How to Install Outdoor Security Cameras
Installing an outdoor security cameras system in addition to your indoor security camera
is a great way to beef up your home security. Some people prefer the expertise of a
professional. While that could be a great way to go for the best results, you can also cut
your costs quite a bit if you are a Do It Yourselfer. Whether you are installing outdoor
home security cameras or indoor security cameras, here are the steps that you need to
take.
Since we are talking about an electronic device, you will have to deal with wiring, even if
you elect to get a wireless camera. Keep this in mind when deciding to install yourself
as there is always the possibility of an electric shock.
Materials and Tools:
wire
electric drill
electrical tape
hammer
screwdriver
marker
safety goggles
security camera kit
cable tie-downs
Steps:
1. After deciding on where you would like an intercom, drill a hole.
2. Insert a wire through the hole to act as a feeder wire. Tape the wire for the intercom
to the feeder wire and pull it through the wall.
3. Place the mounting bracket for the intercom over the hole and mark the position for
drilling holes for anchors. Drill pockets just deep enough for the anchors.
4. Insert plastic anchors into the hole, and secure bracket with screws. Insert foam plug
around the wire to fill the hole, and seal off hole with a bit of silicone caulk. Attach the
intercom box.
5. Drill a hole through the wall for the camera wire. Position camera mounting bracket
over the hole and mark points on the wall for drilling. Make sure the camera is mounted
where you'll have a good view of your doorway.
6. Drill holes and insert the anchors and attach the mounting bracket with screws.
7. Drill another hole for the camera feed wire. Run the wire through the wall. Use
supplied rubber grommets to seal holes in the wall around the wire.
8. Attach the camera to the bracket, position it and lock it down. Attach the wire to the
back of the camera.
9. Inside, run the wire to the monitor for the camera. Use supplied wall clips to run the
wire neatly down wall to the monitor.
10. Hook up the camera system and you are good to go.
