In this Intro I'll go over who I am, my experience in the field, and what you can expect to learn from this course going forward.
Explore IP camera systems, learn about PoE single-cable cabling, and compare dome, turret, and fisheye cameras with video recorders, including hybrid and HD over analog options.
Identify reference points around the building, conceal cabling via soffits or attic paths, and install two cameras wired to a video recorder with internet access.
Learn the essential hardware for security camera installs, including drills (standard and hammer), grinders, IP cameras, cable management, connectors, low-voltage hardware, and safety gear.
Drill a hole beside the ac unit, pull two security camera wires through conduit with a fish tape, fit a 90-degree connector, then seal and conceal the wiring with trim.
Install drywall cabling with a post construction ring and keystone jack, route cables with brushes, and measure from the window corner to keep wiring neat to the video recorder.
Set up plug-and-play video recorders with a guided wizard and QR app for easy onboarding, login, and local or remote viewing; change the default admin password for security.
Perform the final nvr install walkthrough by wiring cameras, connecting the network, and enabling internet access for phones and tablets, with footage accessible via playback or thumb drive.
Gain hands-on guidance on setting up cameras, wiring, installing video recorders, and viewing your system on phones or tablets to monitor your property and gain peace of mind.
This course will take you step-by-step through the wiring, install and configuration of a professional security camera system. We'll also set up an app that will allow you to view the cameras on your phone, tablet, or computer.
Here's some of what you'll learn in this course:
- Learn about security camera systems and how they work. We'll be focusing on new technology IP camera systems mainly.
- Demonstrate the cameras and video recorders with an emphasis on their pros and cons so you can make an informed decision for your install.
- Demonstrate the wiring of a site.
- Show the install of different types of cameras, and how they are enrolled in the video recorder.
- Set up a mobile app that will allow you to view your cameras when you aren't home. Software will be used for computer viewing.
- Give examples and solutions for more in-depth camera installs, like multi-building sites.
- How to crimp down RJ45 connections for your cameras.
- Install conduit to protect wiring outside the building.
This course would be ideal for:
- Anyone looking to protect their home and belongings using a professional security camera system.
- If you are looking to get into the growing security/low voltage field this is a good primer as well. Watch some of the things a technician does on a day-to-day basis.
- Other Trades people, like electricians, may get a lot of use out of this course as well to expand their services.
