Why Hamilton businesses choose us as their security camera installation company
Plenty of companies sell cameras. Fewer plan them properly, install them cleanly and answer the phone three years later. This is what you get with us.
Licensed and insured
Licensed, insured technicians who follow Ontario privacy law and the Electrical Safety Code on every job.
24/7 remote support
Remote diagnostics and after-hours help when a camera goes dark or you need footage for police or insurance.
Designed per site
Every layout is drawn for the building in front of us, with the camera types that fit each position.
14 years of installs
We have installed cameras since 2010, from single-door shops to a 270,000 square foot warehouse with 200 cameras.
Security camera types we install in Hamilton
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.
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.
DVR and analog upgrades
If you already have coax cable, we can upgrade an old analog DVR system to UltraHD cameras on the same wires, which saves most of the labour of a new install.
Discreet cameras
Small pinhole and covert cameras for cash rooms, stockrooms and offices where a visible camera would change behaviour or spoil the look of the space.
Turret cameras
Our default outdoor camera for storefronts, loading docks and yards. The ball-in-socket design aims easily, the IR sits away from the lens so there is no glare, and the housing shrugs off snow.
Dome cameras
Vandal-resistant domes for lobbies, corridors, parking garages and retail floors. Nobody can tell where the lens points, and the housing takes a hit without losing the picture.
Bullet cameras
Long-range cameras for fence lines, laneways, gates and large parking lots. Varifocal lenses let us read a plate or a face from 30 metres and beyond.
PTZ cameras
Pan, tilt and zoom cameras that follow movement across a warehouse floor or a truck yard. One PTZ with auto-tracking can replace several fixed cameras on a large site.
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 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 Hamilton sites and why.
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.
- 200cameras on one Uniview system, our largest install
- 1stmulti-lens Uniview camera installed in Canada, by us
- 3 yrinstallation warranty on every Uniview system
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

Before and after: upgrading an old CCTV system
Many Hamilton 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.
Left: the old analog camera, soft and noisy. Right: an UltraHD camera in the same position on the same cable, with faces and plates readable. Drag the handle.
How we will help you install security cameras in Hamilton
The installation of video surveillance goes wrong when steps get skipped. These are the nine we follow on every Hamilton job. Keep scrolling and each step comes into focus.
Step 1 of 9
Security planning
- 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
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
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
Installation
Our own technicians mount the cameras, run and label the cable, seal every exterior penetration and leave the site clean. No subcontractors.
- 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
Configuration
Motion zones, person and vehicle detection, schedules, alerts and user accounts are set for your business, not left on factory defaults.
- 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
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
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 Hamilton: questions we get asked
Straight answers on cost, timing, legality and equipment. If yours is not here, call us and ask.
Can your cameras handle the conditions at a Hamilton steel or manufacturing plant?
Yes. We specify housings rated for dust, heat, vibration and washdown, mount cameras out of reach of cranes and forklifts, and use fibre or wireless links where copper cannot run.
What does a plaza camera system cost in Hamilton?
A plaza with eight to sixteen cameras covering entrances, corridors and parking typically costs $4,500 to $9,500 installed.
What warranty comes with the installation?
Our installation work carries a three-year warranty. Cameras and recorders carry the manufacturer warranty, which is typically three to five years for the brands we install.
Will the cameras work if the internet goes down?
Yes. Recording happens on the NVR inside your building, so footage is captured with or without internet. You only lose remote viewing until the connection is back.
How much does commercial security camera installation cost?
Most small business systems with four to eight IP cameras and a recorder land between $2,000 and $4,500 installed. Warehouses, plazas and offices with 16 to 32 cameras usually run $8,000 to $18,000, and large industrial sites start around $20,000. The price depends on camera count, cable distances, mounting heights and how much footage you need to keep. We give a fixed written quote after a free site visit.
How long does the installation take?
A four to eight camera system is normally installed and configured in one day. Sixteen to thirty-two cameras take two to four days, and large warehouses are scheduled in phases so your operation keeps running.
Do I need a permit to install security cameras on a commercial property?
Cameras themselves do not need a building permit in Ontario. Low-voltage work must follow the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and if a new 120 V circuit is needed for a recorder or a pole, that part is done by a licensed electrician. Businesses must also follow PIPEDA and post signage where cameras record the public.
