Childcare wiring FAQs
Should this be designed camera-by-camera?
Yes. Most childcare projects benefit from a location-by-location plan rather than a generic package.
What should be handed over?
At minimum, hand over the cable schedule, device schedule, port map, user instructions and as-built diagram.
Where do product choices fit?
Product choice should follow the wiring and design plan. SecurityWholesalers can be used as a product reference, then products should be checked against the actual design.
