3-Step Installation Tips

Installation Step 1 - Configuration and Bench Test

(1) Lay all the devices out on a table

(2) Read the instruction manuals and connect all the devices

(3) Double-check all the connections and then power up

(4) Configure all the devices and the features required

(5) Bench-test all the features you have configured above

For wireless devices, temporarily hold/secure them in their positions and test for signal strength. As noted in the next step, try to void as many physical barriers as possible.
For hardwired devices having long cable runs, estimate the cable length you will need and test the devices with the cable a few meters longer than you estimated.

Installation Step 2 - Cabling, Mounting and Termination

This step can be easy for wireless devices but not so much for hardwired devices. The most important thing is to consider safety, safety and safety when installing the devices, whether you do it yourself or hire professionals. If you are going to hire a professional, make sure they are licensed and insured.

There are a few things to consider when running cables, mounting/securing and terminating the devices.

Do not install any devices near any sources of interference, and for wireless devices, avoid as many physical barriers between the wireless receiver and the transmitters as you can, especially metal barriers and steel sheds.
Do not run cables through the same conduit or hole as the electrical cables.
Do not run the cables right next to the electrical cables. Keep at least 150mm apart for 240V and 350mm for 415 volts.
If you need to cross the electrical cables, use a fixed, non-conductive barrier between your cables and the electrical cables.
Crawling into the ceiling space or under the house: consider the heat, the confined space, and especially shutting down the power, as there could be live wires.
Drilling: Electrical wires, water, and gas pipes can be hidden behind the walls or buried under the ground and concrete.
Use of ladders: assess the risks of falling from height (off the ladder).
Always power off the devices before attempting to terminate them.
Never touch your fingers on any circuit components.
The ends of the HDMI cable can easily break off and cannot be repaired, so take care when handling them. For long and challenging runs, it's worthwhile to consider using Cat6 cables with a pair of HDMI over Cat6 converters.

Installation Step 3 - Walk Test

Carry out the walk test and, if necessary, make physical adjustments and/or configurations to the field devices, such as sensors, cameras, etc.
