Wired PoE cameras are far more reliable. New York’s brick and concrete construction blocks WiFi signals between floors and rooms. Hardwired PoE cameras deliver stable 4K video 24/7 regardless of wall thickness.
Can I view my Queens cameras from my phone?
Every system includes remote viewing via smartphone, tablet, or desktop. Live feeds, recorded footage, and motion alerts from anywhere. No monthly charge.

Most Queens residential properties need 4–8 cameras. Commercial properties need 8–20+ depending on size. We map exact placement during the free on-site assessment.
Do I need a permit to install security cameras in Queens?
In most cases no permit is required. NYS has a two-party consent law for audio recording. Cameras cannot be pointed into a neighbor’s private space. Historic districts may require additional approvals.
Can you install cameras and intercom together in Queens?
Yes — and we recommend it. Installing cameras and intercom together saves on labor because both systems share low-voltage infrastructure. One installer, one visit.
What security camera brands do you install in Queens?
Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and other commercial-grade brands. We do not install Ring, Nest, or Arlo — those lack the reliability and NVR integration that professional properties require.
Can cameras record at night in Queens?
Yes. Every outdoor camera includes infrared night vision capturing clear footage in total darkness up to 120 feet. Premium models include full-color night vision.
How long does installation take in Queens?
Residential: 4–8 hours. Commercial: 4–8 hours to 3 days for larger systems. We complete everything in one visit whenever possible — cameras mounted, NVR configured, remote access set up.
What’s the difference between DVR and NVR in Queens?
DVR uses coaxial cable and analog cameras. NVR uses Cat5e/Cat6 and HD IP cameras — higher resolution and easier smartphone access. For new installations we recommend NVR.

Yes. Camera repair, DVR/NVR troubleshooting, and system maintenance throughout Queens. Same-day service available for urgent situations.
Can you install cameras on older buildings in Queens?
Yes. We specialize in older construction — masonry anchoring, cables through interior walls, color-matched covers for exterior runs. We never staple cables across building facades.

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