Question 1

How many security cameras do I need for my home?

Accepted Answer

Most homes are well covered with 4 to 8 cameras strategically placed at the front door, driveway, back yard, side yards, and garage. Proper placement is more important than quantity. We design camera layouts to capture faces, not just motion, and eliminate blind spots.

Question 2

Do I need to pay monthly fees for cloud storage?

Accepted Answer

No. We install systems with local NVR (network video recorder) storage, so your footage is stored on-site with no monthly subscription. You can still access live and recorded video remotely through the app. Cloud backup is optional, not required.

Question 3

Can security cameras integrate with my smart home?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. When integrated with Control4 or a similar platform, your cameras can show feeds on any TV in the house, trigger recording when motion sensors activate, send smart alerts to your phone, and work as part of automated scenes like arming the system when you leave.

Question 4

What is the difference between residential and commercial security cameras?

Accepted Answer

Commercial cameras typically have higher resolution (4K to 8K), wider dynamic range for challenging lighting, and more robust housings for extreme environments. Residential cameras balance image quality with cost-effectiveness. For most homes, 4K residential cameras with smart analytics (person/vehicle detection) provide excellent security without commercial-grade expense.

Question 5

What is AI detection and how does it reduce false alerts?

Accepted Answer

Modern cameras use AI to distinguish between people, vehicles, animals, and other motion. This eliminates false alerts from trees swaying or headlights passing by. You only get notified when an actual person enters your property or a vehicle approaches your driveway. This makes security monitoring practical and actionable instead of overwhelming.

Question 6

Are security cameras NDAA compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install cameras that comply with the National Defense Authorization Act, which prohibits government-banned manufacturers. This is important for government contractors, businesses with federal clients, and security-conscious homeowners. We specify manufacturers like Hikvision alternatives and other vetted brands that meet NDAA requirements.
