How many cameras do I need?
Fewer than most companies will try to sell you. It depends on your entrances, blind spots, and what you need to identify versus just observe. The walkthrough answers this properly — that is why it is free.
Is there a monthly fee?
Not for the core system. Footage records to an NVR on site, which you own. Optional cloud backup is available if you want an off-site copy, but it is your choice, not a requirement.
How long is footage kept?
Typically two weeks to a month or more, depending on the number of cameras, resolution, and drive size. We size the storage to the retention you actually want.
Can I view the cameras on my phone?
Yes — live view and recorded playback from anywhere, on phone, tablet, or computer. I set it up and show you how it works before I leave.
Do you work on existing camera systems?
Often, yes. If you have cameras that were installed badly or a system nobody ever configured, I can assess it and tell you whether it is worth fixing or replacing.
Will it work with my internet?
The system records locally, so it keeps recording even if your internet goes down. Remote viewing needs internet, and I will check that your connection and network can handle it during the walkthrough.
