How To Install Security Cameras in Your Home ?
Installing security cameras in your home can be a great way to enhance
safety and provide peace of mind. Here’s a general guide on
how to install security cameras:
Plan Your Camera Placement: Determine the areas of your home you want to monitor and identify the best locations for your cameras. Consider entry points, blind spots, and areas of high traffic.
Choose the Right Cameras: Select the type of cameras that best suit your needs. Options include wired or wireless, indoor or outdoor, and features like night vision, motion detection, and remote access.
Gather Necessary Equipment: Depending on your camera system, you may need cameras, a digital video recorder (DVR) or network video recorder (NVR), cables (if using wired cameras), power adapters, mounting hardware, and a monitor or smartphone for viewing.
Install the Cameras:
- For wired cameras: Mount the cameras securely using the provided hardware. Run cables from each camera to the DVR/NVR location, ensuring they are hidden or protected from damage.
- For wireless cameras: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to connect the cameras to your Wi-Fi network. Mount them securely in the desired locations.
- Ensure cameras are positioned at the proper angle for optimal coverage.
Connect Cameras to DVR/NVR: If using a wired system, connect the cameras to the DVR/NVR using the appropriate cables. For wireless systems, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to pair the cameras with the recorder.
Set Up Recording: Configure your DVR/NVR to record footage based on your preferences. This may include continuous recording, scheduled recording, or motion-triggered recording.
7. Adjust Settings: Configure camera settings such as resolution, motion sensitivity, and alerts according to your preferences.
8. Test the System: Once everything is set up, test the cameras to ensure they are functioning properly. Verify that you can view live footage and access recorded footage from your DVR/NVR or smartphone.
9. Secure Access: If accessing your cameras remotely, ensure your network and camera system are secure. Use strong passwords, enable encryption, and regularly update firmware to protect against cyber threats.
10. Regular Maintenance: Periodically check your cameras for proper functioning, clean lenses as needed, and ensure cables are secure. Update firmware and software to keep your system secure and up to date.
11. Legal Considerations: Familiarize yourself with any legal regulations regarding surveillance cameras in your area, including privacy laws and restrictions on recording audio.
If you’re unsure about any aspect of the installation process, consider consulting a professional installer for assistance.
Placing Cameras With Hubs
- For cameras that require a hub, place the camera within an appropriate distance from the hub so that it smoothly connects over Wi-Fi or another form of connectivity. For example, the Blink XT2 must be within 100 feet of the Sync Modules to connect through the Blink Home app.
- If the camera doesn’t come with a hub, make sure that it’s close enough to the router or range extender to get a decent internet connection and speed.
- If all else fails, buy a range extender to extend the Wi-Fi.
Placing Indoor Security Cameras
- It’s preferable to put indoor security cameras on the first floor of your home.
- If you have more than one story, try to put cameras in common spaces like the main hallway or living room. In such circumstances, you are more likely to capture criminals’ faces, making it easier to bring them to justice.
- Place a camera right outside the master bedroom, as this is where valuables are most often kept.
- Mount the camera out of reach, so an intruder (or even a mischievous tween) can’t easily break or disarm it. This is especially important with cameras that keep their footage on a memory card inside the camera. Basically, any place that burglars can access via doors or windows should be covered.
- For the widest possible field of view, place cameras in corners.
- Also, put cameras on stairs to track burglars within your house.
However, we don’t recommend putting security cameras in bedrooms or bathrooms, as this can greatly compromise privacy and is illegal in some states. Keep in mind that most indoor cameras don’t work through glass, as it blocks heat-based motion detection. If you want to monitor the outside of your home, the solution is simple: There are many weather-resistant outdoor cameras available, which brings us to our next point.
