See what happens on your property.

It depends on the property and what you want to see, not a rule of thumb. Most homes land around four to eight to cover doors, driveway, and yard approaches with the overlap that actually catches an event. We map it at the walkthrough and tell you honestly where another camera earns its place and where it's just another feed to scroll past.

Outdoor cameras are weather- and glare-rated to run through heat, rain, and a dark night; indoor cameras can be smaller and more discreet because they aren't fighting the elements. We choose per location rather than one model everywhere, so each camera is right for where it sits.

As long as the storage you choose allows. Retention is a trade of camera count, resolution, and drive size — we size the drive to the number of days you want to be able to look back, and the oldest footage rolls off automatically once it's full.

Yes. Every system is set up with a mobile app so you can watch the live view and play back recorded footage from anywhere. We configure the remote access securely so your feed reaches you without leaving the recorder exposed.

Some cameras can, and whether that's appropriate depends on where they are and Texas law on recording conversations. We set audio to match what's sensible and legal for each location, and we'll talk it through at the walkthrough rather than leaving it on by default.

Recording itself happens locally on the NVR or DVR and keeps working even if your internet drops. Internet is only needed for remote viewing on your phone — a normal home connection is plenty, since the app streams on demand rather than uploading everything.

Yes. Everything in the surveillance shop is real hardware you can buy and take delivery of on its own — a single camera, a recorder, a drive, or a full camera-and-recorder kit. Professional installation is an option you add if you want it, never forced.

Often yes. If your existing cameras are standards-compatible and in good shape, we can fold them into a new recorder and design around them rather than making you rip and replace. We'll tell you honestly at the walkthrough if a camera is holding the system back.

The box may look identical; the sensor, lens, low-light performance, and firmware support usually aren't. We choose gear we can stand behind for years and service locally — and we tell you what you'd give up with the cheaper look-alike.
