Installing Your System
1. Camera installation
1.1. Camera placement
Field of view – Cameras must be positioned so they can effectively view the entire area that
must be monitored, and in a location that makes tampering with it difficult.
Lighting – Direct sunlight shining on the camera lens or bright reflections from shiny objects
in the field of view can diminish video quality and camera performance. Mount the camera in
shaded areas, if possible, or where these influences can be minimized.
Ease of installation – Must be able to install the camera at the location, considering
mounting hardware requirements, temperature, dust, moisture, etc.
1.2 Mounting
1. Using the camera bracket mounting assembly plate as a template, mark the location of
the holes for the mounting screws on the mounting surface.
2. Drill holes into the mounting surface for the mounting screws, wall inserts, or other
attachment hardware as needed.
3. If you are routing the video/power drop cable through the mounting surface, drill a hole
www.securitying.com
near the mounting plate for the drop cable.
4. Attach the mounting bracket to the mounting surface using appropriate fasteners.
5. Attach the camera with the mounting bracket.
6. Point the camera at your surveillance target, then tighten the lock nuts to hold it in place.
(Note: The direction the camera is pointing may need correction when video from the camera
is observed.)
7. Route the camera drop cable through the hole drilled for it in the mounting surface, if used.
If the camera is installed where moisture may accumulate on it, leave a “drip loop” in the
cable so that beads of water on the cable slide away from the camera and the drop cable
connectors.
8. Attach a video/power extension cable to the camera drop cable (see diagram below). Note:
When connecting the video cables, fully rotate the lock ring to hold them together.
9. Route the other end of the video/power extension cable to the DVR backpanel.
10. Repeat this procedure for all of the cameras you are installing.
2. Camera Cables and Connectors
When looking for a security solution for your home or business, it is important to spend time
researching which type of camera is best suited for your security needs. Not all camera cables
and connectors are the same.
There are three types of cables and connectors that are common in CCTV systems: BNC, DIN,
and RCA. This guide will help you learn about the advantages and disadvantages of BNC
connectors and cables.
2.1 BNC Connector
BNC is an abbreviation for Bayonet-Neil-Concelman. It is an industry standard for
www.securitying.com
transmitting a video signal over a coaxial cable. It features a unique locking mechanism to
ensure the cable is firmly secured to the DVR/monitor and will not come loose.
Advantages and Disadvantages of BNC
Advantages
Disadvantages
•
Industry standard for CCTV cameras
•
BNC cables are good for a distance of
300 ft. (depending on cable quality)
•
BNC cables lock in place, ensuring a
consistent image and no unwanted
disconnection
•
Requires a separate power source
•
Only transmits video
•
Does not support audio
2.2 BNC Extension Cable
Simply use the 60 ft BNC / Power Cable or the 120 ft BNC / Power Extension Cable.
BNC Extension Cable Connections
NOTE: It is possible to run a single coax cable with BNC termination over longer distances.
www.securitying.com
However, a power supply will be required near the camera.
3. DVR installation

3.2 DVR placement
Your monitoring and recording equipment is central to constant surveillance and the reliable
capture of video evidence. SecurityIng strongly suggests that it be installed in a secure
location with access limited to authorized personnel.
DVRs generate heat and should be placed in a ventilated area. A high temperature
environment will reduce the life span and reliability of the equipment. Additionally, the DVR
www.securitying.com
is not weatherproof, so avoid exposure to liquids and excessive dust. Do not place objects
along the sides or behind the DVR that will block airflow through the unit.
4. An example of connecting the system together(one of my CCTV systems)
All connections to the DVR are made on the back of the unit.
Any specific questions or problems, please contact us directly by email.
