How to Install CCTV Camera CP Plus

Installing a CP Plus Security camera involves several steps. If you're looking to start, here is a simplified guide to help you get started:

Unboxing and Understanding Your Kit:

• Start by unboxing your CP Plus camera kit and ensure you have all the necessary components, including cameras, a DVR, power supply units, BNC connectors, and cables.

Planning Camera Placement:

• Decide the areas you want to monitor and choose the best camera spots. Consider height and angle for maximum coverage.

Mounting the Cameras:

• Use the mounting stand and screws provided to secure each camera in its designated location. Ensure the camera is fixed firmly and directed at the correct angle to cover the desired area.

Running Cables:

• If you have chosen a wired system, run the coaxial (or the appropriate) cable from each camera back to the DVR. Ensure that the wires are secured and protected from the elements where necessary.

Connecting Cameras and DVR:

• Attach the BNC connectors to the ends of the coaxial cables from your cameras and connect them to the DVR.
• If the cameras are not PoE (Power over Ethernet), connect them to the power supply. For PoE cameras, the Ethernet cable will carry both data and power.

Setting Up the DVR:

• Connect the DVR to a power source, monitor, or TV using an HDMI or VGA cable.
• Power on the DVR and follow the initial setup procedures, which may include setting the date and time and configuring network settings.

Configuring DVR Settings:

• Adjust the settings according to your needs, such as recording quality, motion detection sensitivity, and recording schedule.

Installing the Mobile App:

• CP Plus offers a mobile app that can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store. Install it on your mobile device.

Connecting the DVR to the Mobile App:

• Open the app and add your DVR by scanning the QR code or manually entering the DVR's details.
• Configure the app settings, such as push notifications for motion alerts, if available.

Testing Your Setup:

• Check each camera's feed on the DVR to ensure they are working and positioned correctly.
• Test your mobile app's live viewing and playback functions to ensure the system is connected and streaming as expected.

Securing the System:

• Change the default usernames and passwords to secure your system against unauthorized access.
• Check for firmware updates for your CP Plus cameras and DVR to ensure you have the latest security patches and features.

Important Considerations:

As the setup process may vary, consult the user manual specific to your CP Plus model for detailed instructions.

Consider the legal implications and ensure that your surveillance complies with local laws regarding privacy.

For outdoor installations, use weatherproof cameras and ensure that all outdoor connections are waterproofed.

If you need more confidence about safely and correctly installing the system, it is wise to hire a professional installer.
