Phone’s speed and Bandwidth.
Of course, if you are reading this post then you are fascinated about CCTV systems in Kenya hence may be you are considering having one of this at your business or home. So in order for you to receive live video feeds, you need to keep your phone’s speed and bandwidth in mind. Older phones might not be compatible with these systems but good news is most new smartphone models can support the content.

Availability of Surveillance app on Marketplace
In most cases, you will be asked to download an app in order to access your security information and live feeds. Make sure you confirm if that app is available on Google play store prior to the purchase. At times you will find that the content is only supported on Apple and Android products. (Note: CCTV companies in Kenya provides surveillance systems that have apps for Android, Apple and Blackberries).

Data use and capacity

The final consideration is on your phone data plan. If you are that subscriber of Safaricom’s kabambe data plan then this CCTV equipment in Kenya option is not for you, just get a dog or a parrot. Video streaming eats through data quickly than other activities (whatsapp, email and web browsing). I would suggest reviewing your data plan as it is likely to increase with remote video surveillance.
