Hardware installation
FortiCamera cameras can be mounted on walls or ceilings, in a variety of
lighting and weather. Connect the camera to your network via Power over
Ethernet (PoE).
For best results, choose a location where the cable can enter the wall or
ceiling directly behind the camera (i.e. it does not run outside, along the
surface), and where the camera is not easily reached. This deters vandals
from damaging the cables or covering the camera. For extra protection,
house the cables in conduit.
Caution:
In many countries, surveillance is restricted by law. Before
installing, if you are uncertain of applicable privacy/security laws, consult
your legal advisor.
