Depending on the number of cameras, home size, and the type of system, installation can take anywhere from four hours to two days to complete security camera installation. Wired CCTV systems on a two-story home usually take the longest to complete, while wireless camera systems on single-story homes take the least.

The best places to install security cameras outside your home include the areas potential intruders may target. These areas include the front door, first-floor windows, back door, and driveway. Consider using either hidden cameras or floodlight-equipped cameras to enhance security.

Install indoor security cameras at main points of entry, such as patio, balcony, or garage entrances. Be considerate of privacy by informing your household where cameras are located.

Not all security cameras need WiFi. Many cameras receive power through ethernet cables, known as Power-over-Ethernet. These cables work as the internet connection, data transfer cable, and power cable when plugged into specified surveillance cameras.
