What to prepare for a CCTV cabling project

Installer and site contact reviewing a camera location beside a loading bay

Map camera locations

Mark each position and the area it should cover. Note mounting height, access restrictions and routes back to the network closet.

Confirm the equipment

List each model, whether it draws Power over Ethernet, and the recorder or video platform. Have the site team verify device compatibility and any procurement requirements.

Plan installation and acceptance

Agree on which party checks framing, connectivity and recording at handoff. Provide a camera ID and switch port for each location.
