With so many security camera options on the market, choosing the right system for your London home can feel overwhelming. Understanding the essential features that truly matter will help you make an informed decision and avoid paying for unnecessary extras that don't improve your security.
Resolution is one of the most important factors: a minimum of 2MP (1080p Full HD) is recommended for clear identification of faces and number plates, while 4K cameras offer the best detail for larger properties. Night vision quality varies significantly between cameras, so look for systems with infrared LEDs that provide clear footage in complete darkness. Weather resistance is essential for outdoor cameras, with an IP66 or IP67 rating ensuring reliable performance in all conditions.
Storage options have also evolved considerably. While traditional DVR/NVR systems remain popular for their reliability, many modern cameras offer cloud storage as an alternative or supplement. GPM London typically recommends a hybrid approach, with local recording for continuous footage and cloud backup for critical events. Our engineers will assess your property and recommend the ideal camera positions, resolution and storage solution for comprehensive coverage.
