Category: Analog and network IP CCTV installation

To install an analog CCTV system, start by assessing the area and determining the required number of cameras. Choose suitable cameras, a DVR, coaxial cables with BNC connectors, and power supplies. Create a layout for camera placement, DVR location, and cable routes. Securely mount the cameras, run the coaxial cables to the DVR, and connect the cameras to power sources. Attach the BNC connectors to the DVR, power it on, and configure recording and network settings. Verify the camera feeds and adjust as needed.

For an IP CCTV system, assess the area and select the necessary IP cameras, NVR, PoE switch (if using PoE cameras), Ethernet cables, and power supplies if not using PoE. Plan the layout for camera placement, NVR location, and cable routes. Mount the cameras, run Ethernet cables to a PoE switch or directly to the NVR, and connect cameras to power if not using PoE. Connect the NVR to the network and power it on. Configure the NVR settings according to the manual. Ensure all camera feeds are clear and adjust as necessary.

Install and configure monitoring software for computer or mobile devices, and set up remote access. Regularly check camera functionality, recording, and storage, and keep firmware updated. Tools needed include a drill and screws, coaxial cables with BNC connectors for analog systems, Ethernet cables for IP systems, power adapters or a PoE switch, a monitor, and network equipment. Follow manufacturer instructions, manage cables properly, and securely fasten all mounts. These steps ensure successful installation and configuration of analog and IP CCTV systems.
