Door & Entrance Cameras for Businesses

Placement of Entryway Cameras

Cameras out of reach: The cameras should be positioned 9 feet from the ground. This places the camera out of reach from a person standing on the ground, but close enough to capture a clear image of the visible area. 

Picture Quality is a Priority: Door Entry Cameras should face people approaching the door, so that the camera can view them clearly when they are standing in front of the door. It is important to keep in mind that the positioning should be such that it captures the visitor face properly. The camera should provide a 1080 or HD video feed in order to have a clear enough picture to identify individuals.

Weatherproofing: Another major consideration is protecting the camera from adverse weather conditions. The best solution is to use a weatherproof outdoor security camera and to protect the lens from wear and tear of climatic conditions.

Secure all points of entry: It’s important to position security cameras that cover all entrances to the building, specifically doors and windows on the ground level.

Monitor the inside and outside: Outdoor business security cameras are essential in deterring criminals and preventing crime before it happens. The placement of the cameras should be visible to an intruder approaching the facility and from individuals inside the facility.

Get enough cameras: Everyone wants to save money, but cutting the number of cameras is not the way to reduce your security budget. If you go too thin with the number of cameras needed for covering your business entrance, you may be leaving blind spots and creating vulnerabilities for your business.

Outdoor security cameras are an integral part of your business security system. As a result, it is important to avoid lower quality consumer and residential cameras. Doorbell cameras and many products designed for houses will not meet the needs of your business. These cameras do not have the security measures, anti-tamper/vandalism features, integration capabilities, and HD video quality needed to properly secure your business. We recommend that you avoid any cameras listed below if you are using the camera for your business:

• Lorex
• Swann
• Arlo
• Hikvision
• Nest
• Night Owl

Door entry cameras record people entering and leaving the facility. So, it makes sense to integrate with an access control system that records the time of entry and control the person’s access to the facility.

Integrating with the Visitor management system captures the visitors entry and exit to the facility as well as controls their access.

Face Recognition is a smart technology that should be integrated to authenticate people by recognizing their face. It is a no doubt fast and easy process that keeps unauthorized people away and grants access to the right individual.

Integrating with sound-based alarms and emergency notification systems helps to alert business of intruders or simply when a door is open.
