In a world with increasing concern for security and surveillance, installing security cameras has become an essential step in protecting individuals and property. However, the installation process is not just “plug and play”; it requires precise planning and technical knowledge to avoid mistakes that could compromise your entire security system.

This brief guide from PIXEL For Supplies provides the necessary steps to design and install your surveillance system, while highlighting the common errors made by many.

Firstly: Essentials for Successful Installation

1. Planning and Location Selection

• Identify primary weak points (entrances and exits).
• Mount cameras at a minimum height of 3 meters to prevent tampering.
• Avoid any visual obstructions that might block the field of view.

2. Choosing the Camera and Resolution

• For Outdoors: Select weather-resistant cameras (IP66) with powerful night vision.
• For Clarity: Rely on cameras of at least 4 Megapixels or 4K to clearly capture face details and license plates.
• Connectivity: It is preferable to use PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology to minimize cabling and simplify installation.

3. Setup and Protection

• Place the recording device (NVR/DVR) in a secure and protected location.
• Ensure all cables are routed through protective conduits to safeguard them from external damage.

Secondly: Common Security Mistakes to Avoid

• Neglecting Software and Firmware Updates.
• Incomplete Coverage Zones (Blind Spots).
• Using Weak Passwords.
• Aiming the Camera Directly at Bright Light.
