Business CCTV and Video Surveillance Systems
A well designed CCTV system can help protect your people, premises and assets, while giving your team a clearer picture of what is happening on site.
IQ Security designs and installs business CCTV systems across New Zealand, from a small shop or office to a warehouse, school or multi site operation. We’ll help you choose the right cameras, recording platform and coverage for your site, security priorities and budget.
CCTV designed around your business
Every site has different risks and coverage needs. We’ll help identify important areas such as:
Entrances, exits and reception areas
Car parks, loading zones and building perimeters
Warehouses, storage areas and stock rooms
Retail floors, tills and customer areas
Shared spaces, corridors and service areas
Multiple sites that need centralised viewing
The right camera position and system setup can make recorded footage more useful when your team needs to review an incident.
More than recording footage
Depending on the cameras and video management system selected, your CCTV system can help your team:
View live and recorded video
Search footage to review an event
Monitor one site or multiple locations
Access video from approved devices
Set user permissions for different roles
Use supported alerts or analytics for specific events
We’ll explain which features suit your requirements and which depend on the equipment, software and site setup.
Choose the right cameras and video platform
We work with a range of CCTV camera and video management options, including ACTi, Axis, Uniview, Vivotek, Milesight, Milestone and NX Witness.
Camera brands and software platforms have different roles in a system. For example, Milestone XProtect and Nx Witness are video management software platforms; they help users manage and review video from compatible devices. Camera and platform selection depends on your site, preferred features and system requirements.
We can recommend camera styles to suit different areas, such as dome cameras for indoor spaces, bullet cameras for visible perimeter coverage, and PTZ cameras for areas that need remote pan, tilt and zoom control.
A wide range of CCTV cameras
Different areas of your site may need different types of cameras. IQ Security can recommend options based on the coverage, lighting and level of detail you need.
Standard fixed cameras: Dome, bullet, turret and box cameras for everyday indoor and outdoor coverage.
Zoom cameras: Allow closer viewing of important areas, with lens options suited to the distance and detail required.
PTZ cameras: Pan, tilt and zoom to let operators view a wider area and focus on specific activity.
Covert cameras: Discreet options for situations where a less visible camera may be appropriate.
180° and 360° cameras: Provide a wide or panoramic view of an area from a single camera position.
Overview, Zoom and Tracking cameras: Combine a broad overview with the ability to zoom in and track selected activity.
IP network cameras: Connect over a network and can be managed through a compatible recorder or video management system.
Low light and night vision cameras: Help capture footage in darker areas, depending on the camera and site conditions.
Thermal cameras: Detect heat patterns for specialist monitoring applications.
A camera’s suitability depends on the site and the system it will work with. We’ll help you select the right combination for your business and explain the options before installation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

That depends on the areas you need covered, lighting, recording requirements, site layout and who needs access to video. IQ Security can assess your requirements and recommend options.
Can I view CCTV remotely?
Many systems support remote viewing, subject to the selected equipment, network setup and user permissions. We can explain the available options for your site.

Possibly. Compatibility depends on your current cameras, recorder, software and network. We can review the existing system and advise whether parts can be retained.

Wired cameras are commonly used where a stable network connection and permanent coverage are priorities. Wireless options may suit some sites, but depend on signal, power and network conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of CCTV cameras and how do they work?
Common CCTV camera types include dome, bullet, turret, PTZ, fisheye, and multi-sensor cameras. Footage can be recorded on a DVR or NVR system, or stored securely in the cloud for remote viewing and playback.
Which CCTV cameras have night vision capabilities?
Many CCTV cameras include infrared night vision using IR LEDs to record in low-light environments. Some models also provide colour night vision or built-in lighting to improve image detail in darker areas.
How to choose the right CCTV camera for business use?
Start with coverage goals, lighting levels, and key risks such as tills, stock rooms, and entry points. Match camera type to the job, then confirm storage days, image quality, and who needs access.
Can I access my home security camera footage remotely on my mobile?
Yes, once cameras or the recorder connect to the internet through a secure router. Use a trusted app, update firmware, and enable two-factor login where possible.
What is the difference between wired and wireless CCTV cameras and their functionality?
Wired CCTV uses Ethernet or coax and tends to give stable video plus predictable power, often via PoE. Wireless CCTV uses Wi-Fi for data, which can simplify installs, yet congestion and signal dropouts can affect reliability.
