Slightly off topic and something I read from somewhere else, but make sure whatever you use can write the date & time onto the camera images, otherwise it isn’t usable for any police / insurance claims.

I’d guess all systems do this now, but just wanted it to be on your checklist of features.

If the camera doesn’t do it, then the storage server must.

(And make sure the clock is sync’d to something 😉)

Weird. I mean, could you just access the properties of said picture to reveal the date taken?

    Sure, but the same is true for embedded timestamps. Just put a black bar over it with the time and date in white. Claim that the system does it that way, done.

    If the timestamps on the current live cctv image looks completely different, then you’re out of luck using it as evidence.
    
    After all, it’s your video evidence, why would you want to fake it if you’re trying to prove that someone stole that Amazon parcel off your front door step…
