[See Real Options & Prices](#products) [Ask Us What's Best for You](https://wa.me/254113301244) Buying Guide ## What Actually Makes a CCTV Camera "Best" There's no single best CCTV camera -- the right one depends on where it's going and what you need from it. A few things genuinely matter more than marketing terms: - **Resolution** — 2MP is enough to identify a person's presence; 4MP and 8MP are worth it if you need to read faces, plates or fine detail at a distance. - **Night vision quality** — Colour night vision (ColorVu-type) cameras keep colour detail after dark, which matters far more for identification than a longer infrared spec on paper. - **IR/night range** — Matched to the distance you actually need to see, not the longest number available -- a 30m range camera watching a 5m corridor is wasted spec. - **Weatherproof rating (IP67)** — Essential for anything mounted outdoors in Kenya's rain and dust; less critical indoors. - **Wired vs Wi-Fi** — Wired (PoE) cameras are more reliable for a permanent installation; Wi-Fi suits a quick, no-cabling setup or a rental property.

FAQ ## Common questions Which CCTV camera is best for a home in Kenya? For most homes, a 2MP or 4MP ColorVu-type bullet camera at the gate and entrance covers the essentials well. A 4-camera starter kit is often the most cost-effective way to cover a whole compound at once. Is a more expensive CCTV camera always better? Not necessarily -- price often reflects resolution, night-vision quality and IR range. A KES 30,000 camera isn't "better" for a spot where a KES 8,500 one already sees everything you need. Do I need a recorder (NVR/DVR) separately? Individual cameras usually need a separate NVR or DVR to record continuously, unless you buy a complete kit that already includes one, like the starter kit above. Can I install CCTV myself? Basic Wi-Fi cameras can often be self-installed. Wired, multi-camera systems typically need professional cabling and configuration to work reliably -- we can quote for installation on any camera you buy. ## Not Sure Which One You Need?
