Myth #3 says CCTV works perfectly at night

BUT

Fact is ,Not all cameras perform well in low light.
True performance depends on:

_ Infrared range
- Sensor quality
- ColorVu / full-color night tech (on higher-end systems)
- Lighting surrounding area.

Cheap cameras often give poor night footage.

Myth number 2 says, Higher megapixels = better security

Fact:
Resolution matters, but it’s not everything.
Factors like lens quality, positioning, lighting, bitrate, and storage matter just as much—sometimes more—than megapixels. A camera installed in a place with growing foliage can make views obstructed and the same goes for a CCTV that is not well maintaned.

This week we tackle the common and spoken about myths about CCTV security systems and today is myth number 1 :

Myth: CCTV cameras prevent all crime

Fact:
CCTV is a strong deterrent—but not a guarantee.
It reduces risk, captures evidence, and improves response time, but layered security (alarms, sensors, access control) is what truly protects a property.

If you have any other myth you know or have heard of, mention it in comment section.

4) Myth: Motion sensors are only helpful indoors.
Fact: Many people believe motion sensors are solely intended for indoor use. However, outdoor motion sensors are widely available and designed to withstand various weather conditions. These sensors are crucial for outdoor security, as they can detect and alert homeowners about suspicious activity around the perimeter of their property, providing an added layer of protection.

Myth: Motion sensors are easily fooled by environmental factors and pets.

Fact: A misconception that motion sensors can be easily fooled by environmental factors such as moving curtains, plants, or shadows and sometimes even pets. While it is true that certain environmental conditions and pets can cause false alarms on certain brands, modern motion sensors are equipped with advanced algorithms that can distinguish between humans, pets, large animals and environmental changes. They are designed to analyze movement patterns, speed, duration, size and weight ensuring accurate detection and minimizing false alarms.

A lot of people have myths that they think are valid but are not true. today we tackle 2 of them

1) Myth: Motion sensors are triggered by any movement

Fact: One common misconception is that motion sensors are sensitive to any movement, including pets or inanimate objects. However, modern motion sensors are designed to differentiate between the movements of humans and other sources. They employ various technologies like passive infrared (PIR), microwave, or dual technology to detect the unique heat signatures and patterns associated with human movement, thereby minimizing false alarms.

2) Myth: Motion sensors can’t detect intruders in the dark.

Fact: Some believe motion sensors are ineffective in low-light or dark environments. However, many motion sensors now come equipped with infrared technology, known as “night vision.” These sensors can detect changes in heat signatures even in complete darkness, ensuring accurate detection and reliable security regardless of the lighting conditions.
