What's Included?
We handle the entire process from planning to final walkthrough — you don't need to figure out camera placement, cable routing, or recorder setup on your own.
- Site survey — we walk your property and recommend camera positions based on entry points, blind spots, and coverage goals
- Professional mounting — cameras securely mounted at optimal angles, indoors or outdoors, with weatherproof housing where needed
- Clean wiring — cables routed through walls, ceilings, or conduit so there are no exposed wires or messy installations
- NVR/DVR setup — your recording device configured for continuous or motion-triggered recording with the right retention period for your needs
- Remote access — view your cameras from your phone or computer, anywhere you have internet
- Walkthrough and training — we show you how to use the system, review footage, and manage recordings
What Affects the Price?
The base price covers a standard installation. Here's what can increase the cost:
- Number of cameras — more cameras means more mounting, wiring, and configuration time
- Cable run length — longer distances between cameras and the recorder require more cable and labor
- Difficult mounting locations — high ceilings, brick/concrete walls, or outdoor installations in hard-to-reach spots
- Network infrastructure — if your network can't support IP cameras, we may need to add a switch or run additional network cable
- Hardware — cameras and NVR are quoted separately based on your needs (we can recommend brands and models or work with equipment you already own)
What we recommend
For most small businesses, 4-8 cameras with an NVR that stores 30 days of footage is the sweet spot. We'll help you find the right balance between coverage and budget during the site survey.
PoE vs. WiFi Cameras
We strongly recommend PoE (Power over Ethernet) cameras over WiFi cameras. Here's why:
- Reliability — wired cameras don't drop off the network when WiFi gets congested or goes down
- One cable does everything — a single Ethernet cable carries both power and video, so there's no need for a power outlet at every camera
- Better video quality — wired connections handle higher resolution and continuous recording without buffering
- Security — wired cameras can't be jammed or interfered with like WiFi signals can
WiFi cameras have their place (rental properties, temporary setups), but for permanent business installations, wired is the way to go.
How Long Does It Take?
A typical 4-camera installation takes half a day to a full day. Larger installations (8+ cameras) or complex wiring may take 1-2 days. We'll give you a time estimate during the site survey so you can plan accordingly.
