Do you supply the cameras or do I need to buy them?
Both options work. We can supply and install a complete system, or you can purchase the cameras yourself and we’ll handle the professional installation. If you’re not sure what to buy, we’re happy to advise based on your property layout and budget.
What is the difference between wired and wireless security cameras?
Wired (PoE) cameras connect via CAT6 cable to a central NVR recorder — they are more reliable, never need battery changes, and provide better video quality. Wireless cameras connect over Wi-Fi and are easier to add to locations where running cable is difficult, but require power outlets and depend on Wi-Fi signal strength.
How many cameras do I need for my home?
Most homes are well-served by 4–8 cameras covering the front door, back door, driveway, garage, and side gates. We assess your property and recommend coverage based on entry points and sight lines.
Can I view the cameras from my phone?
Yes. Both wired NVR systems and wireless cameras support remote viewing via smartphone apps. We configure your system before we leave so you can see live and recorded footage immediately.
Do security cameras require a permit in Sacramento?
The cameras themselves generally do not require a permit. However, running new electrical circuits or installing new exterior outlets (which are often needed for camera power) may require a permit. We handle any necessary permits as part of the installation.
