INSTALL CAMERAS
Video surveillance laws vary from state to state. Check local regulations to be
sure you are operating in a legal manner.
Installation Tips
•
When selecting an outside location for your cameras, keep in mind that most
cameras are designed to operate between 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°C) with a
relative humidity of up to 95%. Avoid installing cameras in direct sunlight, and
consider wind chill and other environmental factors, too.
•
Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach. Route the wiring
so it does not interfere with power or telephone/cable lines and it should not
be where it could be easily cut. Create a plan for camera wire routing and for
camera angle.
•
Adjust the camera angle so that it covers an area with high traffic as needed.
In “high-risk” locations, have more than one camera cover the same area. This
provides camera redundancy if a vandal attempts to damage a camera.
