Please take the following factors into consideration when installing cameras.
4.2 Camera Positioning
Careful consideration should be taken when deciding the best place to install the cameras and
recording devices. Please read safety instructions on page 1 before proceeding with installation,
the below tips may also offer some guidance.
4. SETTING UP YOUR DEVICE
4.1 Introduction
ERA CCTV
Installation
Lighting Conditions
Ensure that cameras have adequate lighting to record the target area.
For the best results do not point the camera towards a light source.
It is recommended to clean the camera lens periodically to ensure picture
quality is consistent
Environmental Conditions
Ensure the cameras aren’t subject to any excessive heat
Target Area
Ensure cameras are positioned to provide ample coverage. Consider blind
spots and mounting the camera in an elevated position for a high vantage
point and to keep out of the reach of burglars and vandals.
Distance from the camera to the DVR
Ensure that the cameras are within the wireless range

20
10
ERA CCTV Installation
Front of house/door
Ideally the camera would be positioned
to view the entire garden, if you have a
larger garden you may want to consider
using 2 cameras.
Recommended to install where the roof
meets the walls, this will shelter the
camera and maximise the target area.
Back of house/door

11
IndoorsSide of house/garage
If you want to cover a side entrance or
blind spot that the front and rear camera
can’t see you may want to consider an
additional camera to the side.
Ideally an indoor camera should be placed
in areas of high traffic and close to the
main entry/exit points. e.g. hallways.
