1. Select a high and wide angle for your Camera.

The best angle in any space normally is pointing down from the corner where the roof meets the walls. Make sure you can clearly see the inputs and outputs and has an outlet near the camera. If you are installing a Outdoor Camera, place about 3 m (10 ft) high so they cannot easily knock it down.

Some cameras come with adhesive pads to stick on the wall, but the safest long-term is screwing mount the cameras. Although all cameras are different, almost all they can be mounted in the same way:

• Place the bracket in the best location.
• Using a marker, make marks on the wall, just in the places where each screw goes.
• Make a hole for each screw using a drill.
• Hit with the hammer molding pins.
• Screw mounting on the wall.
• Place the camera pointing at the desired angle.

Surveillance equipment is connected using a BNC connector (Bayonet Neill-Concelman).
