Setting up a security camera that is
capable of running over a wireless network is a good way to keep tabs on your
property, especially when you are away. Known as the ‘IP camera’, the system is
easy to install and position, and they do the job well as long as you have
reliable internet access. You can purchase an HD IP camera system from an
established and trustworthy distributor of security camera systems. Some
distributors offer free delivery and a lifetime warranty on HD IP camera
systems, too. Once you get yours, use this quick guide to set it up:
- Find the right
spot for it – Before anything else, determine where the HD IP cameras must
be positioned. Make sure that they are close to power outlets and that
each camera can easily pick up signals from your Wi-Fi router. Some
systems may require you to use a Wi-Fi stumbler app to help you find
nearby networks that are strong enough for a clear and steady stream of
video.
- Configuring
the wireless network camera – The setup process usually varies depending
on the brand of the HD IP camera, but the steps are mostly similar. Start
by plugging it into the outlet near the Wi-Fi router and connect it via Ethernet
to the router. Otherwise, use the connected Ethernet switch. An HD
IP camera system should come with a software or setup wizard that
should start up as soon as the camera is plugged in. Make sure that the
computer is using the same network as the HD IP camera. Moreover, make
sure that the camera is using the latest firmware. Upgrade it if it is
outdated.
- Set up motion detection – Once you get the wireless camera to work, you must be able to see whatever it is in its field of view from anywhere. The next step is to configure motion detection features, so you do not have to watch what is happening 24/7. With motion detection, anything that changes in the scene (i.e. someone moves in front of the camera or something goes missing from the camera’s field of view) will be noted, and you will be notified.
