A CCTV Installation, Start to Finish

From rough-in conduit before the ceiling closes up, to mounted cameras, terminated patch panels, and a fully configured NVR — here's what a complete CCTV installation looks like behind the scenes.

Scope: Cabling, Camera Mounting & NVR Setup

Every camera gets a clean run and a clear line of sight — installed to actually get used, not just installed.

The Process

From rough-in wiring to a live monitoring system

Conduit and cabling roughed in under a roof eave before the exterior finish is completed. — Rough-in conduit run before the exterior finish closes up — planning camera runs early keeps the install clean.

Cable trunking routed along a wall-ceiling junction in a room lined with stacked boxes, ready for camera cabling. — Trunking routed along the wall-ceiling line before any camera goes up — plan the path, then run the cable.

A Hikvision CCTV camera mounted at a ceiling corner, cable routed neatly through steel roof decking. — Every camera angle is checked on-site before final mounting to eliminate blind spots.

Blue Cat6 camera cable runs neatly terminated into a wall-mounted patch panel. — Every camera run terminated and labeled at the patch panel for easy future troubleshooting.

A network switch and patch panel with dozens of blue Cat6 cables neatly dressed and connected. — Every camera feed lands on a dedicated switch and patch panel, cleanly dressed and ready to scale.

The Result

A fully configured system — recording, monitored, and ready to hand over.

From rough-in cabling to the final camera check, every step was built for reliability: clean runs, labeled terminations, and an NVR configured and tested before handover — no loose ends left behind.
