In times of increasing technological dependence and the need for security, video surveillance becomes an integral part of our daily lives. If you plan to enhance the safety of your home or business in Bulgaria, it is important to know how to install video surveillance correctly and effectively.

Planning the Installation

The first step is planning. Choosing the right location for the cameras is essential. You need to consider the following factors:

• Purpose of surveillance: Do you want to monitor the front door, the entire room, or a specific area?
• Lighting: Cameras should be positioned to have enough light or be equipped with infrared sensors for night vision.
• Wired or wireless system: Depending on the budget and technology, you can choose between a wired or wireless system.

Choosing the Right Materials

After planning, it's time to choose the materials. Video surveillance is not just a camera. Here are some of the main components you will need:

• Cameras: Choose according to your needs - IP cameras for online access or analog for a more economical option.
• Recorder: This device records and stores the video. You can choose between DVR and NVR.
• Monitors: They are necessary for viewing the video in real-time or recorded footage.

Proper Installation

The installation of the system is as important as the materials. Incorrect installation can lead to blind spots or poor image quality. Here's how to perform the installation correctly:

• Camera height: Cameras should be mounted at a height of 2.5 to 3 meters to avoid vandalism and provide a good overview.
• Camera angle: Aim the camera to cover the maximum area.
• Mounting: Use reliable fasteners to avoid vibrations and displacements.

Legislation and Ethics

The installation of video surveillance in Bulgaria is subject to certain laws and ethical norms. Here's what you need to know:

• Consent: If the video surveillance covers other people (e.g., neighbors), you must

  

  
  obtain their consent.
• Signage: It is mandatory to inform visitors with a sign that the premises are under video surveillance.
