If others can't help you, take out the surveillance camera bracket and prepare tools and parts: plugs, screws, screwdrivers, hammers, electric drills and other necessary tools; According to the pre-determined installation position, check the size and model of expansion plug and self-tapping screw, try whether the bracket screw and the camera base screw are suitable, whether the embedded pipeline interface is handled well, whether the test cable is unblocked, and enter the installation procedure when it is ready. Under the condition of meeting the requirements of the visual field of the monitoring target, its installation height: the indoor ground should not be less than 2.5m；; Outdoor ground clearance should not be less than 3.5m

2. Installation of monitoring camera.
