OPS Secure CCTV
How it works, end to end.
Systems
A system is a recorder (NVR or DVR) and its cameras. IP cameras use PoE over CAT6; analogue cameras need a DVR; wireless cameras need Wi-Fi and a powered NVR on site.
Power & budgets
The NVR has 8 PoE ports and a 120 W budget; PoE switches add more. A camera without power, a channel or a path stays offline.
Recording & events
Motion, heat, ANPR plate reads and doorbell rings are recorded as events. Recording modes are motion, continuous or off.
Who can watch
The owner, people they share with, members of an organisation job (e.g. police) and staff. Remote viewing needs the NVR online and remote viewing on.
Faults
Lens, cable and dead faults raise OPS Secure jobs. OPS Hub → CCTV systems shows everything live.
