Cover the till, the kitchen door, the stock and the entrance, not the guests' tables up close. Imagine something goes wrong at your gate tonight. Could you show exactly who, when and how? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Till, kitchen door, stockroom and entrance first. - A wide dining-floor camera helps with disputes. - Avoid close shots of guests' tables. Quick answer 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. [Photo: Alan J.

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. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
