Computer AccessoriesHow to Plan a Simple Hotel Surveillance Layout
Planning a reliable hotel CCTV system doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right approach, you can create a clear, effective layout that keeps your guests, staff, and property safe — without unnecessary complexity or cost.
Identify Key Areas
Start by listing all areas that need coverage. For a basic hotel surveillance layout, focus on:
- Main entrances and exits: Cover every entry point to monitor who comes and goes.
- Reception and lobby: These high-traffic areas must always be monitored.
- Hallways and guest room corridors: Place cameras at the start and end of each corridor for clear footage.
- Elevators and stairwells: These are common blind spots — a camera near each lift or stairwell helps cover them.
- Parking lots and outdoor spaces: Protect vehicles and exterior areas with weatherproof cameras.
- Back-of-house areas: Monitor service entrances, loading bays, and staff-only zones.
Choose the Right Cameras
Select the right mix of cameras for each spot. Dome cameras are ideal for indoor hallways and lobbies because they’re discreet and offer wide coverage. Bullet or turret cameras work well outdoors for entrances and parking areas. For larger spaces, PTZ cameras help your staff zoom in and follow activity in real time.
Plan Camera Angles & Placement
Position cameras high enough to avoid tampering but angled to capture faces and activity clearly. Overlapping fields of view prevent blind spots. Avoid pointing cameras directly at bright windows or lights, which can affect image quality.
Connect to a Reliable NVR
Your cameras must link to a Network Video Recorder (NVR) that can handle the number of feeds you need. Place the NVR in a secure area, like an office or control room, with a monitor for live viewing and quick playback.
Think About Power & Network
Plan how each camera will get power and connect to the network. Many hotels use PoE (Power over Ethernet) cameras to simplify cabling. Add backup power (UPS) to keep your system running if there’s an outage.
Add Signs and Policies
Clear signs let guests know they’re under video surveillance — which helps prevent incidents. Also, make sure your team understands your hotel’s policy for storing and handling CCTV footage.
Final Tip
A simple hotel surveillance layout covers the essentials without gaps. As your needs grow, you can always add smart features, more cameras, or integrate access control for rooms and staff areas.
