Hardware Choices for cctv systems in Kent
A Chartham smallholding or paddock boundary is typically covered with two or three long-range bullet cameras on tall poles, fed by armoured cable buried below plough depth. A standard Chartham CCTV install uses four to eight Hikvision ColorVu cameras on a 4K NVR, with on-site recording to a surveillance-grade Western Digital Purple drive sized for at least 30 days of continuous footage. Hik-Connect is configured for smartphone live-view and playback. For Chartham properties we typically position one camera covering each elevation, front driveway, side passage, rear garden and outbuildings, and add a wide-angle 180° camera over the main entrance. AcuSense filtering reduces wildlife and traffic alerts to a manageable number. Where Station Road sits on a slope down toward Ashford Road, cable routes for cctv systems kit follow the fall of the land to keep runs gravity-fed rather than fighting the gradient.
