Security camera types we install in Kitchener
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.
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.
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.
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.
Camera viewing angles
The lens decides what a camera can prove. A 2.8 mm lens sees 137 degrees but only identifies a face within about five metres. A 12 mm lens sees a narrow lane and reads a plate at thirty. On a Kitchener site we mix both so every camera has a job it can actually do.
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 Kitchener 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 Kitchener 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 Kitchener
The installation of video surveillance goes wrong when steps get skipped. These are the nine we follow on every Kitchener 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 Kitchener: questions we get asked
Straight answers on cost, timing, legality and equipment. If yours is not here, call us and ask.
Do you serve Waterloo and Cambridge as well as Kitchener?
Yes. Waterloo, Cambridge, Breslau, Elmira, St. Jacobs and New Hamburg are all covered by the same crews.
What does a manufacturing plant camera system cost in Kitchener?
A 16 to 32 camera system with gate plate capture and 90 days of storage typically costs $9,000 to $20,000 installed.
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.
Is it legal to record audio with security cameras?
Video in public-facing and work areas is allowed with signage and a legitimate purpose. Audio is more restricted, so we normally leave microphones off in staff areas and only enable audio where you have a clear reason and notice is given.
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.
