Choosing the right CCTV camera system can feel overwhelming—there are countless options, each with different specs and advanced features. That’s very true with recently released CCTVs that come with a bunch of new technologies–you could be in for a very boring read.
With nearly 30 years of experience in installing and maintaining security systems, we at Rapid Alarms want to make your decision easier. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you find the best CCTV package for your home or business—no technical jargon, just clear, practical advice.

Dahua is the second-largest CCTV manufacturer worldwide, known for its high-performance cameras with amazing technology. They are packed with features at a more budget-friendly price.

- The Dahua 3649 is a more premium one with an 8 megapixel camera, plus the TiOC 2.0, which can switch from infrared to warm light when it detects intruders at night, so it sends out colour images when you need them and does not add to light pollution while improving your security. It also has an inbuilt speaker, so you can place it at your front door and it basically acts as your intercom.
- Ideal for homeowners and small businesses looking for affordable yet powerful security solutions.
