Need camera placement or system design work? Engineering time is $175 per hour (qty 1 = 1 hour). Hardware buyers get up to one hour ($175) credited back on their order.
No bots, just experts.
Free pre-sales support for every customer. Paid services available like full system design, remote installation, and more. This product is the paid engineering-design service — qty 1 = 1 hour.
The quantity you select is the number of engineering hours you are purchasing. Need 10 hours, set qty to 10. Need 4 hours, set qty to 4. Each unit of this product is one hour of surveillance engineering design time from our senior commercial-surveillance team.
Time spent on the engineering problems that drive a successful deployment: camera placement from a floor plan, NVR and switch sizing, network and PoE planning, compliance review (NDAA, HIPAA, DEA, cannabis state regulations, PCI), multi-vendor integration design, and delivered specification documents you can hand to an integrator or use for your own install.
Hardware-purchase credit.
Buy hardware from us after the engagement and we credit back up to one hour ($175) against your hardware order as a thank-you for buying from us. One-time credit per engagement — not a full refund, but a meaningful gesture.
Got a list of products? BOM questions? Compatibility check? Product comparisons? We answer free, typically within one business day. Volume pricing on qualifying orders. No bots — every answer comes from an expert on our team.
Do not need to purchase this service just to ask a pre-sales question.
You need camera placement from a floor plan, NVR sizing, compliance audit, or multi-vendor integration design — that is this product. Buy by the hour at $175/hour, transparent pricing.

Examples of what fits in a single hour, based on typical engagements:
For a typical 8 to 20 hour full-site design engagement, you receive:
Engineering design is real work — 8 to 40+ hours per site. We stopped giving it away free in exchange for a shot at a hardware order. Charging puts honest time against honest work. Pre-sales support stays free (no bots, just experts); hardware buyers also get up to one hour ($175) credited back on their order.
Yes. Pre-sales tech support is free for every customer — product questions, BOM quotes, compatibility checks, price confirmation. Just contact us. This product is for paid engineering-design work that goes beyond pre-sales scope.
Submit a brief first — free. We scope the hours with you, then you purchase the matching quantity. Qty = hours. Typical single-site reviews run 3-4 hours (qty 3-4); full system designs 8-20 hours (qty 8-20).
No. The design document is yours. Most customers buy from us because volume pricing is worth it, but there is no purchase obligation.
If you buy hardware from us after the engagement, we credit back up to one hour ($175) against your hardware order. One-time credit per engagement; does not scale with engagement size or hardware-order size. A thank-you for buying from us, not a full refund.
Single-site design: 2-4 weeks from intro call to delivered document. Full system design: 3-6 weeks. Multi-site and enterprise: 4-8 weeks. Rush engagements available at 1.5x standard pricing.
Install is typically done by a local integrator. We also offer paid remote installation as a separate service if that fits your scope. The design document is written to be handed off cleanly to any installer.
