If you plan to use CCTV in your house now or later, here is something you should keep in mind.
To enjoy CCTV benefits to their fullest extent, you must plan and adopt a few tech stuff. They are…
1) Have a wired network connection to CCTV DVR
2) Don’t use a Wireless network unless you don’t have wired network options
3) If you need to watch LIVE CCTV visuals from different locations, then you need to have internet connections at home as well as user who need to see visuals
During our first house construction time, I wasn’t aware of the smart home and IOT concept yet.
But one thing I’m sure of is… having a proper network should be set up for our entire house.
So with my networking knowledge, I implemented the networking concept for the full building.
Due to good broadband speed… I learned the smart home concept online and implemented some automation in our first house.
A few years back, I bought a robotic vacuum cleaner for my home for cleaning purposes.
It is imported from China.
When I imported that time in the Indian market, only one or two brands of robotic vacuum cleaners were available.
And that too only basic features models were available with too costly price tag (₹35K+).
So I decided to buy it from China, which has few advanced features and a lower price (I guess ₹12K to ₹18K).
A few years back, We went to my engineer’s house/office to discuss building planning and design stuff.
He is a popular engineer who used to design even big apartments with swimming pool kind of projects.
He does all this work from his Home office with the help of a few trainee guys.
In his 3-floor building (G+3), his house is on the 1st floor, and his office is on the 3rd floor—the rest of the units he gave for rent.
So, my dad and I went to his office on the 3rd floor one day…
Today at around 5 PM, I was resting on my bed and scrolling Facebook feed on my mobile.
I got a call from one of my tenant (MCA student) Dad.
Tennant dad: “Arun, we need an internet connection today. Can you arrange it?“
