Surveillance Services

New deployment or major refresh

Start with System Design & Coverage Planning to define camera roles, placement intent, and platform fit before procurement.

Retention is unclear or storage feels expensive

Use Retention & Storage Sizing to model bitrate, motion load, and a real retention target before you buy larger recorders.

Cameras drop or the network is a question mark

Use Network & PoE Planning to validate PoE budgets, uplinks, VLAN approach, and headroom so the system stays stable.

System is live but evidence quality is unreliable

Start with System Audit & Coverage Review to identify the highest-value failures and prioritize remediation.

System Design & Coverage Planning

Define camera placement, lens intent, and coverage priorities so the system produces usable evidence where it matters.

Retention & Storage Sizing

Size storage to a target retention window and document tradeoffs before purchase and installation.

Network & PoE Planning

Validate PoE budgets, switching capacity, uplinks, and segmentation so the system is stable from day one.

Remote Admin & User Access Setup

Configure reliable remote access, role-based permissions, and export workflows without exposing the network.

Compliance & Policy Alignment

Align retention, access roles, and evidence workflows to written requirements and document the mapping.

Multi-Site Standardization Service

Create a documented standard for camera classes, retention, naming, and rollout across locations.

System Audit & Coverage Review

Identify blind spots, retention gaps, lighting failures, and access issues with a prioritized remediation plan.

Migration & Expansion Planning

Plan upgrades and expansions that preserve coverage continuity and validate capacity impacts.

Video Analytics Enablement

Enable analytics based on use case, validate camera suitability, and tune rules to reduce false alerts.

Health Check & Lifecycle Management

Evaluate retention stability, firmware posture, infrastructure headroom, and lifecycle risk.

Coverage & Camera Count Starter

A fast starter that turns facility size and priority zones into a baseline camera count and role mix.

Storage Estimator (lite)

Estimate storage based on per-camera bitrate, camera count, and retention days. Use this for quick budgeting. Use the full service for validated assumptions.

Bandwidth Snapshot Tool

Estimate sustained camera traffic, worst-case viewing bursts, and a conservative uplink target.

PoE Budget Snapshot

Model total PoE draw and a conservative switch budgeting target with headroom for cold starts, IR, and growth.

Need help choosing the right service?

Share facility type, camera count target, retention requirement, and any network constraints. We will recommend the right next step and the service that reduces risk fastest.

Do I need a service if I already know what cameras I want?

Camera selection is only part of the equation. Coverage geometry, retention sizing, network stability, and access control determine whether footage is usable when an incident occurs. Services exist to validate those variables before installation.

What is the most common reason deployments fail?

The most common failures are poor entrance identification, under-sized storage, overloaded PoE infrastructure, and remote access configured without security segmentation. All are preventable during planning.

Can these services be used for live systems?

Yes. Audit, retention validation, analytics tuning, and lifecycle reviews are designed specifically for systems that are already deployed but not producing consistent results.

How do I know which service to start with?

If you are unsure, start with System Design for new deployments or System Audit for existing ones. Both clarify the highest-impact issues and prevent misaligned spending.

Will this reduce long-term support costs?

Standardized camera roles, documented retention targets, validated network headroom, and controlled access structures reduce emergency troubleshooting, storage surprises, and configuration drift over time.

Do these services replace an integrator?

No. These services improve outcomes by aligning design intent and infrastructure planning before installation. They reduce installer variance and help ensure that the deployed system performs as expected.
