Keeping your home, office, or business secure is no longer just a choice—it’s a necessity. With modern CCTV IP camera systems, you can enjoy high-quality video surveillance, remote monitoring, cloud backup, and intelligent alerts. If you are planning to install a CCTV system yourself, this detailed guide from Pixeldote Tech – Patna’s trusted CCTV installation experts will walk you through every step.
Why Choose CCTV IP Cameras?
Unlike traditional analog cameras, IP cameras offer:
HD or 4K video quality
Remote viewing via mobile or laptop
Better data encryption and security
Easy PoE (Power over Ethernet) setup
Smart features like motion detection and alerts
Whether you’re securing a home, shop, school, office, or warehouse, an IP CCTV system ensures stronger and more reliable protection.
1. Planning and Site Survey
Before starting installation, a proper survey is essential. This helps you understand:
✔ Areas that require monitoring
Examples:
Main gate
Parking area
Hallways
Cash counters
Store rooms
Entry/exit points
✔ Coverage planning
Determine:
Recommended angle of coverage
Height of installation (usually 9–12 feet outdoors)
Blind spots to avoid
✔ Network requirements
Decide:
Whether the system will be wired or wireless
Whether PoE (Power over Ethernet) is available
Whether additional routers or switches are needed
A good site survey saves time and ensures maximum security coverage.
2. Equipment Checklist
Before installation, make sure you have the following items ready:
IP CCTV Cameras – Dome, Bullet, PTZ, etc.
NVR (Network Video Recorder) or a computer for recording
Ethernet cables (Cat5e/Cat6)
PoE switch or PoE injectors (if your cameras are PoE-enabled)
Power adapters (if not using PoE)

Tools – Drill, screwdriver, cable clips, wire stripper, etc.
