Setting Up a Home Surveillance CCTV System

You have probably watched videos online from where someone caught a funny, cringingly awkward, or serious incident on camera and shared online.  While you should not expect to coincidentally film the next viral video, you may be interested in setting up home surveillance for your own protection.  Here are a few of the parts you will need to set up your own personal CCTV.

What Are the Basic Steps You Need to Take to Prepare and Set Up a CCTV System?

Before you figure out what equipment you will need for your home or small business security system there are a few steps you should take to make sure that you maximize

  • Map It - Sit down and map out your house and which areas you want to have cameras pointing at for monitoring.  Some areas to consider are all exterior doors, off-street windows, the large common spaces like the living room, driveways, porches, and stairways.
  • Check It - Once you know where you want the cameras, physically check that where you put the camera would have no obstacles or blind spots within the normal range of the camera lens.
  • Measure It - Measure the distance between where the cameras will go and where the required cables will terminate. You want to make sure that you order enough wire.

What Considerations Go into Wiring Your Home for CCTV Security?

If you decided to go with a non-wireless 12V camera system, you may need to obtain additional cabling to hook up the cameras that you bought.  Here are a few of the cable and connectors you will need to make a fully operational CCTV system that integrates to you existing home electronics. There are a lot of options to wade through, but you can find the cables you need at a good price.

  • Cables - You can connect your security cameras to you DVR's using one of the following two kinds of cables: Plug and Play (PnP) or RG59 Coax Siamese cables. RG59 cables have stronger shielding that PnP cables. Another advantage to RG59 is that you can get them custom cut to the length that you need.
  • BNC Connectors - BNC connectors help you adapt your home electronics like an RCA DVR to the coaxial cables coming from your cameras. They have either two female ends or two male ends. If you are using a PnP cable, you will need to use an RCA to BNC connector to each end of the Video RCA (yellow plug).
  • Splitters - When setting up your CCTV system, it is helpful to install splitters where ever cables will diverge to connect different cameras.
