Accessing surveillance recordings from several months back presents technical and legal challenges. Most commercial systems automatically overwrite data after 30-90 days due to storage limitations. However, specific scenarios may allow recovery of older recordings. In Singapore, retention periods vary by sector. Banks often store footage for six months or longer, while preschools follow different protocols […]
Modern surveillance systems generate massive amounts of data. A single 2MP camera can fill up storage quickly, and businesses with multiple cameras face even bigger challenges. Understanding how footage is managed helps optimize both security and costs. Storage capacity directly impacts how long recordings are kept. RAID 10 setups, for example, offer reliable solutions with […]
Security recordings play a vital role in investigations and compliance. In Singapore, surveillance systems are increasingly mandatory, with preschools required to install them by 2024. Over 60% already meet this regulation. Most systems automatically delete data after 30 days due to storage limits. However, specialized recovery methods may help access overwritten files. Understanding your system’s […]
Singapore balances security needs with privacy concerns through clear guidelines for surveillance systems. Recent changes make it easier for residents to install CCTV cameras facing common areas, with HDB approval no longer required since May 2023. Over 500,000 surveillance devices operate across the island, with 93% of retail stores using monitoring systems. The Personal Data […]
Singapore has one of the highest surveillance densities globally, with over 500,000 cameras monitoring public and private spaces. Retailers rely heavily on these systems, with 93% using them for theft prevention. But who has the legal right to access these recordings? The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) sets clear boundaries. It balances security needs with […]
Singapore is rapidly expanding its surveillance infrastructure to enhance security and safety. Starting June 2024, high-risk construction sites with contracts exceeding $5 million must install HD (1080p minimum) cameras. This move aligns with broader industry standards and regulatory requirements. Most businesses follow a 30-day retention period for recorded material. However, workplace safety incidents demand longer […]
Keeping an eye on your property is possible even without a Wi-Fi connection. Many CCTV cameras now support cellular networks or peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, allowing real-time surveillance from your phone. This is especially useful in Singapore’s remote areas or construction sites where internet access may be unreliable. Popular models like Arlo Go and Reolink Go […]
Many homes and businesses in Singapore rely on surveillance systems for safety. When these systems fail, it can leave properties vulnerable. Technical problems cause most outages, but many are preventable with proper maintenance. Research shows 78% of CCTV camera failures stem from simple issues. Power surges, loose cables, or environmental factors often disrupt the system. […]
Remote access to security cameras from a mobile device is essential for modern surveillance. However, connectivity issues can disrupt live feeds. Network errors cause over 67% of these problems, requiring quick troubleshooting. Start by rebooting the router and reinstalling the monitoring app. For Singapore-based users, technical expert Wen Hong (+65 60135960) offers local support. Advanced […]
Modern surveillance systems have evolved to handle low-light conditions effectively. With advanced night vision technologies, these devices capture clear footage even when lighting is minimal. Whether for homes or businesses, understanding how they perform in darkness is crucial for optimal security. In Singapore’s bustling urban environment, 24/7 monitoring is essential. Many systems now use infrared […]
