Video Surveillance Technology Options
Choosing the right camera technology depends on your property layout, budget, image quality requirements, and existing infrastructure. Security Dynamics installs all major surveillance technologies and helps you select the optimal solution.
IP Camera Systems (Network Video Recorders - NVR)
IP cameras transmit high-definition video over your network using standard Ethernet cables. These systems record to Network Video Recorders (NVRs) that store footage on large hard drives for later review.
Key Advantages:
- Superior Image Quality: Available in 4K Ultra HD (8MP), 5MP, 4MP, and 1080p Full HD resolutions
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): Single cable provides both power and data, simplifying installation
- Advanced Analytics: AI-powered features like facial recognition, license plate reading, people counting
- Scalability: Easily expand systems by adding cameras to available network switch ports
- Remote Access: Stream live video and playback recordings from anywhere via secure internet connection
Best For: New installations, properties requiring highest image quality, businesses needing advanced analytics, and systems requiring easy expansion.
HD-Over-Coax Systems (Digital Video Recorders - DVR)
HD-over-coax cameras deliver high-definition video quality over traditional coaxial cables, recording to Digital Video Recorders (DVRs). This technology offers an upgrade path for properties with existing analog camera infrastructure.
Key Advantages:
- Cost-Effective Upgrades: Reuse existing coaxial cabling from older analog systems
- Reliable Transmission: Coax cables less susceptible to network issues or interference
- Simplified Troubleshooting: Proven technology with straightforward diagnostic procedures
- HD Quality: Modern HD-over-coax delivers 1080p and even 4K resolution over traditional cabling
Best For: Properties with existing coax infrastructure, budget-conscious projects, and situations where network complexity is a concern.
Wireless & Hybrid Systems
Wireless cameras connect via WiFi or cellular networks, eliminating the need for video cables (though most still require power connections). Hybrid systems combine wired and wireless cameras within the same installation.
Best For: Historic buildings where drilling is restricted, outdoor areas far from power sources, temporary installations, and supplementing wired systems in hard-to-reach locations.
Advanced Video Surveillance Features
Modern surveillance systems offer sophisticated capabilities that go far beyond simple recording. Security Dynamics installs cameras with advanced features that enhance security effectiveness and provide valuable operational insights.
🌙 Night Vision & Low-Light Performance
Infrared (IR) illumination allows cameras to see in complete darkness, with typical ranges from 60 to 150+ feet. Color night vision technology uses ambient light and advanced sensors to capture color images even in near-dark conditions.
🤖 AI-Powered Video Analytics
Artificial intelligence distinguishes between people, vehicles, and animals, dramatically reducing false alerts. Advanced systems offer facial recognition, license plate capture, people counting, heat mapping, and detection of unusual behavior.
📱 Remote Viewing & Mobile Access
View live camera feeds and recorded footage from anywhere using smartphones, tablets, or computers. Mobile apps for iOS and Android provide intuitive controls, push notifications for detected events, and the ability to share video clips.
🔊 Two-Way Audio Communication
Selected cameras include built-in speakers and microphones, allowing you to communicate with people on your property. Useful for greeting delivery drivers, warning off trespassers, or communicating with employees remotely.
🛡️ Weather-Resistant & Vandal-Proof
Outdoor cameras feature IP66 or IP67 waterproof ratings to withstand rain, snow, humidity, and dust. Operating temperature ranges from -40°F to 140°F. Vandal-resistant dome housings with IK10 impact ratings protect against tampering.
🎯 Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Capabilities
PTZ cameras can be remotely controlled to pan horizontally, tilt vertically, and zoom in for detailed views. Preset positions allow operators to quickly move between important areas, while automated patrol patterns scan multiple areas on a schedule.
Our Professional Installation Process
Security Dynamics follows a systematic installation process that ensures your surveillance system meets your security objectives, operates reliably, and provides long-term value.
Free Site Assessment & Consultation
Every project begins with a comprehensive property evaluation. Our security consultant visits your location to walk your property, discuss your objectives, evaluate infrastructure, recommend solutions, and answer questions. This consultation is completely free with no obligation.

Training & System Handoff
We provide hands-on instruction in system operation, viewing live cameras, and searching recorded footage. We install and configure smartphone apps on your devices and demonstrate all features. We don't leave until you're comfortable operating your new system.

Integrated Security Solutions
Video surveillance becomes even more powerful when integrated with other security systems. Security Dynamics specializes in creating unified security platforms where all systems communicate and work together seamlessly.
Access Control Integration
Connect cameras with door access control systems for powerful security enhancements. Automatically display camera footage when someone uses a key card or enters a PIN. Associate card swipes with video of the person entering, creating an audit trail. Trigger camera recording when doors are forced open or accessed outside authorized hours.
Intrusion Detection Integration
Linking surveillance cameras with alarm systems reduces false alarms and improves response. Security operators view live camera feeds when alarms trigger, verifying genuine threats before dispatching emergency services. Many police departments charge fees for excessive false alarms—video verification dramatically reduces these occurrences.
Fire Alarm System Integration
Video surveillance enhances fire safety systems. Operators can visually verify smoke, flames, or evacuation progress. First responders gain situational awareness before arriving on scene. Cameras help ensure all occupants safely evacuate the building.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a video surveillance installation take?
Installation timelines vary based on system size and complexity. For residential installations, most systems with 4-8 cameras can be completed in 1-2 days. Commercial installations with 10-30 cameras typically take 3-5 days, while larger enterprise systems may require 1-2 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation based on your specific needs.
What's the difference between IP cameras and HD-over-coax cameras?
IP (Internet Protocol) cameras transmit video over a network using Ethernet cables and record to an NVR (Network Video Recorder). They offer higher resolutions (up to 4K), advanced analytics, and easier remote access. IP cameras often use PoE (Power over Ethernet), requiring only one cable for both power and data.
HD-over-coax cameras transmit high-definition video over traditional coaxial cable to a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). They're ideal for upgrading existing analog systems without rewiring and are often more cost-effective for smaller installations.
Can I view my security cameras remotely on my smartphone?
Yes! All modern surveillance systems we install include remote viewing capabilities. You can access live video and recorded footage from smartphones (iOS and Android), tablets, computers via web browsers, and selected smart TVs. Remote viewing features include live camera feeds, recorded video playback, motion detection alerts, digital zoom and pan controls, and multi-camera viewing.
Do you install outdoor security cameras?
Absolutely! We specialize in both indoor and outdoor video surveillance installations. Our outdoor cameras feature IP66/IP67 waterproof ratings, operating temperature ranges from -40°F to 140°F, IK10 vandal-resistant housings, IR night vision up to 150+ feet, and professional weatherproofing. Common outdoor applications include building perimeters, parking lots, loading docks, driveways, and pool areas.
How much does professional video surveillance installation cost?
Video surveillance installation costs vary significantly based on system size and complexity. General ranges include:
- 4-camera residential systems: $1,500-$3,500
- 8-16 camera commercial systems: $4,000-$12,000
- 16+ camera enterprise systems: $12,000-$50,000+
