Where should cameras go on a South Slope brownstone?

The critical camera positions for a South Slope brownstone: (1) stoop/front entrance facing the sidewalk, (2) rear garden or yard, (3) parlor floor hallway if multi-unit, (4) any side alley or passageway. For South Slope brownstones with basement apartments, add a camera covering the below-grade entrance. We use discreet dome cameras that don’t clash with historic architecture.

Wired or wireless cameras for South Slope buildings?

For South Slope’s brownstones and row houses along 5th Avenue, wired PoE cameras are the only professional option. WiFi cameras can’t reliably penetrate the thick walls and floors of South Slope buildings. PoE (Power over Ethernet) delivers both power and data through a single Cat6 cable — stable 4K video with zero WiFi interference. Every South Slope installation uses wired systems.

Yes. Every camera we install in South Slope includes infrared night vision for zero-light recording. For South Slope properties with stoops, rear yards, and restaurant corridors, 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 South Slope cameras from my phone?

How do I stop package theft at my South Slope property?

A 4K camera aimed at your South Slope 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.

We design anti-theft camera layouts specifically for South Slope’s brownstones and row houses along 5th Avenue.

How do you hide camera wires on a South Slope property?

All cables at your South Slope property are concealed inside walls, through attics, basements, and existing conduit paths. Zero exposed wiring on the exterior.

The only visible elements are the cameras themselves.
