    This document provides guidance on installing CCTV cameras. It recommends planning the installation, having the proper tools like drills and bits, and ensuring cables are oriented correctly. Common issues discussed include not having enough light, covering too large an area with one camera, and poor weather affecting image quality. Diagrams show basic single and multiple camera wiring configurations using coaxial cable connected to a power supply and monitor. Professional installations require cutting and terminating power cables at the supply.

    Plan your installation thoroughly, get help if needed, and have all materials ready before starting. Position cameras to capture the area of interest and avoid trying to cover too much.

    A power drill, long drill bits, screwdrivers, hammer, ladder, cable clips and screws, junction boxes, raw plugs.

    Use a coat hanger, cable rod or garden cane taped to the cable to pull it through holes. This prevents cables from falling in cavities. Use junction boxes to connect and protect cables.

    BE ORE VOU BEGIN INSTAllATION

    Plan your installation, it will take longer than you may imagine. Work out the best
    way to run the cables back to the CCTV DVR recorder or your power source
    before you commence installation.
    Ensure you have the right tools for the job: you will need a good drill, long drill bits
    that are capable of drilling through masonory if you are planning on feeding the
    cables through brick work. The drill bits will also have to be wide enough to allow
    the ends ofthe cable to flt through. If you are using our premade cables we would
    recommend a minimum of 12mm.
    If you are using our readymade SNC to SNC with power cables ensure you have
    them the right way around. i.e the male DC jack should be at the camera end.

    DO's&DONTs
    ESSENTlAl THINOS TO REMEMBER WHEN INSlIWNG CCII

    Read this document in its entirety


    prior to commencing installation. We
    have produced this guide to help you
    with com mon issues and problems
    experienced during a first installation.
    Get help from a com pete nt person,
    electrician or security installer if you
    don't feel competent to complete the
    installation.
    Have everything ready before you
    start and plan your installation well. It
    will save you time in the Ion g run.
    Use a CCTV test monitor - to help
    position and focus the camera's

    least a 5-50 adjustable lens.


    Leave cables and joints exposed to
    the elements - use a junction box to
    proteet from the damp.
    Cut ends off the cameras - as this will
    void the warranty.
    Be tempted to cover lots of sky - its
    not important! Position your camera to
    capture the area of interest.

    Be realistic! Don't expect to cover a


    large property properly with only a
    few cameras, you may need more
    than you think. Cameras ean not
    see everything!

    Try to cover too much with one


    camera as the more you cover the
    lower your definition will beo

    Select a long range van-focal camera


    if you want to cover a specific object
    or an entrance that is quite far from
    your cameras position.

    Install a CCTV DVR in a bedroom or


    quiet area as they generally make a
    noise caused by the cooling fans and
    continual rotation ofthe HDD.

    ESSENTlAllTEMS REQIIRED
    Raw plugs, Junction boxes, cable clips, screws, Power Drill, Drill bits, Screwdrivers
    hammer, ladder. Spare power sockets to connect your equipment, minimum of 2.

    If using a drum of RG59 you will also need: RG59 SNC crimping tool, RG59 cable
    cutter, SNC crimps, DC jacks (these pi ug into the cameras & have terminal blocks
    for the power cable) & its useful to have wire snips.

    INSTAllAT ON IDVlCE & TIPS

    Use a metal coat hanger, cable rod or even a thin garden cane to help get the
    cable through the wall. Fasten the cable with tape to the rod and push in to the hole.
    This will save hours of time as it prevents the cable falling down the cavity!
    Use junction boxes to connect the cables, use DC jacks to connect to the cameras
    if wiring professionally using RG59+2 cable.
    Use a CCTV test monitor to set up the cameras extemally as its so much easier
    than going backwards and forwards to the monitor to check the image.
    Position cameras high enough to avoid vandalism. Work out which way is up and
    down on a camera before you mount it!

    ISSIESTHAT
    Low Light - There is no substitute for good lighting, the more light you have the
    bette r the image! Its simple, if its dark, add a security light or a dawn till dusk lamp.
    Even IR cameras love light, the brighter the bette r your system will perform.
    Trying to cover too much with one camera or positioning the camera too far away
    from the subject.
    Poor weather - image quality is affected by rain, fog & low temperatures.
    Choice of Monitor - this is one of the areas that is ofte n overlooked but can have
    the greatest effect on image quality. A traditional CRT TV screen or proper CCTV
    monitor will generally give the best results, especially in low light. Unless the DVR
    is specifically designed for VGA.
    Not enough power, ensure you don 't add too many cameras to the circuit, too little
    amps will result in image loss especially when IRs come on in lower light.
