The invention discloses a monitoring system mounting device with short time consumption and a mounting method. The monitoring system mounting device comprises a photovoltaic cell box, a connecting rod, a telescopic rod and an embedding positioning plate, a disc is fixed to the top of a mounting cover, a splitting rod is mounted in the disc in a penetrating mode, a hole groove is formed in the splitting rod, a solid connecting rod is installed in the photovoltaic cell box in a penetrating mode through a first threaded hole, a top plate is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cover, an embedded positioning plate is welded to the bottom of the top plate, a protection cover is slidably installed in the embedded positioning plate, two sets of electric sliding rods and long rods are installed at the bottom of the photovoltaic cell box, and the bottoms of the electric sliding rods are slidably connected with the telescopic rod. By arranging the connecting rod, the connecting rod penetrates through the interior of the photovoltaic cell box and is in threaded connection with the splitting rod penetrating and extending to the upper part of the disc, so that the device is assisted to realize flexible disassembly and assembly of the photovoltaic cell box and the telescopic rod, and the combined installation time of the device is shortened.
