Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the best CCTV camera supplier in Chennai?

Judge it on whether the supplier can specify the whole chain rather than just the camera — the PoE switch, the cabling, the recorder channels and the disk all have to be sized against each other, and on whether anyone is still answering the phone after handover. Star Networking Services has supplied and installed CCTV and networking in Chennai since 1998, 27+ years, across more than 300 projects, stocking CP Plus, Hikvision and TP-Link with bulk pricing, GST invoicing, annual maintenance contracts and 24×7 technical support.

Which CCTV camera is best for a home?

For most homes, four to eight cameras covering the gate, main door, driveway and rear approach, with about a week of retention. Use a bullet at the gate where you need to identify a face or a number plate, and domes under the eaves for general coverage. Wi-Fi models are worth considering where running cable would mean chasing walls.

Which CCTV camera is best for an office?

IP cameras on a PoE switch, because an office usually already has Cat6 in the building and adding cameras to it costs less than any other route. Cover the entrance, reception, server room and floor. Spend identification resolution at the entrance and the server room door; the open floor only needs to show that something moved.

What is the difference between IP CCTV and analog CCTV?

An IP camera sends video over the same network as everything else and takes power from a PoE switch on that one Cat6 run, with remote viewing built in. Analog sends video over coaxial cable to a DVR and needs power run separately. New installations are almost entirely IP; analog still makes sense where coax is already in the walls and replacing it would mean opening them.

Is Cat6 required for IP CCTV?

Cat6 is the practical standard for IP CCTV. Cat5e will carry the video, but the full-size conductor in quality Cat6 limits voltage drop on PoE runs and reduces heat where cables are bundled in a tray — which matters on long runs and dense trays. Either way the permanent link is limited to 90 metres, with 100 metres of channel including patch cords.

What is a PoE CCTV camera?

A camera that takes both its network connection and its power from one Ethernet cable, supplied by a PoE switch, so no separate power run or adapter is needed at the camera. Standard PoE (802.3af) delivers 15.4 W at the port and suits fixed dome and bullet cameras; PoE+ (802.3at) delivers 30 W and is what PTZ models with motors require.

How much does CCTV installation cost in Chennai?

It depends on the specification rather than the camera count alone. The cost drivers are resolution, camera type, brand, lens and infrared range, AI features, NVR channels, surveillance disk capacity, PoE switch capacity, and the cabling and rack. As a reference, our cameras run from around Rs 3,100 for a 4MP Wi-Fi unit to Rs 50,000 at the top of the range, with fixed 4MP dome and bullet models between roughly Rs 3,400 and Rs 4,400. Send the position list or a floor plan for a figure that will hold.

Do you supply CCTV cameras in bulk?

Yes. Share your BOQ, required camera quantity, preferred brand, camera specifications and project requirements, and we will quote line by line with availability. Bulk orders carry volume pricing and GST invoicing, and can be despatched in phases against a project schedule.

Which CCTV camera brands do you supply in Chennai?

We stock CP Plus, Hikvision and TP-Link — covering dome, bullet, IP bullet, PTZ, Wi-Fi, 4G, dual lens and pan/tilt models. We supply genuine product with manufacturer warranty terms, and do not substitute brands without telling you.

Do you supply the switches, cabling and rack along with the cameras?

Yes. We supply PoE switches, Cat6 cable, jacks, patch cords, racks and PDUs alongside the cameras, so the whole installation comes from one supplier on one quote rather than being assembled from several. Our team also supports product selection, specification and configuration for the installation.

Do you provide CCTV installation and maintenance?

Yes to both. Alongside supply we carry out installation, structured and network cabling, fiber splicing, and testing and certification, with consultancy, BOQ and project management on larger rollouts. After handover we offer annual maintenance contracts covering preventive visits, camera and NVR checks, disk replacement, network troubleshooting and recording verification, backed by 24×7 emergency restoration.

How many CCTV cameras does my shop or office need?

Work from what each position has to identify rather than from a camera count. Entrances, tills and gates need enough resolution to recognise a face or a number plate; corridors and open floors only need to show that something moved. Walk the site, note the question each position answers, and the count follows from that list.

Is 4MP resolution enough for CCTV?

For commercial sites, yes. 4MP gives enough detail to identify a face at an entrance or a number plate at a gate, which is why almost everything we stock is 4MP. Going higher raises the bitrate and therefore the disk you need, so it is worth spending only where identification actually matters.

Which PoE switch do I need for my CCTV cameras?

Size it on the switch total PoE budget, not just its per-port rating. A fixed 4MP camera draws 4 to 8 W, more at night with infrared on. For sixteen cameras, budget around 128 W of draw plus roughly 10% cable loss and 20% headroom, so look for a total budget near 170 W. PTZ models with motors need PoE+ at 30 W per port.

How far can a CCTV camera be from the switch?

An IP camera link follows the same Ethernet limit as any other: 90 metres of permanent cable, 100 metres of channel including patch cords. Beyond that you need a fiber run with a media converter, or a switch positioned closer to the cameras.

What is the difference between dome, bullet and PTZ cameras?

Dome cameras suit discreet indoor monitoring with wide coverage, bullet cameras are visible and directional for perimeters and gates where deterrence helps, and PTZ cameras pan, tilt and zoom to cover a yard or warehouse floor from one mounting point instead of several fixed units.
