And if necessary, drill pilot holes. In case the holes will be situated in a stud, you should have a stud finder. Otherwise you will be using a drywall anchor bolt. Use a drill that is slightly smaller than the screw for the mounting bracket so work is easier. Then, insert the screws into the holes or the drywall anchor bolt.
4. Place the security camera or cameras onto the mounting bracket. Attach the camera in a tightly secured position. When your camera is a wired one, connect both the camera and the monitor based on the given direction from the manufacturer. Plug the wired camera into the outlet and if there is a need to adjust the picture, do it for best reception. Set up the receiver to the monitor or computer for both wired and wireless camera.
5. Test if the camera works properly. If the camera you have chosen has software included, download it. Once you finished installed the software and everything seems to be all set, go around the area to see if the camera gives an alarm.
