De-risk your surveillance deployment before you buy
Coverage geometry, retention sizing, network stability, and access control determine whether a system works when it matters. These services validate the design before installation.
Not sure where to start?
Most systems fail in the same places. Match your situation to the right service.
Service Areas
Each service addresses a specific failure mode. Most projects need 2-3.
System Design & Coverage Planning
Define camera placement, lens intent, and coverage priorities so the system produces usable evidence where it matters.
- Camera roles & placement map
- Lens selection by zone
- Platform fit assessment
Retention & Storage Sizing
Size storage to a target retention window and document tradeoffs before purchase and installation.
- Bitrate modeling per camera
- RAID & overhead planning
- Recorder recommendation
Network & PoE Planning
Validate PoE budgets, switching capacity, uplinks, and segmentation so the system is stable from day one.
- PoE budget validation
- VLAN segmentation plan
- Uplink capacity check
Remote Admin & User Access Setup
Configure reliable remote access, role-based permissions, and export workflows without exposing the network.
- Secure remote viewing
- Role-based permissions
- Evidence export workflows
Compliance & Policy Alignment
Align retention, access roles, and evidence workflows to written requirements and document the mapping.
- Retention policy mapping
- Access control documentation
- Evidence chain procedures
Multi-Site Standardization
Create a documented standard for camera classes, retention, naming, and rollout across locations.
- Camera class standards
- Naming conventions
- Rollout templates
System Audit & Coverage Review
Identify blind spots, retention gaps, lighting failures, and access issues with a prioritized remediation plan.
- Coverage gap analysis
- Retention verification
- Prioritized fix list
Migration & Expansion Planning
Plan upgrades and expansions that preserve coverage continuity and validate capacity impacts.
- Migration path planning
- Capacity impact analysis
- Phased upgrade roadmap
Video Analytics Enablement
Enable analytics based on use case, validate camera suitability, and tune rules to reduce false alerts.
- Use case validation
- Camera compatibility check
- Alert tuning & testing
Health Check & Lifecycle Management
Evaluate retention stability, firmware posture, infrastructure headroom, and lifecycle risk.
- Firmware assessment
- Capacity headroom check
- EOL risk identification
Planning Calculators
Quick estimation tools for project scoping. For validated designs with documented assumptions, use the matching service or call 877-277-7147.
Coverage & Camera Count
Turns facility size and priority zones into a baseline camera count.
Storage Estimator
Estimate storage from bitrate, camera count, and retention days.
Bandwidth Snapshot
Estimate sustained traffic, viewing bursts, and uplink target.
PoE Budget Snapshot
Model total PoE draw and switch budgeting target with headroom.
Want validated sizing instead of estimates?
Tell us camera count, retention target, and any network constraints. We will confirm storage, PoE, and platform fit before you buy.
Need help choosing the right service?
Share your facility type, camera count, retention target, and network constraints. We will recommend the service that reduces risk fastest.
