05 Installation and Site Requirements

Site assessment

Confirm the following before equipment is dispatched or installed:

• Required field of view and image detail

• Supporting wall, pole or structure

• Permanent, solar or generator power arrangement

• Local mobile-network coverage and preferred carrier

• Camera and power-cable routes

• Safe access for installation and maintenance

• Environmental and security risks

Mounting

The main control enclosure is supplied with wall- and pole-mounting assemblies. Use fixings suitable for the supporting surface, installed load and local environmental forces.

• Confirm the structure can carry the system safely.

• Maintain access to the enclosure, external PSU and cable connections.

• Protect cables from strain, abrasion and water entry.

• Complete a final security and stability check before commissioning.

Camera and network cabling

• Use outdoor-rated CAT5e cable or better.

• Camera-cable length of 90m.

• Power and data are carried over the same Ethernet cable when using PoE.

• Confirm whether the approved kit uses the onboard PoE ports or a separate injector before installation.

Power connection

With the AC supply isolated, a suitably competent person must terminate the approved PSU to the site power source. The internal DC switch is an operational control and must not be treated as a mains-isolation device.

Recommended installation sequence

1. Inspect the equipment and confirm the site plan.

2. Secure the control enclosure using the approved mounting hardware.

3. Connect the camera using a suitable outdoor-rated Ethernet cable.

4. Connect the approved PSU or Battery Box arrangement.

5. Complete mains termination with the supply isolated.

6. Power the system and verify connectivity and local recording.

7. Confirm the field of view with Evercam Support.

8. Complete security, stability and weather-sealing checks before handover.
