Answers to common questions about our CCTV installation and security services.
CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) systems use cameras to capture video footage which is transmitted to monitors and recorders over a private network. Modern systems often include digital NVRs, remote viewing via mobile apps, and analytics like motion detection.
Installation costs vary based on camera count, type (analog vs. IP), wiring complexity, and features like night-vision or PTZ. On average, residential setups range from $1,200–$3,500, while commercial projects can start at $5,000 and up.
Most residential CCTV installations do not require building permits, but local regulations vary. Commercial properties or installations involving new wiring may need electrical permits. We handle permit research and filings as part of our service.
A standard residential installation with 4–8 cameras usually takes 4–6 hours. Larger or more complex commercial systems can take one to several days, depending on site size and custom requirements.

Minimal maintenance is needed—periodic cleaning of camera lenses, firmware updates, and routine checks of connections. We offer annual maintenance plans that include system inspections, software updates, and troubleshooting.
All installations come with a 1-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer warranties on cameras and recorders (typically 2–3 years). We provide 24/7 technical support and optional extended service plans.
