This manual is designed to help you create a complete surveillance system based around SecuritySpy. Three questions always arise when setting up a new system.
Start by reading ‘Choosing a system’. This section explains the different types of camera available, and helps you choose between them.
Take a look at ‘Example systems’, which describes all the hardware you need for the most common system configurations. You can then read the section of the manual that relates to your chosen type of camera for more detailed advice. The two main sections are ‘Network cameras’ and ‘Analogue cameras’.
‘Setting up network cameras’ and ‘Setting up wireless cameras’ guide you though the process of configuring network cameras, and ‘Set up guide’ under the ‘Remote monitoring’ section shows you how to access your system from the internet. For information on using SecuritySpy itself, please see the SecuritySpy User Manual.
