CCTV blind spots
Blind spots occur when camera placement leaves areas without coverage. Common causes include poor site survey, obstructions, incorrect lens choice, or cameras mounted too high or at wrong angles. Coverage gaps can allow incidents to go unrecorded.
Read MorePoor CCTV night vision
Poor night vision is usually due to insufficient infrared (IR) range, overexposure from nearby lights, reflective surfaces, or cameras not suited to low-light conditions. Older analogue cameras often perform poorly at night compared with modern IP units.
Read MoreCCTV storage full
Storage fills when retention is set too long for the available disk space, when resolution or frame rate was increased without adding storage, or when extra cameras were added without expanding the recorder. Motion-only recording can extend retention.

CCTV remote access issues
Remote access fails due to incorrect port forwarding, firewall rules, router or NVR settings, or because the system was never set up for secure remote viewing. Dynamic IP changes or ISP restrictions can also block access.
