The most expensive mistakes are visual

  • A camera is mounted before its recorded view is tested.
  • One wide camera is expected to identify everything.
  • Night performance is never checked.
  • Bright sky occupies most of the image.

Protect the physical installation

  • Enclose exterior terminations.
  • Use the correct mount and fasteners.
  • Separate low-voltage cabling from hazards.
  • Label both ends of every run.

Finish the software setup

Correct time, recording, users, alerts, mobile access, and retention should be verified before the system is considered complete.
