IP cameras · PoE · NVR recordingSecurity camera installation in Toronto & the GTA.
We mount IP cameras, run a PoE cable back to the recorder, set up the NVR and storage, and show you how to watch live and play footage back from your phone.
What’s included.
We agree the views first, then mount the cameras, pull a PoE run to each one, set up the recorder and storage, and hand over working live and remote viewing.

Position views around useful identification, context, mounting height, lighting and privacy considerations.
PoE camera cabling
Dedicated network runs from camera locations to an organized PoE switching and recording core.

What makes footage usable.
A high-resolution camera mounted too far from the door still will not show a face. Distance, mounting height, lighting and how long you keep recordings matter as much as the camera itself, so we set those with you.
Field of view
Wide scenes provide context; narrower views can provide more detail. Priority areas may need different views.
Lighting
Backlight, reflections and low-light conditions are considered when selecting and aiming cameras.
Storage
Camera count, resolution, frame rate, scene activity and retention expectations affect recorder capacity.
Privacy
Views and user access should be planned around the property, site policies and applicable privacy obligations. Obtain legal guidance when needed.
Common questions.
How many security cameras does my property need?
Camera count depends on entrances, circulation paths, priority assets, exterior approaches, sight lines and the level of detail needed. A site assessment identifies useful views before equipment is selected.
Can I view my cameras remotely?
Many modern IP camera and recorder systems support authorized remote viewing. The exact experience depends on the selected platform, internet connection, network configuration and account setup.
Do IP cameras need separate power cables?
Many IP cameras use Power over Ethernet, which carries data and power over one suitable network cable from a compatible PoE switch or injector. Power budgets and distances must be planned.
Can existing camera cabling or equipment be reused?
Sometimes. Existing cable, cameras, recorders and network equipment should be assessed for condition, compatibility, performance and support before reuse is included in the project plan.
