A restaurant needs cameras on the entrance, the till, the kitchen entrance, the stockroom or cold room door and the car park. A wide camera over the dining floor helps with disputes, but avoid close views of guests' tables. Many losses are internal: till discrepancies, unrecorded sales and stock leaving by the back door, so the till and the back door matter most.
Key takeaways
- Till, kitchen door, stockroom and entrance first.
- A wide dining-floor camera helps with disputes.
- Avoid close shots of guests' tables.
- Record the back door where stock leaves.
01What to look for before you buy
| Zone | Why | Camera |
|---|---|---|
| Till and bar | Cash handling and voided sales | Overhead dome |
| Kitchen entrance and pass | Who goes in and out; waste and theft | Dome facing the door |
| Stockroom or cold room | Stock leaving unrecorded | Camera on the door and shelves |
| Dining floor | Disputes and safety | Wide dome, not on tables |
| Car park and back door | Deliveries and after-hours access | Weatherproof night camera |

06Frequently asked questions
Can I put cameras in the kitchen?
Yes, for security and food-safety evidence, but tell staff and keep the footage private and limited to authorised people.
Should I record audio?
Recording conversations raises further privacy issues. Most business CCTV records video only; check the legal position before enabling audio.
How many cameras for a small restaurant?
Often four to eight, depending on layout: entrance, till, kitchen door, stockroom, dining floor and outside.
Can I view the cameras from my phone?
Most modern recorders offer a phone app. Use a strong password and update the recorder's firmware.
