Security Camera Installation in New Jersey

Who we install cameras for

Homeowners who want to see the driveway, the yard and the front door from their phone. Store owners who need clear checkout and stockroom coverage. Offices and medical practices that need entrances and parking covered. Warehouses and yards where the cameras have to work at night, in the rain, across long distances. Property managers and HOAs that need shared access to footage without handing out one password to everyone.

How a camera project works

It starts with a walk of the property. We look at what you actually need to see, where people and cars come in, where the light changes during the day, and how cable can get from each camera back to the recorder without ugly runs.

From that we put together a camera plan: which camera goes where, what lens and resolution it needs, and how many days of recording you get. You get that plan with a written estimate.

On install day we run network cable, mount and aim each camera, set up the NVR, and set motion and analytics rules so you get the alerts that matter and not every passing leaf. Before we leave we set up the app on your phone and show you how to find and export a clip.

License plate recognition (LPR) cameras

For driveways, gated communities, parking lots and loading docks, a standard camera usually cannot read a plate on a moving car, especially at night. LPR cameras are built for that one job, with the right shutter speed, infrared and placement for the lane they watch.

We install LPR cameras that you own outright and that record to your own system. If you found us searching for Flock cameras: we do not resell the Flock subscription service, but we can talk you through owner-operated LPR as an option for your property.

Upgrading or fixing an existing system

A lot of our calls are for systems someone else put in: a dead DVR, cameras that went blurry, an app that stopped connecting, or analog cameras that are simply too old. We can troubleshoot and repair what you have, and when it makes sense we reuse existing cable to keep the cost of an upgrade down.

What affects the price

The number of cameras, how far and how hard the cable runs are (finished ceilings, brick, outdoor trenching), the camera resolution and analytics you choose, how many days of footage you want to keep, and whether you want a local recorder, a cloud platform or both. We price each of those on the estimate so you can see where the money goes and adjust.
