How to Properly Mount a Wired Security Camera?

Installing a security camera for a wired setup requires attaching the camera mounts and running the cables from the camera to the DVR box, following your layout plan.

  1. To begin, use the mounting template as a guide and drill pilot holes for the mounting screws.
  2. Using a spade bit, drill a larger hole in the center of the guide. This hole will be where the cables will exit.
  3. Next, run the security camera cables through the camera mount point and behind the wall, using your plan as a guide, until you reach the mounting point for the DVR box. In tight spots or when running the cables behind the wall, fish tape can be utilized to help feed the cables safely. It may be necessary to have a helper during this stage of the installation process.

Ensuring that all components of your wired security camera setup are correctly connected is critical in achieving optimal surveillance coverage. By following these steps and planning appropriately, you can ensure that your security cameras are mounted securely and cabled properly for optimal performance.
