You’ve decided to purchase a commercial surveillance system and have it professionally installed. That’s great, but what does the process entail? We’ve prepared a 6-step guide to help you prepare and plan for this important installation.
AD-PITT
No, this is not Brad Pitt’s brother. Rather, it’s an easy-to-remember acronym to lead you through the commercial surveillance system installation process.
A: Assessment and Planning
Before purchasing a commercial security system installation package, it is important to know exactly what you need. A professional security company can help with that. They will visit your place of business and conduct a full assessment of your security needs. This includes identifying vulnerable areas and optimal placement for security devices, discusses your concerns and needs, and discussing the various security equipment options that could work in your space.
D: Design
Once your security specialist has completed their site visit and has a complete understanding of your security needs, they will customize a commercial surveillance system installation package and discuss it with you. This phase includes more than selecting equipment (i.e., security cameras, alarms, and access control systems). It also requires
planning for all the infrastructure needs (such as power supply, network connectivity, server storage, cables, etc.) and
ensuring compliance with local regulations and building codes.
P: Pre-install Prep
Your commercial security system installation company does not remain idle between the time you confirm your purchase and the day they install it. They arrange all necessary permits and approvals, acquire all components of your system, prepare the installation team, and coordinate with you to create a convenient time for the installation as well as training once the installation is complete.
I: Installation
When the day for your commercial surveillance system installation arrives, your security technicians will move through your space and:
install security cameras in the predetermined locations
set up access control systems at entry points
install and configure alarm systems
connect all components to power supplies and networks
integrate the various security elements into a cohesive system.
Depending on the complexity of your system and the size of your space, this process can take a few hours or several days.
T: Testing & Configuration
Your commercial security system installation is not complete without a comprehensive test of all the components to ensure functionality. This phase also includes configuring the settings according to your specific needs and preferences.
T: Training & Handover
The commercial surveillance system installation concludes with full training for you and whomever you choose. Your installation team will:
teach you how to use and manage the system
explain and demonstrate the functions and features of each component
provide you with all the necessary documentation, user manuals, and access credentials.
