What distinguishes coverage of houses in Qatif?
A house in Qatif is not one unit with one door: a main family entrance, an entrance to the majlis, a yard door, and perhaps an annexe or a roof in use. Every one of these is a real point of entry, so covering the frontage alone leaves three doors without an eye. We start by counting all the entrances and then distribute — and the resulting number is often lower than expected, because a point placed correctly covers what two cameras in the wrong place cannot.
The majlis, the yard and the roof
The majlis is used at times when nobody else is home, the yard is the way into the house, and the roof is an entrance forgotten until it is used. We cover these three with angles that identify the face at the door rather than a general view of the courtyard.
Rest houses and farms
A rest house is away from the home and stands empty more than it is used, so what it needs is an alert rather than a recording reviewed later. We set the alerts on movement in the places that mean something, and we work with a weaker connection than the house has — the design assumes a possible outage rather than a permanent link.
Privacy towards the street and the neighbours
A camera that captures a neighbour’s door or the inside of their home is a problem before it is protection. We set the angle first, then apply privacy masks to whatever remains in frame, and we show you the final view before we leave.
How many cameras does a house in Qatif need?
We start from the number of entrances rather than the area: the family entrance, the majlis entrance, the yard door, and the roof if it is used. A house with two entrances and a yard differs from one with three entrances and an annexe — and we give you the number after the survey, not before.
Can I watch the rest house from home?
Yes, provided there is an acceptable connection at the rest house. Where the connection is weak we design around alerts and short clips instead of a continuous stream, so the benefit reaches you without depending on a link that cannot be relied on.
Why do outdoor cameras fail quickly here?
Humidity and salt. An unsealed connector corrodes from the inside and the link drops without any visible fault on the camera. Sealing the connections correctly is the difference between a system that runs for years and one that starts failing in its first.
