Your Questions Answered

Security Camera Installation & Services Questions Answered

How much does security camera installation cost in New York?

A 4-camera residential system with NVR starts at $850 installed. Commercial systems run $1,500–$5,000+. Call (347) 934-8335 for a free on-site estimate.

Do you install wired or wireless cameras?

We install wired PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) cameras for maximum reliability. New York's brick and concrete construction degrades WiFi signals. Wired cameras deliver stable 4K video 24/7.

Can I view cameras from my phone?

Yes. Every system includes remote viewing via smartphone, tablet, or desktop. Live feeds, recorded footage, and motion alerts — free, no monthly charge.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. Your NVR records locally to an on-site hard drive. No cloud subscription, no monitoring contract, no recurring charges. Pay once, own the system forever.

What camera brands do you install?

Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and other commercial-grade brands built for reliability and weatherproofing. We do not install Ring, Nest, or Arlo.

What areas do you serve?

All five NYC boroughs plus Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, and Ulster Counties.

Can you install cameras on Albany brownstones and historic buildings?

Yes. We use masonry-specific anchoring designed for brick and limestone facades. Cables run through interior walls and basements. In NYC landmark districts we install hardware that complies with Landmarks Preservation Commission guidelines without damaging protected architecture.

Are wired or wireless cameras better for Albany properties?

Wired PoE cameras are significantly more reliable. New York’s brick, concrete, and steel construction degrades WiFi signals between floors and rooms. Wired PoE cameras receive both power and data through a single Ethernet cable, delivering stable 4K video 24/7.

How long does security camera installation take in Albany?

Most residential installations take 4–8 hours for a 4–8 camera system. Commercial installations typically take 4–8 hours. Large multi-unit buildings may span 1–3 days. We complete cameras mounted, wired, NVR configured, and remote access on your phone before we leave.

What security camera brands do you install in Albany?

We install professional-grade cameras from Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and other commercial-grade brands built for reliability, weatherproofing, and smart detection. We do not install Ring, Nest, or Arlo — those are designed for DIY and lack the durability and NVR integration that New York properties need.

Can I upgrade my existing Albany security cameras to 4K?

Yes. If you have existing coaxial cable we can upgrade to HD analog cameras without new wiring. For full 4K IP quality, new Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable is needed — but we often reuse existing cable paths. We evaluate your current wiring during the free on-site assessment.

Is there a monthly fee for security cameras in Albany?

No. We install a local NVR that stores footage on-site. No cloud subscription, no monthly monitoring contract, no recurring charges. Remote smartphone access is free and included. Pay once, own the system forever.

Can security cameras reduce crime in Albany?

Yes. Visible security cameras are one of the most effective crime deterrents available. Our active deterrent cameras go further — triggering built-in sirens and two-way audio when motion is detected, letting you address situations in real time from your phone.

Do you install intercom systems alongside cameras in Albany?

Yes — and we recommend it. Installing intercom and security cameras together saves on labor because both systems share similar low-voltage infrastructure. A lobby camera paired with a video intercom gives you both visual verification and recorded footage of everyone who enters.
