Security Camera Systems — Installed & Configured
A security camera system is only as good as its installation. Poorly placed cameras have blind spots; improperly configured systems fail to record when they matter most. ASK Locksmith designs, installs, and configures camera systems that actually work — with remote viewing set up before we leave.
HD IP Camera Systems
IP cameras deliver high-definition footage over your existing network — no separate coax wiring needed in most cases. We install systems from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Avigilon with resolutions from 1080p to 4K. IP systems support remote live viewing and playback from any smartphone or computer and integrate with access control systems for unified security management.
CCTV & DVR Systems
Traditional CCTV systems with digital video recorders remain reliable, cost-effective options for locations that don't need network integration. We install and service analog HD (HDCVI, HDTVI) systems that deliver excellent image quality at lower cost than full IP deployments, with storage on-site via DVR.
Residential Camera Installation
For NYC apartments and homes, we typically install 2–4 cameras covering the entry door, common areas, and any exterior access points. We run cabling neatly, mount cameras at the right height and angle for maximum coverage, and set up remote access on your phone before we leave.
Commercial & Multi-Unit Building Systems
For businesses and multi-unit buildings, we design systems that cover all entry and exit points, lobby and elevator areas, parking, and sensitive zones like server rooms or cash handling areas. We work with property managers to document camera placements and access rights for building staff.
How It Works
Site Survey & Design
We walk your property, identify coverage gaps, and design a camera placement plan. We recommend the right system for your layout, budget, and storage requirements — and explain the trade-offs clearly.
Installation & Configuration
Your technician installs cameras, runs cabling, mounts the recorder, and configures motion detection zones, recording schedules, and alerts. We test every camera's field of view before sign-off.
Remote Access Setup
We install the viewing app on your phone, verify remote access is working, and show you how to review footage and manage recordings. You're fully operational before we leave.
Security Camera FAQ
-
It depends on your property layout and what you want covered. A typical NYC apartment needs 1–2 cameras; a small business typically needs 4–8. We do a site survey and recommend the minimum number needed for complete coverage — we don't upsell cameras you don't need.
-
Storage duration depends on the number of cameras, resolution, and recorder capacity. Most residential systems store 7–30 days of footage on a local DVR/NVR. We size the storage based on your requirements and can add cloud backup for critical areas.
-
All the cameras we install include infrared night vision that captures clear footage in complete darkness, typically up to 30–100 feet depending on the model. For color night vision, we recommend cameras with built-in spotlights or near well-lit areas.
-
Often yes — if your recorder has available channels and the camera type is compatible. Bring us the make and model of your existing system and we'll tell you what will work with it. If the recorder is at capacity or outdated, we can recommend a cost-effective upgrade path.
