Deciding to install security cameras is one of the best investments you can make to protect your home or business. Just the sight of cameras monitoring an area acts as a strong deterrent to criminals. And if an incident does occur, footage can provide critical evidence to identify perpetrators and aid police investigations. Although security cameras provide indispensable peace of mind, simply purchasing equipment doesn’t guarantee effective protection on its own.
The physical installation itself is just as crucial in making sure your system performs as intended. How and where cameras are positioned makes all the difference in capturing useful, high-quality footage and avoiding blind spots. Although DIY installation may seem like an easy way to save money, it often results in cameras located inefficiently and wired improperly. You want the job done right the first time by trained professionals. At Arrow Security Systems, our experienced Long Island installation teams have been expertly mounting cameras and configuring systems for over 35 years. Now, let’s explore the key benefits of trusting professionals to install your cameras versus trying to go the DIY route.
We begin every security camera installation with a thorough site assessment and consultation. Our technicians will walk the perimeter of your property and evaluate all entry/exit points, vulnerabilities, high-value areas, and existing security measures. We use this information to design a customized camera setup tailored to your building’s unique layout and needs. Where cameras are placed strategically makes all the difference in capturing useful footage and preventing blind spots. Our priority is positioning cameras where they are most effective for monitoring based on your property’s specifications.
Our Long Island installation technicians are highly trained to properly place cameras and cabling. We take care climbing ladders to optimally mount cameras on buildings, homes, posts and other surfaces at effective vantage points. Cabling and wiring are neatly run, taking the shortest paths back to the recording equipment to maintain signal strength. If you are integrating your new security system with existing equipment, we’ll ensure everything communicates and networks together seamlessly after installation.
We stay on top of the latest security camera technology and leverage it for your installation. Our inventory includes sophisticated 4K/5K ultra HD resolution cameras, infrared and night vision cameras, wireless IP cameras with the newest features, reliable NVR recording systems and more cutting-edge equipment. We’ll incorporate a blend of camera types and resolutions based on your budget and needs. Advanced tools like lift equipment are used to safely and securely install tall or hard-to-reach cameras.
Although extremely thorough, we take precautions during installation to minimize disruption to daily operations and avoid property damage. Clean cable runs are threaded through existing infrastructure discreetly whenever possible. We avoid drilling new holes or mounting equipment in ways that leaves behind permanent damage or markings unless absolutely necessary. When drilling is required, we patch and paint to disguise any signs when finished. Keeping the process clean and low profile is our priority.
Once the physical installation is complete, we activate and test the system to validate it is capturing footage properly and networking as intended. Motion sensors are calibrated to send alerts only when needed. Camera views are framed optimally and adjusted to account for lighting conditions throughout the day. Everything undergoes extensive real-world testing before we leave the site. You can have confidence in your cameras' positioning and performance from day one.
In the field of security, there are no shortcuts when it comes to properly installing and activating camera equipment. Attempting DIY security installation often ends up costing more in the end between equipment failures, repairs and subpar protection. Our Long Island teams make the process seamless from start to finish, so your system works flawlessly from day one.
