Camera placement for Kensington properties with shared walls, small yards, and busy avenues: (1) front entrance facing the street, (2) driveway or parking area, (3) rear of property, (4) any side access points. For multi-unit Kensington buildings, add lobby, hallway, and stairwell coverage. We do a free on-site walkthrough to identify every angle that needs coverage.

Wired or wireless cameras for Kensington buildings?

For Kensington’s row houses and apartment buildings along Church Avenue, wired PoE cameras are the only professional option. WiFi cameras can’t reliably penetrate the thick walls and floors of Kensington buildings. PoE (Power over Ethernet) delivers both power and data through a single Cat6 cable — stable 4K video with zero WiFi interference. Every Kensington installation uses wired systems.

Do your cameras work at night in Kensington?

Yes. Every camera we install in Kensington includes infrared night vision for zero-light recording. For Kensington properties with shared walls, small yards, and busy avenues, we also install color night vision cameras that capture full-color footage using ambient streetlight — critical for identifying clothing colors and vehicle details. Night vision range: 100-200+ feet depending on the camera model.

Can I watch my Kensington cameras from my phone?

Yes — included free with every Kensington installation. Live video, recorded playback, motion alerts, and two-way audio on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. No monthly fee for remote access. We set up the app on your phone before leaving your Kensington property and walk you through every feature.

How do I stop package theft at my Kensington property?

A 4K camera aimed at your Kensington stoop or lobby entrance captures package thieves in facial-recognition quality. Active deterrent cameras with built-in sirens and strobes scare them off before they grab anything. For Kensington apartment buildings, lobby cameras paired with a video intercom ensure only authorized visitors enter. We design anti-theft camera layouts specifically for Kensington’s row houses and apartment buildings along Church Avenue.

How do you hide camera wires on a Kensington property?

All cables at your Kensington property are concealed inside walls, through attics, basements, and existing conduit paths. Zero exposed wiring on the exterior. For Kensington’s row houses and apartment buildings along Church Avenue, we use fish tape and specialized tools to route cables through finished walls without patching or painting. The only visible elements are the cameras themselves.

With the NVR systems we install in Kensington, you get 30-90+ days of continuous 24/7 recording depending on camera count and hard drive size.

We size the NVR hard drive to your specific Kensington system.

Can you add cameras to my existing system in Kensington?

Yes. If your Kensington property has an existing NVR with available channels, we add cameras to your current system without replacing anything.

What camera brands do you install in Kensington?

We install Hikvision, Dahua, and Lorex — commercial-grade brands built for 24/7 recording in NYC conditions. We don’t install Ring, Nest, Arlo, Wyze, or Night Owl — these consumer WiFi cameras aren’t reliable enough for Kensington’s row houses and apartment buildings along Church Avenue. Our cameras deliver true 4K resolution, weatherproof housings, and PoE wiring with zero monthly fees.

No. Zero monthly fees, zero subscriptions, zero contracts. Your Kensington camera system records locally to an NVR at your property. Remote smartphone access is free. You own the entire system outright. This is a one-time investment — not a recurring expense.
