Video surveillance systems require careful planning to be effective, from choosing the right camera types to ensuring proper installation and customer training.
• Understanding what the customer needs to see is the first crucial step in system design
• Balance feature-rich performance with budget considerations and storage limitations
• Select appropriate cameras with proper IP ratings for your environmental conditions
• Always use a back box when mounting exterior cameras to prevent water ingress
• CAT 6 plenum cabling provides future-proofing benefits for surveillance systems
• Proper cable termination and testing is essential before camera installation
• Format NVRs correctly, as they don't automatically begin recording
• Create detailed documentation showing camera locations and identifications
• Build in 2-3 hours of customer training for every system installation
• Focus on customer service and make clients feel taken care of throughout the process
