CCTV Cameras and Installation, Meeting The Customers Needs
January 8th, 2010
Customer satisfaction depends solely on their needs being met. These needs are often budgetary but a CCTV camera installation that doesn’t cover the perceived areas of need is as bad or worse than no CCTV camera coverage at all. The cameras, types of cameras, lenses, multiplexers and recorders all play a factor in the successful installation of a CCTV camera system.
A CCTV camera installation can be and often is a complex task. The complexity of the installation of the CCTV cameras and associated equipment can often be mitigated by a series of meetings between both parties. The client in the first meeting will define their needs as to areas of coverage and whether or not they actually need a color camera or a black and white camera in a particular location. The provider must recognize that the client in all probability has no knowledge of CCTV systems and is turning to the provider to provide the solutions to the needs.
The client must make their needs known to the CCTV provider. These needs, which include problem areas that they want to, cover, what type of coverage that they need and their final budget for the project. While the provider may have a different concept for the project the needs of the client must be met. There may be options to a CCTV camera installation that the client is unaware of. These options should be brought out to the client and potentially the CCTV installation will be subject to further budget review.
In many cases, the client will only want general surveillance of an area and a black and white camera with a fixed iris lens will suffice. In other areas, the coverage must include a color video camera equipped with backlight compensation and an auto iris lens. These considerations can be brought out to the client in a subsequent meeting. The provider of the CCTV camera installation should provide the client a scale drawing showing camera positions, areas of coverage and types of cameras involved in the coverage. This scale drawing will permit the client to actually see what areas of their property are covered and allow them to present the drawing to a supplemental budget review meeting.
Meetings with the between the client and the CCTV camera installation provider will provide the problems faced by the client and the solutions proposed by the CCTV camera provider. At the end of the meetings, both the client and the provider will know exactly what is to be provided and the coverage of the areas that the client perceives as problem areas. When the installation is complete, both the client and the provider will be satisfied with the finished product.
