Video Surveillance

Cameras laid out for your property, so you can find what happened without digging for it.

Start with what you need to see

Most calls start after something has already happened and nobody can find the video. We start there. Which entrances, loading areas, and parking rows need a clear face or plate, and which areas just need a wide view so you know what went on.

One storefront or a campus with several buildings, the work is the same. We place cameras for the views you will actually pull later, and pick the platform that fits how you want to keep the video. That might be Avigilon Alta in the cloud or Unity on your own server. If you already run Milestone, Hanwha WAVE, Soterix, or Vicon, or your cameras are Pelco, we will work with what is there.

Detections cover people, vehicle types and colors, unusual activity, and sounds such as breaking glass. That detail makes alerts more useful and searches narrower.

  • Unusual activity: Flags loitering, a crowd forming fast, and movement that does not fit the place
  • Sound: The built-in microphone listens for screaming, breaking glass, and alarms
  • Vehicle color: Search for the red sedan, not just any sedan

Common questions about camera systems


How many days of video can I keep, and what decides that?

It depends on how many cameras you have, their resolution, how much activity they see and how much storage is in the recorder. We typically include 30 days by default. If you need more, tell us how many days and we will size the recorder to match. Add cameras to a quote list and the storage planner on the quote page estimates the recorder size.

Can you reuse the cameras or cabling I already have?

Often, yes. If your site already has cameras or a video system, we build on what’s there when it makes sense. Analog cameras can stay in service on encoders and move to IP when the budget to replace the cabling is available. Tell us what you have and we will tell you what is worth keeping.

Do I need a server on site, or can it record in the cloud?

Either. Avigilon Unity Video records on a server at your site. Avigilon Alta Video records on the camera and in the cloud, with no server to maintain.

Can I watch my cameras from my phone?

Yes. Both Avigilon Unity Video and Avigilon Alta Video have phone apps for live and recorded video.

Which of your cameras are NDAA compliant?

We have NDAA-compliant options from Avigilon, Pelco, Hanwha, and Vicon. We will design around whichever line works best for your specific site requirements.

What happens to recording if the internet goes down?

With Unity Video, nothing changes, because recording happens on the server at your site. With Alta Video, the cameras keep recording to their own storage and send it to the cloud when the connection comes back. Until it does, you will not see those cameras in the cloud view, though you can still log in to a camera directly on site if you need to.
