CCTV security camera installation for Scugog businesses

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

Security camera types we install in Scugog

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.

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.

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.

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 Scugog 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.

  • 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

  • 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
  • IP67 housings rated for minus 30 to plus 60
  • Local NVR recording plus optional cloud backup
  • Remote viewing on phone, tablet and desktop
  • Two-way audio for gates and loading docks
  • Works with access control, alarm and intercom
  • Isolated VLAN, no cameras exposed to the internet

Before and after: upgrading an old CCTV system

Many Scugog 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.

Before After

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 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: 2.8 mm lens 137 degrees, 4 mm lens 90 degrees, 12 mm lens 30 degrees 2.8 mm lens, 137° Overview. Face ID to ~5 m 4 mm lens, 90° Doors and tills. Face ID to ~9 m 12 mm lens, 30° Gates and lanes. Plate to ~30 m Wider angle = more area, less detail. Narrower angle = less area, more detail. We pick the lens per position.

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 Scugog site we mix both so every camera has a job it can actually do.

Why Scugog 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.

Same-week service

Site visits within days, most commercial installs booked within two weeks, and quick turnaround on repairs.

Clear pricing

A written quote with each camera, cable run and recorder listed, and no monthly fees unless you choose cloud storage.

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.

How we will help you install security cameras in Scugog

The installation of video surveillance goes wrong when steps get skipped. These are the nine we follow on every Scugog 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 Scugog: questions we get asked

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

Can you install cameras at a Lake Scugog cottage I only visit in summer?

Yes. We set up local recording plus remote viewing and alerts so you can see the dock, the driveway and the door from the city all winter, and we can add Starlink where there is no internet.

Do you serve Scugog Island and the east side of the lake?

Yes. The whole township including Scugog Island, Caesarea and Nestleton is within our regular service area.

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.

Do you offer maintenance and monitoring?

We offer maintenance plans with firmware updates, health checks and lens cleaning, and we can add professionally monitored alarm and video verification through Ajax Systems.

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.
