How to Install a Video Surveillance Camera in a Private Business

Surveillance cameras are a great way to keep track of inventory and keep a private business safe from unsavory visitors. These systems are relatively inexpensive considering the positive aspects of having them installed. Businesses can opt to either have these systems installed professionally or owners can install the system themselves.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Surveillance camera system
• Drill
• Screwdriver

1. Purchase the video surveillance camera system from a reputable dealer. Knowing the system will work is great insurance against cheap surveillance camera systems.
2. Locate a place within the private business to install the camera. Many businesses prefer to mount the camera either facing the entryway or facing towards the point of sale area. This covers the exit, as well as those approaching the counter or sales area.
3. Understand the laws regarding what recordings can and can't be admissible in court. A good business lawyer will advise the owner on such matters.
4. Mount the camera using the supplied hardware and brackets. The included instructions walk the installer through the procedure of physical installation. Most systems attach to a wall stud using a drill or screwdriver. The surveillance camera connects to a recording device either by cable or wirelessly.
5. Point the surveillance video camera to an area in the private business where most people pass by or walk through. This allows the private business owner the opportunity to screen all customers or even employees.
6. Consider installing a weatherproof surveillance video camera system and install it outside of the private business to monitor those coming and going.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep the video camera from recording anywhere near dressing rooms, bathrooms or other sensitive areas.
• Store all of the recordings on a hard drive system if possible to make playback and searches much easier.
