Professional Installation Services
Camera Types and Placement
When you work with us, you’re getting more than just someone to mount cameras on your walls. Our technicians are experienced in all aspects of security camera system installation, including configuring your Network Video Recorder (NVR) for optimal performance, setting up remote viewing capabilities so you can check your cameras from anywhere, installing both wireless and wired camera systems based on your property’s needs, and running professional-grade cabling that’s concealed and protected for a clean, finished look.
We understand that every property is different. A sprawling warehouse in Cleveland has completely different surveillance needs than a cozy home in Cuyahoga Falls. That’s why we take the time to assess your specific situation and recommend solutions that actually make sense for you.
The right camera in the right location makes all the difference. We work with various camera types and brands to ensure complete coverage of your property, including dome cameras for discreet indoor monitoring, bullet cameras for outdoor perimeter security, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras for large areas requiring active monitoring, and infrared night vision cameras for 24/7 surveillance. Our team conducts a thorough site assessment to identify vulnerable areas, blind spots, and optimal camera placement locations that maximize your coverage while minimizing the number of cameras needed.
Trusted Brands We Work With
We partner with industry-leading manufacturers known for reliability and performance. When you work with us, you’re getting equipment that’s built to last, including Hikvision for comprehensive IP camera solutions and robust NVR systems, Anabon offering excellent value with user-friendly interfaces, Reolink providing innovative wireless and PoE camera options, UNV delivering reliable security for homes and businesses, Ubiquiti supplying professional-grade commercial systems. These brands offer affordability with advanced features.
We help you navigate the options and select brands and models that fit your budget while meeting your security requirements. Not sure which brand is right for you? We’ll explain the differences and help you make an informed decision.
We Service Both Residential & Commercial Locations
Residential Security Camera Systems
Your home is your sanctuary, and you deserve to feel safe there. Our residential NVR camera installations help Northeast Ohio homeowners protect their families and property with reliable, easy-to-use surveillance systems.
Common Residential Applications
We’ve helped homeowners throughout the Akron area and surrounding communities with monitoring front doors and driveways to deter package thieves, keeping an eye on backyards and side yards, watching over detached garages and sheds, monitoring children’s play areas, observing elderly family members for safety, and documenting any suspicious activity around the property.
A homeowner needed to monitor their short term rental property by adding 4 cameras around the house. They are able to monitor guests coming and going from their property and the perimeter of the house, including AC compressor units and pool heating controls. They recently contacted us to help with obtaining footage of guests manually overriding the pool / spa heat controls when they did not pay for them. Saving them hundreds of dollars in potential unaccounted heating expenses.
Home System Features
Our residential systems typically include 4 to 16 cameras depending on property size, NVRs with 1 to 4 terabytes of storage for weeks or months of footage, mobile app access for iOS and Android devices, motion detection alerts sent directly to your phone, and weatherproof cameras rated for Ohio’s harsh winters and hot summers.
Commercial Security Camera Systems
Business owners throughout Northeast Ohio trust us to protect their investments. Whether you run a retail store, restaurant, warehouse, or office building, we design commercial-grade video surveillance systems that meet your security and liability needs.
Commercial Applications
Our commercial installations serve a wide range of industries and purposes, including retail stores deterring shoplifting and monitoring checkout areas, restaurants observing dining rooms and kitchen operations, warehouses tracking inventory and loading dock activity, offices monitoring entrances and protecting sensitive areas, medical facilities ensuring patient and staff safety, automotive shops documenting vehicle condition and work performed, and apartment complexes securing common areas and parking lots.
One of our recent customers in Cleveland wanted to keep tabs on their business operations and parking lot. We installed 20 weatherproof cameras with night vision that gives them complete coverage inside and out. Their building has a very large footprint which includes: warehousing, production, shipping/receiving and office spaces. We used a combination of turret, bullet, 360 dome and PTZ cameras to give comprehensive coverage of all critical areas. Now they can check in from work or home anytime using their web browser, tablet or phone. They can keep tabs on their vehicles, employee productivity and also make sure products they ship and receive are all accounted for if a discrepancy should arise.
