I. Pre-Installation Planning and Preparation:

Before you begin the physical installation, careful planning is crucial for a smooth and successful setup. This includes:
Choosing Optimal Camera Locations: Strategically place your cameras to cover all critical areas, considering blind spots and potential intrusion points. Remember to account for power sources and network connectivity.

Assessing Network Infrastructure: Verify your existing Wi-Fi network’s strength and stability. Weak signals can lead to poor camera performance and connectivity issues. Consider using a network extender or powerline adapters if necessary, as demonstrated in our video. Knowing your router’s IP address and subnet mask will be essential for configuration.
Gathering Necessary Tools and Equipment: This might include a drill, screwdriver, ladder, cable ties, wire strippers (if hardwiring), and a network cable tester. Our video provides a complete list of recommended tools. Remember to check the included accessories with your specific Baoqi camera model.
Understanding your Baoqi Camera Model: Familiarize yourself with the specific features and functionalities of your Baoqi camera model. Different models may have slight variations in installation procedures. Our video tutorials are categorized by model, ensuring you're following the correct instructions.

II. Physical Installation:

Once the planning phase is complete, you can proceed with the physical installation. The following steps will guide you through the process:
Mounting the Camera: Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for mounting your camera. This may involve drilling holes for screws or using adhesive mounts. Our video shows different mounting techniques for various surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and poles. Ensure the camera is securely mounted and stable.
Connecting Power: Connect the power adapter to the camera and plug it into a reliable power outlet. For outdoor cameras, ensure the power supply is weatherproof. The video demonstrates how to properly connect the power cable and manage excess cabling.
Running Network Cables (if applicable): If you are hardwiring your camera, carefully run the network cables to your router. Secure the cables to avoid damage or tripping hazards. The video showcases proper cable management techniques.
Connecting to Wi-Fi (if applicable): For wireless cameras, connect to your Wi-Fi network using the instructions provided in your camera's manual or our video tutorial. This usually involves accessing the camera's settings through a smartphone app. The video guides you through the Wi-Fi connection process step-by-step.
