Lesson 2.1: Site Survey & Identifying Coverage Zones
- Introduction to Pre-Installation Site Surveys
Conduct a site survey, identify coverage zones & blind spots and plan the cable routes. This is your initial ‘check list” before installation and mounting hardware.
-
Identify Coverage Zones & Blind Spots: Locate key areas that require monitoring and determine any blind spots that need to be addressed
-
Identify Vulnerable Access Points: Find high-risk entry or exit points that require dedicated surveillance
-
Evaluate Lighting Conditions: Check light levels (including areas requiring night vision or IR illumination) to choose appropriate camera locations and settings
-
Check Mounting Surfaces: Assess the structural stability of surfaces where cameras will be mounted
-
Identify Cable Routes: Plan out the physical paths for coaxial or network cabling from the camera locations back to the recorder/power source
-
Determine Power Source Locations: Locate where electrical power is available for the recorder, PoE switches, or camera power supply boxes
