Surveillance Tools

Installing a surveillance camera system will take special tools and equipment. For example, when mounting the cameras to your ceilings and walls you will likely need a power drill and mounting equipment such as screws, bolts, and brackets. But that’s not all that should be on your tool list. You will need special tools when handling and lining your wire as well.

Since wiring is the most time consuming (and the most important) part of surveillance installation, the proper handling of wire and cable should be planned and well thought out. You will of course want to do this prior to installation. You should do all this because the quality of your video signal will make all the difference.

When lining the wire you will want to use insulated staples which reduce pressure on the wire. Each staple has a plastic insulator that encloses the metal legs of the staple and keeps the metal from cutting or pinching the wire. The staples are usually sold in bulk quantity.

To enforce the insulated staple you will need a special staple gun. The T59 staple gun from Arrow is ideal and is great for Cat5, Cat6, optical fiber, and video (RG59, RG6) wiring. The process of stapling the wire is vital for any work where it is important not to deform or compress insulation.

If you don’t already have these tools on hand you will need to buy the tools in advance. Plus don’t forget about the more obvious equipment, like a ladder or measuring tape.
