Frequently Asked

Security Cameras & Access Control — Questions We Hear Most

Straight answers to the questions prospective clients ask before signing on. Don't see yours? Ask us directly — we'll put it in writing.

What camera brands do you deploy?
UniFi Protect and Verkada for cloud-managed ease, Axis and Hanwha for higher-end commercial, Hikvision and Dahua only for non-federal sites (banned in federal environments per NDAA).
Can I view cameras remotely?
Yes — mobile app and web portal from any location. Live view, playback, sharing links, and multi-site consolidation. Access control by user with audit logs.
How much video storage do I need?
Depends on camera count, resolution, and retention. Rough estimate: 30 days of 1080p on 8 cameras ≈ 2-4 TB. We calculate precisely during design. Longer retention or higher resolution scales up.
Can cameras record 24/7 or only on motion?
Both — configurable per camera. Continuous recording for high-activity areas, motion-triggered for less-trafficked zones. Mixed modes reduce storage without losing important footage.
Do you integrate cameras with access control?
Yes — unified dashboard: when someone badges in at the door, the camera clips from that moment are linked automatically. Investigations that used to take hours take minutes.
Can I get alerts for specific events?
Yes — person detection, vehicle detection, zone entry, line crossing, loitering. Notifications to phone or email when something matches. Eliminates the "nothing happened for 8 hours" scrolling.
How are cameras secured from hackers?
Isolated VLAN, no direct internet exposure, firmware updates managed by us, strong authentication, and default-password rotation. The news stories about hacked cameras are almost always default credentials.
Can I run cameras on my existing office network?
Yes — but we recommend a dedicated camera VLAN and PoE switch. Keeps camera traffic isolated from business traffic and simplifies troubleshooting. Usually one additional switch, not a whole new network.
Do you also provide keycard / fob access control?
Yes — cloud-managed access control with credential management, schedules, audit logs, and integration with cameras and alarm systems. Badge-in events tied to camera footage for quick review.
What's a typical install time?
Small office (4-8 cameras): 1-2 days. Mid-size (12-24 cameras, access control on 4-6 doors): 3-5 days. Large facility: scoped per project. Includes configuration, commissioning, and training.
