent overheating.

Continuous Monitoring and Dedicated Storage Solutions

High-resolution security setups require substantial infrastructure that standard tech can’t handle. MJS Electrical Supplies offers the surveillance equipment you need for optimal performance.

  1. Investing in a dedicated Network Video Recorder (NVR) ensures your property benefits from continuous, 24/7 video storage without losing your feed during an internet dropout.
  2. Surveillance Monitors: Dedicated Full HD LED monitors feature commercial-grade components designed for continuous 24/7 operation, wide viewing angles, and multiple inputs to deliver crisp, immediate visual layouts from your NVR system.
  3. Surveillance Hard Disk Drives: Standard desktop drives will quickly fail under the constant write cycles of multiple IP security cameras. A dedicated surveillance hard disk drive is made specifically for non-stop surveillance workloads. With specialised firmware designed to handle multi-stream inputs from up to 64 HD cameras simultaneously, a true surveillance hard disk drive offers lower power consumption, less heat emissions, and rotational vibration resistance for multi-drive systems.
