H.264 Video Surveillance System Setup Guide

SECTION 2: GETTING STARTED: UNPACKING THE EQUIPMENT

What you need

Although each security system installation is different, most require the following items not included with your system
components:

•

Tools to install the cameras and route power and video cables

•

Fasteners to attach the cameras to the mounting surfaces

•

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) recommended. This device is used to ensure system stability during voltage surges, sags,
and outages. If a UPS is not available, a power strip with strong surge protection is highly recommended.
