Secure Your HomeView Hardware

Enterprise Grade

The equipment your cloud camera company doesn't want you to know about.

4K Night Vision

PoE bullet and dome cameras. Power over Ethernet — one cable for power AND data. No outlets needed at the camera. Reads license plates at 200 feet in complete darkness.

Local NVR Storage

Stop paying $10/month per camera to store footage in someone else's cloud. We install high-capacity local drives: 30+ days of continuous 24/7 recording stored inside YOUR home.

Smart Doorbells

Ring and Nest doorbells hardwired directly to your home's existing chime wiring. Continuous power. No charging. No dead doorbell at 2am when it matters.

Five steps from blind spots to 4K coverage.

01

Site survey

We walk your property, identify blind spots, map cable runs through the attic, and check Wi-Fi and PoE switch capacity.

02

Design

Camera count, lens selection (wide vs. telephoto), night-vision range, and NVR storage sized for your 24/7 recording needs.

03

Install

Cat6 run through the attic and wall cavities. Ubiquiti or Araknis cameras mounted on soffits, eaves, or brick with sealed junction boxes.

04

Commissioning

05

Frequently asked questions.

No. Unlike consumer alarm companies, we install enterprise-grade cameras with local NVR storage (Network Video Recorder). You own the equipment and the video footage with zero monthly fees.
Yes. Running Ethernet (POE) through attics and exterior walls is structural work. We are fully insured and adhere to all DFW residential and commercial building codes to protect you from liability.
We strictly supply commercial-grade surveillance hardware like Ubiquiti Protect and Araknis. These cameras offer superior night vision, optical zoom, and build quality compared to big-box consumer brackets.
Never. Aesthetic integration is a priority. We fish all Cat6 wiring internally through attics and wall cavities so the only thing visible is the camera itself. We focus on the bigger picture of your home's layout.
Yes. We offer a solid lifetime warranty on our installation labor, and the commercial hardware we use comes with dedicated manufacturer warranties spanning multiple years.

Your current cameras have a 30-second cloud delay. A lot happens in 30 seconds.

Hardwired. Local storage. Instant playback. That's real security.
