Brackets & Mounting Equipment

Where should CCTV Cameras be mounted?

When deciding where to mount CCTV cameras, the main considerations will be being able to apply full coverage of crucial monitoring areas, as well as taking into account property layout. For outdoor security, place cameras at entry points such as front and back doors and garage entrances, and ensure they cover driveways and any side gates. You may also want to ensure that they cover ground floor windows and car parking spaces. Indoors, focus on high-traffic areas like hallways and staircases, as well as crucial areas for monitoring such as reception areas. Additionally, consider mounting cameras near valuable items or other types of areas where you may want to monitor activity, such as storage rooms. Always ensure that cameras are positioned to provide a clear view, and are not obstructed by furniture or other objects.

How Can I Mount a CCTV Camera on a Wall Without Drilling?

If you prefer not to drill holes in your walls, there are alternative methods to mount a CCTV camera. One option is to use adhesive strips or hooks designed for heavy-duty use. These are usually strong enough to support the weight of a camera, although you will want to check the details of the specific mount you have in mind. Another method is to use a suction cup mount, which can be attached to smooth surfaces like windows or glass doors. For temporary installations, consider using a freestanding camera stand or a magnetic mount if your wall is made of metal. Always ensure the mount is secure, and can support the weight of the camera to prevent it from falling.
