CCTV for showrooms
A showroom needs the entrance covered off-axis to the glass frontage, the display floor, the deal desk or counter, and the outside display and parking overnight. Glass and strong daylight are the technical problem; a 4-channel 4MP IP system from around PKR 110,000 keeps face-level detail on the floor.

Glass frontage means backlight
A camera facing a glass front records silhouettes against the street. The entrance camera mounts off to one side, looking along the door line rather than at it, with wide dynamic range enabled. Blue Area and markaz showrooms take hard afternoon sun off the road, and this one positioning decision decides whether entry footage is usable at all.
The deal desk records the paperwork
Where prices are agreed, tokens are taken and cash changes hands deserves continuous recording through opening hours, for the same reason a shop till does. A vehicle or furniture showroom's disputes are about deposits and delivery promises, and a clear frame of the desk settles most of them.
Stock that sleeps outside
Bikes, generators, tiles and display furniture left on the apron overnight need their own camera with genuine night performance and a modest floodlight — the pairing costs less than upgrading the camera alone. Thirty days of retention covers the claim cycle, and the outside camera is the one that earns its drive space.
What CCTV does a showroom need?
Why does our entrance camera show only outlines?
It is pointed at the glass. Re-aiming off-axis and enabling wide dynamic range usually fixes it without new hardware — a common finding on repair callouts, which start from PKR 3,000.
Is 2MP enough for a showroom floor?
For wide coverage, yes; for recognising faces across a deep floor, 4MP earns its cost. Mixing the two — 4MP at the entrance and desk, 2MP elsewhere — is the sensible budget.
Rather have it done?
Business CCTV is built around the counter, the entrance, the stock area and the back door, with storage long enough to catch problems you only notice at stocktake. Systems for Islamabad marts, pharmacies, schools and offices start at PKR 85,000, and can tie into access control and your point of sale.
