Step 1. Decide how many video camera
you need.
Each video camera can
cover a good 65-75° degree angle
of any standard room. So if you have
a big lot, you might need more than 2
security cameras to cover front lot.
Average room takes up 2 security camera
for full coverage. Average homes takes
up to 4 security cameras for front lot
surveillance to be covered on all angle.
So you can probably do a good guess.
If your guess is wrong, its okay too.
You can always upgrade or add more surveillance
camera down the line or order right away.
Step 2. Decide what type of video cameras you need.
We have so many cctv cameras to choose from. It seem
endless. We try our best to carry all types of cctv cameras because
each customer has their own preferences. So ask youself few questions
to narrow down what type of video cameras you need.

bullet type camera. If both day & night surveillance then you
must use only "Infrared cameras or also known as (night vision
camera) ". With infrared cameras you're able to see beautiful
day videos and pitch dark, night time vision.

Step 3. Decide what type of budget you have for your surveillance.
After passing step 1 & 2. Before continuing how
to cable or where to install. Make sure you narrow down what type
of camera you like or how many you can get. Is this in your budget?
Go on our online-store at www.espysecurity.com and
with step 1&2, figure out the prices along with quantity of security
cameras your budget have for you. Also add in price of Digital Recorders.
You can go for digital
recorder-only, or combo
monitor-dvr.
Once you figure out your budget, or how many cameras
you're able to put on, go to step 4.
Step 4. Decide the location to store
your Recorder/Monitor & Security Cameras.
Once you figure out where
you will place your recording device/monitoring.
Measure or figure out the length between
each camera to your recording/monitoring
device. Take that length and times by
each camera you are planning to purchase.
(Camera distant to recording/montoring
x Camera Qty) . This will help get you
the basic estimate of cable you will
need. Remember some length varies from
each camera to recording/monitor. So
always add additional cable to your estimate.
It is better to go over what you need
than to have less than what you need.
This way you will avoid loss of time & complications
during your installation. Give and take
add few hundred extra feet to your total
estimate cable you need.
Step 5. Installation
After completing the 4
steps, you're now ready to do installation.
