Security Camera Installation Questions

Front door, driveway, back door, side yard, and any dark or hidden entry point are the standard starting positions. The site assessment identifies which of these apply to your property and whether landscaping or lot size creates additional blind spots that need coverage.

Most outdoor cameras include infrared night vision, but image quality depends on placement and IR range. Every camera is tested after dark before the installer leaves, and the angle is adjusted if the footage does not clearly cover the intended zone.

Wired cameras and secure outdoor mounts typically require drilling for the bracket and cable run. The amount of drilling depends on the surface material and where power needs to reach. The written estimate details exactly what work is involved before you commit.

Not always. Wireless cameras are easier to position, but weak Wi-Fi at the far end of a large lot, battery upkeep, or local recording limits can make a wired NVR setup the more dependable option. Signal is tested at each position during the assessment.

Without cameras in place, there is no recorded footage if a package is stolen, a vehicle is damaged, or someone enters the property. An incident that happens before the install produces no evidence and no way to identify who was responsible.

Yes. Each camera is connected to the NVR or DVR and confirmed in the mobile app before the installer leaves. Remote viewing and motion alert delivery are tested as part of the final sign-off, not left for the homeowner to figure out afterward.
