Security & Surveillance

Camera systems, access control and smart locks set up for clear evidence, secure access and straightforward remote viewing.

Security & Surveillance: Overview

Security is most effective when it is dependable day‑to‑day and easy to review when needed. We position PoE cameras for coverage and detail, size lenses for the scene, and set exposure for daytime and night conditions.

Storage is configured with practical retention so important events remain available. Roles and notifications are set so the right people receive alerts without noise.

Remote access is secured without opening public ports. For doors and access control we set schedules, holidays and audit logs and keep permissions clear so changes are straightforward.

A typical project starts with a walk‑through to identify entries, vehicle paths and areas that merit detail shots. We consider mounting height, sun angles and nighttime lighting, then select camera types that balance field of view and identification.

Cabling follows clean routes with protection where needed, and power and surge protection are planned from the start. After installation we confirm framing and focus, set motion zones, and test retention.

If access control is included, we verify fail‑safe/fail‑secure requirements with the AHJ, label door hardware and document credential enrollment. Finally, we provide a short reference on exporting clips and a service plan for periodic checks so the system continues to perform.
