Type of Equipment Needed: camera, DVR, Video cable and power line. The following will be the steps:
1.Choose the best places for the camera installation, This will depend on where you need coverage, generally will choose the place close to the front and back doors or the corner of the rooms.
2.After confirming of the camera and place, if you use the wired CCTV system, then need to arrange the cable and make sure they are powered. After running the line, you need to designate a place for the monitor and DVR to be placed. This can be anywhere in the home, but most people choose to place it in a home office or bedroom.
3.Once all is confirmed, the most important step is the installation for the camera, take the camera and do not touch the camera lens by hands, use the electric drill etc..tools to fix the camera with the bracket and adjust the direction that you would like to let the camera point to.
