Commercial Surveillance Solutions

Turns facility size and priority zones into a practical starting range. This is not a quote, it is a baseline so you can plan budget and scope.

Estimates storage based on camera count and a realistic bitrate range. For accurate sizing, retention must be validated against motion level and settings.

Estimates sustained camera traffic and a practical uplink target. Useful for confirming whether the network is in-range before install.

Want verified answers, not estimates?

Send your facility type, priority zones, retention window, and any network constraints. We will confirm camera roles, storage range, and infrastructure headroom before you purchase.

Entrances, exits, and identification zones

Face capture in motion requires correct lens choice, stable exposure, and WDR performance, not just higher resolution.

Controlled access points and high-risk areas

Back-of-house doors, receiving, cash handling, and restricted zones should be designed for repeatable evidence, not wide-angle coverage.

Retention planning and storage reality

Retention depends on codec, frame rate, motion, and analytics rules. Under-sizing storage creates surprise costs and compliance risk.

Operational workflow and remote access

Evidence export, permissions, and remote viewing should be designed for how the team actually responds, without exposing the network.

Want us to confirm coverage and retention?

Share facility type, approximate square footage, camera count target, and retention requirement. We will confirm system fit and tradeoffs before you buy.

How many cameras do I need for a commercial site?

Start with priority zones, not square footage alone. Entrances, exits, and controlled access points are typically high value. After those are covered, add cameras to reduce blind spots in high-traffic areas and to protect after-hours access points. Camera count is a result of coverage geometry, ceiling height, and the identification level you need, not a fixed rule.

What retention window should I plan for?

Most commercial environments target 14 to 30 days for general coverage, with longer windows for regulated sites, repeat incident patterns, or slower investigation cycles. Retention is driven by bitrate, codec efficiency, motion, frame rate, and analytics settings. Storage should be sized to a real retention target, then validated against expected scene motion.

Is higher resolution always better?

No. Resolution cannot compensate for poor placement, overly wide lenses, bad exposure, or backlighting at entrances. Many investigation failures come from cameras that look fine in live view but cannot reliably identify a person in motion. Lens selection, WDR performance, and controlled field of view usually matter more than raw megapixels.

Do I need a VMS or an NVR?

It depends on scale and operational requirements. NVR deployments are often simpler for single sites with predictable needs. VMS deployments are better when you need multi-site management, granular user roles, more advanced analytics workflows, or integration with access control. The right choice is the one that supports how your team will review, export, and manage evidence over time.

What is the most common reason commercial systems fail?

The most common failure is evidence quality at the highest value zones: entrances, exits, and controlled doors. This usually comes from incorrect lens choice, backlighting, and camera placement that produces unusable identification during motion. The second most common issue is retention shortfall caused by under-sized storage or aggressive settings that drift over time.

Can you recommend a bundle without a floor plan?

Yes. A floor plan helps, but we can usually recommend a starting bundle with facility type, approximate square footage, ceiling height, priority zones, and a retention target. If you have high-risk zones or strict retention requirements, we will confirm tradeoffs before equipment is finalized.
