Before any security system is installed, a needs analysis should be carried out to ensure that the chosen system meets your requirements. During this study, carried out by an expert, several elements must be determined:
- Strategic areas to be monitored,
- Type of cameras/sensors to be installed,
- Positioning of the cameras/detectors (essential step for cameras on a cable network),
- Location of the video control room or control station…
This study is essential before any installation of a surveillance system. It avoids bad surprises.
The hardware elements to be installed for your video surveillance system:
The installation of a video surveillance system is based on three (3) fundamental steps: the reception, management and visualisation of the images, whatever the system you choose (analogue, digital, IP…). It is recommended that you entrust this task to a specialist, so that you have a guarantee of the quality of the installation, the configuration and the fact that your video surveillance system is immediately operational.
This should include at least :
- One or more cameras covering the areas you wish to monitor;
- An image management device: computer, switch, software;
- A monitor for viewing the images;
You can also add a recording device such as a VCR or DVR and replace the monitor with a computer screen or smartphone. There are many possibilities, which is why it is advisable to seek advice from your supplier or from video surveillance providers.
From a technical point of view, to install your IP cameras you must :
- Give an IP address to the camera or camera server;
- Ensure the configuration of the cameras from a browser because it must be done in HTTP. The camera is like any other internet server, you connect to it via a computer and configure it using the various menus available.
Once all the elements are connected and the configurations are correctly done, your surveillance system is ready to work!
