Locate the prime location for installation. Place the camera in a strategic spot, such as near the cash register, server room, main door, back door, stock room, lobby or hallway. The best spots are high-traffic areas or places that give access to sensitive, proprietary information or expensive items.

Decide where to install the brackets on which you will position the camera. If the brackets don't come with the camera, purchase them from a hardware store. Be sure the brackets are placed close enough to a power source.

Set the angle of view. To do this, start at the object or spot you wish to view and walk in a straight line along the angle at which you wish to view it. When you reach a surface where you can mount the camera, look for a convenient spot to put it.

Hold the mounting bracket against the wall or the ceiling. Use a pencil to mark the points on the wall or ceiling where the holes should be. Take the bracket away from the surface, and use a drill to make holes as marked by the pencil. Use a screw driver to screw the bracket into the wall, and then attach the camera.
