When planning for your client’s new security system, the most important thing you’re going to want to take into consideration is how the client wants to view their cameras. The client has a couple different options:

  • Local Viewing

    • Easiest to plan for.

    • Requires no network connection.

    • Viewed on a device connected to the same network that the NVR is on.

  • Remote Viewing

    • More difficult to plan for.

    • Requires a network connection.

    • Viewed on any device that is connected to the internet.

Setting up your system:

Step 1: Plugging Everything in and Mounting the Cameras

Part A: Bench test all equipment - Before mounting and installing your cameras, you want to make sure all the cameras are working and that you are happy with your purchase.

To bench test grab a known working, pre-made cable, and plug it into your NVR (Or DVR & power if TVI). This will help narrow down any issues with cabling or cameras in the future.

Part B: Plug in your cameras and your recorder.

  • This takes care of the Local Viewing option. Now you should be able to view your camera system on any pc, monitor that is networked to the NVR.
  • No labels
