Why Atlanta businesses call us about security cameras

  • The camera was down when you needed it

    Something happens, you pull the footage, and the camera that covers that door has been offline for weeks. Nobody noticed, because nobody checks a camera until the day they need it.

  • A view nobody can use

    A lens fogs over, a sign goes up in front of it, someone turns it toward the wall, or the night image is a gray smear. The camera is up, and the footage is still useless.

  • Hours of video, no answers

    Finding one event means scrubbing through a day of footage on a recorder in a closet. A system you can search by time, place, and door event turns that into minutes.

  • Recordings that do not go back far enough

    The recorder fills up and overwrites itself before anyone asks for the clip. Retention should match what your business, insurer, or lease actually requires.

  • Cameras that open a hole in your network

    Every camera and recorder is a computer on your network. Default passwords and old firmware make them an easy way in, and a camera installer rarely owns that problem.

  • Three vendors, no owner

    The camera company, the door company, and the IT company each own a piece. When a camera goes dark, they point at each other and you make the calls.

Business video surveillance systems we install and run

One Atlanta security camera installer for the cameras, the doors, and the network they run on, from the first site walk through every year after.

  1. Cloud or on-premises video

    Cloud video you view and manage from a browser or phone, or on-premises recorders that keep footage in your building. Some sites use both. We install either, so the recommendation follows your site and your network, not a product list.

  2. Cameras placed for the footage you need

    Entrances, parking, loading docks, lobbies, and the spots where an incident actually happens. We plan coverage, field of view, and low-light performance from a site walk, so each camera earns its place.

  3. Search and analytics

    Camera systems you can actually search. Depending on the platform, that includes video analytics such as appearance search and unusual-motion detection, so you find the clip instead of watching the whole day.

  4. Tied to your doors

    Cameras and access control on one network, so a door event pulls up the video of that door. Integration with alarms and building systems is part of the same design.

  5. The network under it

    Cameras and recorders go on a secured, segmented network with the bandwidth to carry the video, and we keep their firmware patched. The same team runs your network, so the cameras are not an afterthought on it.

  6. 24/7 uptime and view-health monitoring

    Under a managed-security contract, we monitor every camera 24/7: whether it is up, and whether its view has gone blurred, blacked out, or blocked. Any issue opens a ticket, and we dispatch on it. This is not live video monitoring. Nobody sits and watches your feeds.

Who we install security cameras for

Offices
Entrances, lobbies, server rooms, and parking, on the same network your IT already runs on.
Multi-tenant commercial
Shared entrances, garages, and common areas, with coverage that does not depend on any one tenant.
Multifamily and apartments
Lobbies, mail rooms, amenities, and garages, where the footage request usually comes days after the event.
HOAs and gated communities
Gates, pools, and clubhouses for a board with no staff on site, often at the edge of the network where connectivity is weakest.
Senior living
Campuses where a camera that quietly went dark is a safety problem, not just a security one.

For gated communities, plate reading at the gate is Conquest LPR, matched against your resident and guest lists.

How a security camera project works

  1. Assess

    We walk the site and audit what is already there: cameras, recorders, cable, the network, and the cybersecurity behind them. Then we tell you honestly what is worth keeping.

  2. Design

    One plan for camera placement, recording and retention, the network segment under it, and how it ties into your doors.

  3. Install

    Our own technicians pull the cable and mount the cameras. No hand-off to a crew you never meet.

  4. Run it

    The same team monitors camera uptime and view health 24/7, dispatches a ticket on any issue, and maintains the system, with response terms written into the agreement.

What it costs

There is no honest flat price per camera. The number comes from how many cameras and what kind, the cable already in the walls, how long you keep recordings, and cloud versus on-premises. We quote from a site walk and tell you what is driving it.

Security camera questions

What does security camera installation in Atlanta include?
A site walk, a coverage plan, the cameras, the recorder or cloud service, the cable, and the network they run on, then setup of viewing, recording, and retention. Ask any installer whether their own technicians do the install and who you call when a camera goes dark. At Conquest, the answer to both is the same local team.
Do you offer live video monitoring?
No. Nobody sits and watches your feeds. Under managed security, what we monitor 24/7 is the cameras themselves: whether each one is up, and whether its view has gone blurred, blacked out, or blocked. Any issue opens a ticket, and we dispatch on it. Response terms are set per engagement.
Can you take over the camera system we already have?
Usually, yes. We assess what is installed, tell you honestly what is worth keeping, and take over monitoring and maintenance. An upgrade is not always a rip-and-replace. Existing cable and some cameras can often stay while the recorder or software changes.
Should we choose cloud or on-premises video?
Cloud video makes remote viewing and multi-site management easy and adds a subscription. On-premises recorders keep footage in your building and keep recording on the local network. Some sites use both. We install either, so we recommend from your site and your network.
How much does a commercial security camera system cost?
It depends on the number and kind of cameras, the cable already in place, how long you need to keep recordings, and cloud versus on-premises. There is no honest flat price per camera, so we quote from a site walk, and we tell you what is driving the number.
Do you install CCTV in Marietta?
Yes. Our headquarters is in Marietta, and we install and support security cameras across Metro Atlanta, including Atlanta, Marietta, and Smyrna, and beyond for multi-site clients. Areas we serve →
