As technology continues to advance, so does need for security cameras in both homes and businesses. With crime rates on rise, it's essential to safeguard your property and loved ones with installation of a security camera system. Although task may seem daunting, following these steps will make process a breeze.
The first step in installation process is to determine type of camera system you want to use. There are two primary types of security cameras; wired and wireless. Wired cameras are connected directly to a recording device through a cable. Wireless cameras, on other hand, operate through a wireless network and require no cables. Wireless cameras are typically easier to install but may not provide same level of quality as their wired counterparts.
Next, you'll need to decide where to place your cameras. Common areas include entryways, hallways, and high traffic areas. It's important to avoid placing cameras in areas that may infringe on privacy of your neighbors. Also, ensure that cameras are not obstructed by anything that may block their field of view.
Once you've decided where you want to place your cameras, it's time to install them. For a wired camera, you'll need to drill a hole in wall to run cable from camera to recording device. For a wireless camera, you'll only need to mount it to wall or ceiling with a set of screws. If you're not comfortable drilling holes, it's best to hire a professional to do job for you.
After mounting your cameras, you'll need to connect them to recording device. For a wired system, you'll need to connect cable from camera to recording device. For a wireless system, you'll need to connect camera to your wireless network.
Once everything is connected, it's time to test your cameras. Check to ensure that each camera is capturing footage correctly and that picture quality is at desired level. If there are any issues, troubleshoot them until everything is working correctly.
Finally, it's essential to ensure your security camera system is secure from potential hackers. Change default username and password on recording device and ensure that your wireless network is secure with a strong password.
In conclusion, installing a security camera system doesn't have to be a daunting task. By following these steps, you can ensure your property and loved ones are well protected. Remember to choose right camera system, place your cameras strategically, connect everything correctly, test your cameras, and secure your system from potential hackers.
