About this module

Installation is where a design on paper meets the real building, and this module works through the practical decisions that separate a system that performs from one that merely gets installed — camera mounting height and angle for coverage integrity, access control device mounting (readers, request-to-exit devices, door contacts) for reliable operation, and cable pathway planning via conduit and cable tray sized for both current devices and reasonable future growth.

It closes with wireless bridges as the fallback where a wired pathway genuinely isn't feasible, outdoor/harsh-environment installation practices (enclosures, weatherproofing, temperature range), grounding/bonding/surge protection, and the labeling and termination discipline that makes a system maintainable years after installation.
