Before you start piecing together your surveillance system for the first time, stop whatever you’re doing and watch this video! We’ve put together a list of the top ten beginner security camera installation mistakes. We’ve all been there, and we’ve made these mistakes time and time again. It’s our hope that we can use our experience in CCTV to help save you a little time, money, and hassle.

I like a company that openly admits it’s knowledge is based on the mistakes it’s learnt from.

Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

I view it as EXPERIENCE

I like how they teach you their mistakes so you are less likely to spend a lot of money making them by getting the wrong camera.

The mistake in this video is the background music. Very distracting. Learn from this. But otherwise very informative.

I’ve been working in security business since 2009 and i think this is the best video i’ve ever seen! respect!
Nelly's Security
Thank you very much!

Thank you for this very informative and helpful video.It has helped me in making a sensible choice in buying a system here in the UK.

Great video! Picked up some great tips, the IR one was especially helpful!

Nice video – I didn’t learn anything I didn’t know already, but it was such a pleasure to hear a presenter that enunciates so well. Bravo!

I truly appreciate the information 💯
Darren Cousins
enjoyed that, good amount of knowledge and humour and yeah, i’ve pretty much made all those mistakes

Very enjoyable, very informative! I would directly order from you if I would be living in US!

Very nice presentation. Two items I wished you had covered in general terms. 1) Range of wireless cameras 2) Sirens or Alarms.

Actually, higher resolution CAN be achieved via computer processing, but it requires multiple frames of an image to do so. You can’t just grab a screen-shot and enhance it via this process. It takes multiple images of the same object and via software combines them and may be able to produce a composite image that strips out much of the noise while at the same time introducing pixels from all the images and mapping them into a new image that produces more detail.
For one SIMPLISTIC example, one part of the eyes may be obscured or “out of focus” in one frame (but the rest of the face is decent), but the eyes are “in focus” in another frame. So the software removes the out of focus section from the first frame and replaces that section only with the in focus section from the second frame…thus producing an image with superior resolution overall. Also, the data compression used by a camera and/or system may produce less than optimal resolution of the eyes in one frame, but when it compresses the data for the next frame the eyes were compressed with more information. The results of compression can vary due to lighting, distance, motion, etc. Dealing with compression artifacts can be quite difficult.
However, this kind of software is as far as I know, still all proprietary, and mostly available and used by government agencies or vendors who specialize in image enhancement. I’ve not seen any software package that a typical consumer would use (or would want to pay high dollars for) that would provide enhancement in this manner.
Similar techniques are used in producing higher resolution images from optical telescopes.
Of course, it also helps a LOT if your data are not compressed at all. However this requires a LOT more data storage and most consumers would balk at either the higher cost or the decreased amount of video stored before the “old” data are overridden.
Note: I don’t recommend any camera with less than 5MP of sensor resolution. Even if a camera is advertised as “1080HD” or similar, a 2MP camera is NOT actually capable of providing true 1080p information. It could be 480p (or even lower). The system may DISPLAY 1080p on the HDMI output, however the 480p image has simply been “stretched” to meet the 1080p format of the display. No “HD” information actually exists.

I love it when you get information and advice and you know you can trust it and the people giving it. Thanks! 😀

Excellent advice I learned a lot! Thanks for sharing,

Here is the one you missed: aiming outdoor cameras at the east /west horizon where the sun sets/rises. Near time, the sun blocks out the view and changes the exact area due to the seasons. SE to NE and SW to NW winter to summer. Keep the angle low; no sky view.

I noticed one that is missing here, when using IR cameras, you can extend their range at night with IR flood lights. Be sure to position them out of view of the cameras though. My cameras have around a 30′ range with the built in LEDs, with my IR flood lights, they pick up details at close to 200′. Another thing with IR cameras, don’t use CFL bulbs in the field of view, they make the cameras useless.

As a professional installer for 25+ years I am absolutely genuinely shocked at how well and how much real information you guys put out nice job nice job

I knew it was going to be a great video when youre not scared to admit that youve made a lot of mistakes.
Was not disappointed!
Dain Unicorn
I’m actually shocked you didn’t list “failing to change the manufacturers default password(s)”. Especially since you covered wireless setups.
John van der Linden
Very nice video and good tips especially for a few years ago, but so much has changed! Needs to be updated asap, now we have super low light cameras, AI, high speed and more…

I wasn’t into this but I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Brian Roberts
Thank you very much for this video. I’ve been researching CCTV for awhile and thought wireless was ok. Guess hardwired is best.