Business System Benefits
Commercial systems offer advanced features like higher resolution cameras for identifying faces, license plates and inventory control, larger storage capacity for extended retention periods, multiple user accounts with different permission levels, integration with access control and alarm systems, and professional-grade equipment backed by manufacturer warranties.

Our Installation Process: From Consultation to Completion
We’ve refined our process to make getting a professional security camera system as stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
Step 1: Free Consultation
Call, email, or use our online form to describe what you need. We’ll ask a few questions to understand your situation.
We start with a conversation about your security concerns and goals. Are you worried about package theft? Do you need to monitor multiple entrances? Are you looking to keep an eye on inventory or equipment? Understanding your needs helps us design the perfect system.
Step 2: Property Assessment
We visit your property in person to evaluate the layout, identify optimal camera locations, assess existing infrastructure, and determine if wireless or wired cameras are best for your situation. During this visit, we’ll also discuss your budget and recommend equipment that delivers the best value for your investment.
Step 3: Custom System Design
Based on our assessment, we create a detailed proposal that includes the number and types of cameras recommended, NVR specifications and storage capacity, a layout showing camera positions and coverage areas, and a transparent quote with no hidden fees. We walk you through everything so you understand exactly what you’re getting.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Once you approve the design, we schedule the installation at a time that’s convenient for you. Our technicians arrive on time with all necessary equipment, complete the installation efficiently and cleanly, run and conceal all cabling for a professional appearance, and thoroughly test every camera and the NVR system.
Step 5: Hands-On Training
Before we leave, we make sure you’re completely comfortable with your new system. We provide hands-on training for accessing your cameras, show you how to review recorded footage, set up mobile viewing on your smartphone or tablet, and explain basic maintenance and troubleshooting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cameras do I need for my property?
The number of cameras depends on your property size and what you want to monitor. For a typical single-family home, 4 to 8 cameras usually provide good coverage. We’ll assess your property during our consultation and recommend the optimal number based on entry points, vulnerable areas, and your budget.
What’s the difference between wired and wireless cameras?
Wired cameras connect via ethernet cable and are extremely reliable with no signal interference. They’re ideal for permanent installations and don’t require battery changes. Wireless cameras offer easier installation and flexibility but depend on WiFi signal strength. They also need a power source: either battery, power cord to an interior or exterior outlet or solar panel. We’ll recommend the best option based on your property layout and internet infrastructure.
How long does footage stay recorded?
Storage duration depends on your NVR’s hard drive capacity, number of cameras, and recording quality settings. Most residential systems store 2 to 4 weeks of continuous footage, while commercial systems may retain 30 to 90 days or more. We’ll size your storage based on your retention needs.
Can I view my cameras remotely?
Absolutely! All our NVR systems include remote viewing capabilities. You can watch live footage or review recordings from your smartphone, tablet, or computer from anywhere with an internet connection. We’ll set up the mobile apps and show you how to use them.
Will the cameras work at night?
Yes, all our cameras include infrared night vision technology that allows them to record clear video in complete darkness, typically up to 30 to 100 feet depending on the camera model. Some can even do full color at night! You’ll have 24/7 surveillance coverage regardless of lighting conditions.
What happens if my internet goes down?
Your cameras will continue recording to the NVR even without internet. You won’t be able to view them remotely during the outage, but all footage will be saved locally. Once internet is restored, remote access resumes immediately.
Do you provide warranties on equipment and installation?
Yes, all equipment comes with manufacturer warranties ranging from 1 to 6 years. Our installation work is also guaranteed, and we provide ongoing technical support if you ever have issues or questions.
How much does a typical system cost?
System costs vary based on the number of cameras, equipment quality, and installation complexity. Basic residential systems typically start around $1,000 to $2,000, while larger commercial installations can range higher. We provide detailed quotes during your consultation so there are no surprises.
Can you integrate cameras with my existing alarm system?
In many cases, yes. Modern NVR systems can often integrate with access control systems, alarms, and other security infrastructure. We’ll assess your current setup and discuss integration options during your consultation.
Will you install cameras I provide?
Yes, we can even help you with your Nest, Ring, Wyze, Eufy or other brand cameras. We can not only install them, but also setup the appropriate apps and smart home features they may offer such as Alexa, Apple Home Kit or Google Home integration.
