Document the site
- Mark camera locations and desired views.
- Identify the recorder and network location.
- Trace accessible cable pathways.
- Note ceiling types, wall materials, and exterior penetrations.
Coordinate operations
Plan access to locked rooms, lifts, ladders, alarmed doors, customer areas, and work that may create dust or temporary closures.
Prepare the network
Confirm where the recorder connects, who controls the router, and who can authorize remote access and mobile accounts.
