How to install security camera wiring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, make sure that you can get power to your security camera. This is done either by tapping into an existing 240v \/ 110v power supply or if required running a new electrical cable to supply power. In my case, I tapped into an existing circuit using a single roof Socket base plug like the ones used for our downlight installation.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Drill a 16mm hole for the camera cables to pass through into the roof space. Then screw the camera into the ceiling with wall plugs and screws or if going into wood or cement board the appropriate screws.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug the cables into the GPO roof socket and power on the unit.\u00a0One thing to mention is the camera already comes with an 8 GB micro SD card pre-installed. This is where the motion-triggered videos and images have been installed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
