Segment 04 / 07
CCTV system for a restaurant
Till, bar, kitchen, storage. Recordings that hold up for complaints or stock checks.
Typical project
What a realistic CCTV system for a restaurant looks like.
The figures below are an indicative range for this type of property, not statistics from completed jobs: we do not have reference projects yet (see the References section on the homepage). Your situation will differ; the range is a good starting point for a first conversation.
6 - 12
cameras for a restaurant with 60 - 120 seats
4K
resolution at the till and bar for detail readability
14 - 30 days
retention period - typical range for venues
1 - 2 days
installation outside opening hours
Camera placement
- ● Till and bar (cash and dispensing control)
- ● Guest entrance and staff entrance
- ● Kitchen (subject to internal policy and health-and-safety rules)
- ● Food and beverage storage
- ● Outdoor terrace or garden
Technology
Our standard is UniFi Protect.
In hospitality we mainly deal with heat and steam resistance from the kitchen and detail readability at the till. UniFi Protect handles both and adds encrypted storage on the venue's own network.
Alternatives:
Dahua / Ajax (for smaller venues with a limited budget - we explain transparently what that means for recording quality)
- 01 Cameras resistant to heat and humidity from kitchen operation
- 02 Encrypted storage, access limited to venue management
- 03 Timestamp and clip export for complaints or insurance claims
- 04 AI motion detection at the till and storage area
- 05 Mobile viewing for owners with several venues
Process
Consultation, design, installation, service. Fixed price after the second step.
We often inspect venues outside opening hours so it does not disrupt service. After the inspection (free of charge, within 7 days) comes a written proposal with a fixed price.
Detailed description of the process →Frequently asked questions
Before you contact us.
- Can we put cameras in the kitchen where staff work?
- Yes, but this is employee monitoring under Section 316 of the Labour Code - it must be justified, transparent and staff must be informed in advance. We discuss the scope before installation.
- Does the recording serve as evidence for a food complaint or theft?
- Yes, that is the most common use - an exported clip with a timestamp.
- Can I see the recording from several venues at once?
- Yes, multi-site management in a single app if you run several restaurants.
- Will the camera handle steam and heat from the kitchen?
- Yes, we choose housings and placement resistant to humidity and temperature swings.
- How much does it cost?
- It depends on the number of cameras, venue type and retention. After the consultation you receive a fixed price by email, not an estimate. Consultation and design are free of charge.
