Explore the complete technical process of CCTV installation, including camera architecture, wiring standards, IP configuration, network setup, NVR optimization, and storage planning. Learn how Pixeldote Tech delivers professional CCTV installation services across Patna using industry-grade methodologies.
1. Introduction: Why Technical Precision Matters in CCTV Installation
CCTV installation is no longer a simple “camera-and-cable” setup. Modern surveillance systems rely on IP networking, structured cabling, PoE switches, bandwidth allocation, remote monitoring, and cybersecurity. A technically correct installation ensures stable uptime, clear footage, and long-term reliability.
Pixeldote Tech, Patna’s trusted CCTV service provider, follows a systematic engineering-driven approach to ensure every residential, commercial, or industrial site receives optimal surveillance coverage.
2. Pre-Installation Site Survey & Risk Assessment
A technical CCTV installation begins with a detailed site audit, covering:
Coverage mapping using FOV (Field of View) calculations
Lux level identification to determine night-vision requirements
Critical zone analysis (entries, exits, perimeters, blind spots)
Network feasibility checks
Distance calculations for cable loss and voltage drop
Mounting feasibility and environmental testing (dust, heat, moisture)
This planning phase helps in finalizing the correct camera configurations for each location.
3. Choosing the Right Camera Hardware
Pixeldote Tech works with a variety of professional-grade CCTV systems. Selection depends on the technical requirements:
3.1 Camera Types
Bullet Cameras – Long-range outdoor monitoring
Dome Cameras – Indoor wide-angle coverage
PTZ Cameras – Pan-Tilt-Zoom system for dynamic tracking
Turret Cameras – IR clarity in low-light areas
IP Cameras – Network-driven cameras with high resolution
Wireless Cameras – Ideal for residential and non-wiring zones
3.2 Technical Specifications to Consider
Resolution: 2MP, 4MP, 5MP, 8MP (4K)
Image Sensor: CMOS, low-light BSI sensors
Lens Type: 2.8mm (wide angle), 3.6mm, 6mm (distance)
IR Range: 20m to 80m+ depending on environment
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): Essential for high-contrast lighting
Compression: H.265/H.265+ for optimized storage
4. Wired vs Wireless CCTV Architecture
Wired CCTV (Recommended for Professionals)
Structured Cat6 cabling
PoE switches for power and data transport
NVR centralized recording
Zero latency
Higher reliability
Wireless CCTV
Ideal for quick installation
Requires strong Wi-Fi bandwidth
Recommended for homes or small shops
Pixeldote Tech primarily deploys structured wired networks for mission-critical surveillance.
5. NVR/DVR Setup & Storage Design
5.1 Storage Calculation
Pixeldote Tech uses industry-standard formulas to calculate storage:
Required Storage = (Camera Count × Bitrate × Hours × Days) / Compression Factor
A 4MP camera with H.265+ can save up to 50% more storage than older codecs.
5.2 RAID Support
Commercial installations often require redundancy using:
RAID 1 (Mirroring)
RAID 5 (Parity-based protection)
5.3 Network Topology
A standard IP CCTV network includes:
IP Cameras → PoE Switch → NVR → Router → Cloud (optional)
6. Network Configuration & Cybersecurity Measures
Pixeldote Tech implements advanced network configuration to safeguard CCTV systems from unauthorized access.
Technical Configurations Include:
Static IP assignment for all cameras
VLAN segregation for camera networks
Port forwarding for remote access
Encrypted P2P cloud setup
Password hardening & user restriction
Firmware updates and patching
HTTPS protocol activation where supported
7. Installation Standards & Best Practices
Pixeldote Tech technicians follow certified installation standards:
Use of Cat6 cables for better bandwidth
Proper termination using RJ45 connectors (T568B standard)
Surge protection for outdoor cameras
