CCTV Walkthrough: Camera Zones and Cable Runs
Capture coverage outcomes, lighting and cable paths needed for a camera proposal.
Before you begin
- Start a Field Walkthrough for the correct customer.
Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Ask what the customer needs to see
Discuss entrances, parking, cash handling, loading docks, blind spots and nighttime concerns.
- 2
Add camera regions
Use Add Camera Region for each viewing zone and give every zone a recognizable location.
- 3
Record mounting conditions
Note indoor/outdoor exposure, approximate mounting positions and obstructions.
- 4
Estimate cabling
Record preliminary distances between camera regions and the central hub, including routing challenges.
- 5
Check network and power
Document available network connection, switches, power and recorder location.
- 6
Capture supporting images
Photograph the scene with permission, avoiding unnecessary sensitive information.
- 7
Summarize the outcome
Describe desired visibility, remote viewing and alert needs without promising unsupported AI features.
Expected result
The estimator understands desired coverage and what must be verified.
Sales best practice
Sell visibility, deterrence, event review and remote access—not a camera count alone.
