In today’s times it has become mandatory for premises to be security enabled. One of the most widely used tools which help establish security at a premise is a CCTV camera. If you are interested in installing security cameras we have listed below a few tips.
Planning Installation of the CCTV Camera
A vital aspect of CCTV camera installation in Perth is planning the entire process. First, find out the best spot for installing the camera and the DVR so that you can maximise the camera coverage while minimising the cable length. If you are trying to set it up inside a room pick a particular corner from where every entry or exit point will become visible. Remember to get a power socket installed nearby. However, if you are thinking of setting up the CCTV camera outdoors choose a spot which is higher and will cover maximum view from the entryway and garage.
Mount the Camera
Now, when it comes to placing the camera, take a marker and create markings for drilling. Drill the holes along the marks and hammer the screws accordingly. Make sure you are able to screw in the camera and place it firmly. Insert a power cable into the socket.
Positioning a DVR
The CCTV comprises a DVR where the hard disk of the surveillance system is located. All the recordings are stored inside the DVR. Hence it is vital that you secure the DVR in a compartment which should remain locked at all times. This safety measure should be undertaken to avoid prying eyes of an intruder who can anytime destroy the precious recordings.
Managing Cables of the System
Have you planned the pathways for the cables which connect the CCTV cameras with the DVR? Our experts will recommend you use wire mouldings which will help manage the cables and keep them safe. Make sure you nail every moulding along a path. Insert the surveillance wire inside.
Connecting the Wire
Last but not the least when you are planning to install CCTV in Perth remember to keep it connected with the help of the BNC port. Remove around 1.5cm of the exterior covering of a video cable as a result of which the braids will get exposed. Now slide the crimping barrel onto a cable which has a wider diameter and faces towards its end. Next, remove the insulator of the internal cable. Insert the exposed cable into a BNC port. Screw it up with the crimping barrel. This will help in securing the connection. Now, connect your DVR output port with the screen from where you want to receive the video feed.
Switch on the Power
The final step is switching on the camera followed by turning on the display as well as the DVR. Now, set-up your DVR as per the instructions mentioned on the user manual. Watch out for the camera feed and find out if it is working properly.
Since installation of a CCTV camera is a complicated process you can hire professionals who will impeccably perform the job and ensure seamless installation.
