Security Camera and Video Surveillance Installation in Edmonton
The moment a camera system matters is the moment something has already happened, and that is when most of them turn out to be useless. The footage is there but too low-resolution to identify anyone. The camera pointing at the door was aimed at the sky. The recorder filled up and started overwriting three weeks ago. Nobody knows the password.
None of those are camera problems. They are installation and configuration problems, decided long before the incident. A system that works is one where the cameras are positioned for identification rather than for coverage, the recorder retains footage for as long as you actually need it, and someone can retrieve a specific clip without a support call.
We install IP camera and CCTV systems for homes, businesses, warehouses and rural properties across the Edmonton region. Because we are a network company first, the part most installers get wrong — putting cameras on their own segment, cabled properly, with the recorder protected — is the part we start with.
Who This Service Is For
The situations where this work is usually the right answer.
Businesses with premises to protect
Shops, offices, warehouses and yards where theft, damage or a disputed incident has a real cost, and where footage needs to stand up afterwards.
Rural and acreage properties
Farms, acreages and remote properties where response times are long, buildings are spread out, and there is often nobody around to notice.
Sites with a system that does not work
Cameras already installed but recording nothing usable, offline half the time, or impossible to get footage out of.
Homeowners wanting it done properly
Residences where a stack of consumer cameras across three apps has become unmanageable, or where cloud subscriptions have quietly added up.
What the Installation Includes
Everything below is part of a standard engagement, not a list of chargeable extras.
- Site walk to establish what you actually need to see, and at what detail
- Camera positioning for identification, not just coverage — a face at a door beats a wide shot
- Resolution and lens selection matched to the distance each camera must cover
- Structured cabling to every camera, terminated and tested
- Power over Ethernet so cameras need no local outlet
- Recorder or NVR sizing based on the retention period you actually want
- Cameras placed on their own isolated VLAN, not on the office or home network
- Firewall policy so cameras cannot reach anything they do not need
- Secure remote viewing without exposing the recorder to the open internet
- Night performance verified after dark, not assumed from a datasheet
- Recorder in a location that is not the first thing an intruder finds
- Labelled cabling, documentation and a walkthrough of how to retrieve footage
Our Process
How a project runs from first contact to handover.
What you need to see
We walk the site and establish the specific things that matter — the till, the door, the yard gate, the equipment — because that determines camera count and placement far more than square footage does.
Design and quote
Camera positions, resolutions, cable routes, recorder sizing and retention period are documented and quoted before anything is bought.
Cabling and mounting
Cable is run and terminated to each position, cameras mounted and aimed, and outdoor cameras sealed and rated for Alberta temperatures.
Recording and network setup
Recorder configured, cameras segmented onto their own VLAN, retention set, and remote access configured without exposing the recorder publicly.
Verification and handover
Every camera checked in daylight and after dark, a test clip exported with you so you know the process, then documentation and credentials handed over.
Equipment We Support
- IP cameras
- Network cameras powered and carried over a single Ethernet run. Resolution and lens chosen per position — a camera covering a wide yard and one identifying faces at a doorway are different specifications.
- Network video recorders
- On-site recording sized for your retention period, so footage is still there when an incident surfaces weeks later rather than having been overwritten.
- Outdoor and vandal-resistant housings
- Sealed, temperature-rated cameras for exterior mounting through Alberta winters, with vandal-resistant housings where a camera is reachable.
- Low-light and infrared cameras
- Cameras selected for the light the location actually has at 2am, since most incidents happen when it is dark and most disappointing footage is night footage.
- Access control and intercom
- Door controllers, readers and intercom integrated with the camera system where you need to know who opened a door as well as see it.
