Frequently Asked Questions
Which CCTV resolution is best for home use in Australia?
8 MP (4K) dome/turret cameras balance price and detail for driveways and entryways. They provide clear recognition and pair well with 4–8 channel NVRs.
Do I need NDAA-approved CCTV?
NDAA-approved cameras (e.g., Milesight, Hanwha) are recommended for councils, schools and compliance-driven projects. Private installs may not require it, but many buyers prefer NDAA for assurance.
What matters most for night performance?
Lens aperture (F1.0–F1.6), low-lux sensors, and illumination type (IR vs warm LED vs hybrid). Compare these in our 8 MP dome/turret guide.
Can I use cameras without an NVR?
Yes. Many models support local microSD storage; NVRs simplify multi-camera recording, HDMI playback, retention control and export.
