How much does security camera installation cost?
The cost depends on the number and type of cameras, property size, cable routes, recording equipment and network requirements. We provide an estimate based on the specific property and system. Contact us for a free estimate.
Do security cameras require a monthly fee?
Not necessarily. Many professionally installed systems can use local NVR recording without requiring cloud storage. Some optional cloud, monitoring or third-party services may have recurring fees.
Can I view my security cameras from my phone?
Yes. Most modern systems we install support remote viewing from compatible mobile apps once the system has been configured.
Do you install security cameras for businesses?
Yes. We design and install camera systems for both residential and commercial properties, including offices, retail stores, warehouses and restaurants.
Can you install the network cabling for the cameras?
Yes. Depending on the project, we can integrate the network and structured cabling required for IP camera systems, including Cat6A runs, PoE switches and a dedicated VLAN for the security network.
What areas of Connecticut do you service?
We serve Fairfield County, Connecticut — including Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, Old Greenwich, Cos Cob, Riverside, Westport, Fairfield, Weston and Bridgeport. We also serve selected areas of Westchester County, NY.
Do I need a permit for security cameras in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, residential security cameras on your own property generally do not require a permit. However, if your system connects to police dispatch through a monitored alarm, some municipalities require an alarm permit. We advise on local requirements during your consultation.
How do you handle camera wiring in a finished home?
Concealed cabling in finished homes is a core part of our work. We use fish tapes, flex drill bits and attic or crawlspace access to run cable out of sight rather than surface-mounting conduit. We show you the planned cable path before any work starts.
How much recording storage will I need?
It depends on camera count, resolution and whether you record continuously or on motion. As a general guide, a 4–8 camera 4K system recording on motion is commonly specified around 4TB, and 8–16 cameras around 8TB, for a similar retention window. We size the storage for your system during the estimate so the NVR is specced correctly from day one.
