Commercial Security Camera Installation for NYC Businesses
Axis cameras and Genetec video management, on an NVR or in the cloud, installed by the same team that runs the cabling and the network behind them. One team, no finger-pointing.
What we do
Security camera installation — what's included
Cameras are network devices. We plan them that way, from the cable run to the recording server.
Site walk & camera layout
We walk the space, mark camera positions and fields of view, and give you a layout and equipment list.
Axis cameras
Fixed, dome, multi-sensor and PTZ cameras from Axis, chosen for each spot's lighting and distance.
Genetec video management
Genetec Security Center for viewing, search and user permissions across cameras and sites.
NVR or cloud recording
Record on-site on an NVR, in the cloud, or both, with retention sized to how long you need footage.
Cabling & PoE switching
Cat6 runs to every camera and PoE switches sized for their power, tested and labeled.
Secure network & remote viewing
Cameras on their own isolated network, with secure remote viewing for the people who need it.
How it works
How a camera project runs
Four steps, usually done after hours so your business stays open.
1. Site walk & layout
We mark every camera position, confirm what each one needs to see, and agree how long footage is kept.
2. Equipment list & quote
You get the camera list, recording option, storage size and cabling scope in one quote.
3. Cable, install & configure
We run and test the cable, mount the cameras, set up recording and check every view with you.
4. Hand over & monitor
You get the app, user accounts and documentation. We can watch for offline cameras and recording gaps.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Axis cameras with Genetec video management, and Cisco Meraki MV cameras for businesses that want everything in the Meraki dashboard.
An NVR keeps footage on-site and has no monthly storage fee. Cloud recording keeps footage safe if the site loses power or the recorder is stolen, and is easier for multiple locations. Many businesses use an NVR with cloud backup for key cameras.
Multiply each camera's bitrate in megabits per second by 10.8 to get gigabytes per day. For example, a camera averaging 4 Mb/s uses about 43 GB a day, or about 1.3 TB for 30 days. Actual bitrate depends on resolution, frame rate, compression and how much motion the camera sees.
Yes. We run, test and label the cable to every camera and install the PoE switches that power them, so one team owns the whole system.
Yes. Cameras go on their own isolated network segment, so a compromised camera can't reach your computers or servers.
