A Simple CCTV Installation Planning Checklist

Survey first

Document camera positions, cable routes, network points, power availability and recorder location before installation begins. A short survey prevents many avoidable changes later.

Protect the infrastructure

Use appropriate enclosures, cable protection and surge considerations for the environment. Recorders and network devices should be located in controlled areas.

Test before handover

Verify every camera view, recording schedule, timestamp, playback, remote access and user account. Handover should include basic user training and documentation.
