How much does a security camera installation cost?
It depends on the number of cameras, how hard it is to run cable, the recorder and storage you choose, and any cloud subscription. We give you a written quote after we understand the property, so the price reflects your actual job.
Should I get wired or wireless cameras?
Wired cameras (PoE) get power and data through one cable, so they are the most reliable and never need charging. Wireless cameras are quicker to place where cable is hard to run but depend on good Wi-Fi and power. Many systems use a mix.
Can I watch my cameras on my phone?
Yes. We install the app on your phones, connect it to your system and show you how to watch live, get alerts and save clips before we leave.
Do the cameras keep recording if the internet goes down?
Cameras connected to a recorder on site keep recording without internet. You just cannot view them remotely until the connection comes back. Cloud-only cameras need internet to record.
How long does installation take?
Most home systems are installed in a day or less. Larger business systems can take longer. Your quote includes a time estimate. A typical 4-camera home system takes about one day.
Can you install cameras I already bought?
Yes. We install customer-supplied cameras from major brands, and we will tell you before the visit if something won’t work well where you want it.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Equipment carries the manufacturer’s warranty, typically 1 to 3 years, and our installation work is guaranteed for 1 year.
Are there rules about where I can point cameras?
Generally you can record your own property and public areas, but cameras should not look into a neighbor’s private spaces such as windows or fenced yards. Audio recording laws vary by state. We help you position cameras responsibly; for legal questions, check local laws.
