Security Camera Installation in Burlington

Commercial & Industrial Installations Across GTA and Muskoka; Same Week Visit

Burlington's business parks along Mainway, Harvester Road and the North Service Road, and the industrial pockets in Aldershot and along the QEW, are a steady part of our work. We install security camera systems for those sites and for the retail, restaurants, clinics, marinas and homes that make up the rest of the city.

Security camera types we install in Burlington

Surveillance camera installation is not one camera repeated twelve times. We match the type to the position: turret at the doors, fisheye over the floor, bullet on the fence, plate camera at the gate. Here is what we install and where it fits.

Fisheye and 360 cameras

One ceiling camera that sees a whole open floor with no blind spot. We use them in packing areas, showrooms and restaurants where wall space is scarce.

Multi-sensor cameras

Two to four lenses in one housing that cover 180 or 270 degrees in full resolution. We installed the first multi-lens Uniview camera in Canada and use them on building corners.

Licence plate cameras

Purpose-built cameras that capture plates at entrances, gates and drive-throughs day and night, with the plate number searchable in the recorder.

Thermal cameras

Cameras that see heat instead of light for perimeter detection in total darkness, fog or snow, and for early fire detection in recycling and storage yards.

Wireless cameras

Wi-Fi and point-to-point radio cameras for outbuildings, gates and sites where trenching a cable makes no sense. We size the radio link so the video never stutters.

Battery-powered cameras

Cameras that run for months on a charge for temporary needs, remote sheds and spots with no power at all. They record on motion and send alerts to your phone.

Solar-powered cameras

A camera, battery and solar panel on one pole for construction sites, farms, marinas and lots with no hydro. We add LTE so the footage reaches you anywhere.

Light socket cameras

360-degree cameras that screw into a standard light socket for porches, hallways and stairwells where drilling and cabling is not an option.

CCTV security camera installation for Burlington businesses

Our CCTV installation service is built around commercial and industrial sites. These are the property types we secure most often in Burlington. Each one has its own page with camera positions, equipment and pricing.

How we plan camera coverage

Good security camera installation is mostly planning. These are the three things we work out on every site visit before a single hole is drilled.

Mounting height guide: 2.5 to 3 metres for face capture, 4 to 5 metres for overview, 6 metres and up for yards and roofs 1.7 m 2.5 to 3 mDoors, tills, corridors: clear faces, out of easy reach 4 to 5 mSales floors, warehouses, garages: overview and tracking 6 m and upYards, lots and roofs: long range with a narrow lens or PTZ

Mounting height and what it gives you

Height is a trade-off between reach and detail. Around three metres gives clear faces and keeps the camera out of easy reach. Four to five metres gives an overview of a floor or a garage. Six metres and up covers a yard, but only with a narrow lens or a PTZ.

CCTV brands we install and the features you get

We install brands we can support for years, not whatever is cheapest this month. These are the lines we put on Burlington sites and why.

Most installed

Uniview (UNV)

Our most installed camera line. ColorHunter cameras give full colour at night, LightHunter sensors handle mixed lighting, and the NVRs scale from four to hundreds of channels. Our biggest project runs 200 Uniview cameras on a 200 TB recorder.

Ubiquiti UniFi Protect

Cameras, recorder, network and Wi-Fi from one console with no licence fees. A strong fit for offices, clinics and multi-site businesses that want everything in one app.

Axis Communications

Premium Swedish cameras for demanding sites: sharp optics, long service life, open platform analytics and excellent cybersecurity practices.

Verkada

Cloud-managed cameras with built-in storage and simple sharing across many locations. Ideal for organisations that do not want on-site servers.

Cisco

Cloud-managed Meraki cameras, switches and Wi-Fi run from one dashboard, a fit for organisations already on Meraki networks.

Dahua

Full-colour and thermal cameras at a sharp price point, a good fit for yards, farms and plazas where the budget matters.

Ajax Systems

Wireless alarm, motion and video verification that pairs with the cameras for monitored sites and after-hours protection.

Features that come standard on our installations

  • 4K and 8 MP detail for faces and licence plates
  • Full colour night vision with Smart IR to 30 m
  • Smart person and vehicle detection alerts
  • 137 degree wide and 360 degree fisheye views

Before and after: upgrading an old CCTV system

Many Burlington businesses already have cameras that no longer show enough to be useful. If the cable is sound we reuse it, swap the cameras and recorder, and the difference looks like this.

How we will help you install security cameras in Burlington

The installation of video surveillance goes wrong when steps get skipped. These are the nine we follow on every Burlington job. Keep scrolling and each step comes into focus.

Step 1 of 9

Security planning

  1. 1

    Security planning

    We walk the property with you, note every entry, blind corner, cash point and asset, and agree on what each camera must show: a face, a plate, an overview or a process.

  2. 2

    Equipment selection

    We pick cameras for each position rather than one model everywhere: turret at the doors, fisheye over the floor, bullet on the fence, plate camera at the gate, all sized to your network and recorder.

  3. 3

    Positioning and placement

    We mark heights, angles and lens choices on a plan so each camera covers its zone without glare, backlight or overlap you pay for twice.

  4. 4

    Installation

    Our own technicians mount the cameras, run and label the cable, seal every exterior penetration and leave the site clean. No subcontractors.

  5. 5

    Network connectivity

    Cameras go on their own VLAN with PoE switches sized for the load, and outbuildings get a wireless bridge that we test for throughput before we leave.

  6. 6

    Configuration

    Motion zones, person and vehicle detection, schedules, alerts and user accounts are set for your business, not left on factory defaults.

  7. 7

    Recording and storage

    We calculate retention from camera count, resolution and frame rate, then fit the NVR drives to it, with cloud or off-site copies for the cameras that matter most.

  8. 8

    Testing and fine-tuning

    We check every view by day and by night, adjust angles and exposure, and hand you a camera map that shows what each one covers.

  9. 9

    Ongoing support

    Firmware updates, health checks, lens cleaning and fast help when you need to pull footage. Our 3-year warranty covers the installation, and maintenance plans cover the rest.

Security cameras installation in Burlington: questions we get asked

Straight answers on cost, timing, legality and equipment. If yours is not here, call us and ask.

Do you install cameras at Burlington marinas and waterfront properties?

Yes. We use long-range and low-light cameras for docks and boat storage, wireless bridges to reach outbuildings, and housings rated for spray and winter.

What does a business park camera system cost in Burlington?

A single unit with eight to sixteen cameras and access control integration typically costs $4,000 to $10,000 installed. Larger buildings are quoted after a site visit.

Wired or wireless cameras for a business?

Wired PoE cameras are more reliable and record continuously, so we use them wherever we can run a cable. Wireless bridges and LTE cameras are for outbuildings, gates, construction sites and other places where a cable is impractical.

How many cameras does my business need?

A small store or office needs four to eight cameras to cover doors, tills and the lot. A plaza, clinic or mid-size warehouse usually needs 16 to 32. We count positions on the site visit and show you the coverage on a plan before you decide.

How long is footage kept?

We size recorders for at least 30 days and usually 60 to 90 days for commercial sites. With smart detection and larger drives, retention of six months or more is practical.

Can I view the cameras from my phone?

Yes. Every system we install includes secure remote viewing and playback on iOS, Android and desktop, with separate logins for owners, managers and staff.

Can you upgrade my old analog CCTV system?

Usually yes. If the coax cable is sound we replace the cameras and DVR with UltraHD equipment on the same wires, which costs a fraction of a new installation.
