-
No, and that's intentional. Your footage is stored locally on an NVR at your property. You can view it from anywhere using an app at no ongoing cost. There is no cloud subscription, no monthly bill, and no features locked behind a plan.
-
Costs vary depending on the scope of your project. A simple home camera setup is different from a full property buildout with structured cabling, access control, and security cameras. We provide free, custom estimates based on a property assessment. Contact us or book a consultation to get a personalized estimate. Transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
-
Yes. The camera app gives you live view, playback, and smart detection alerts from anywhere with an internet connection. You can share access with family members or employees too, all without a subscription.
-
Most residential and small commercial installs are completed in a single day. Larger properties with multiple buildings, long cable runs, or combined camera and access control systems may take a couple days. We'll give you a realistic timeline in the estimate before any work begins.
-
Absolutely. We size your switch and NVR with room to grow, so adding cameras, access control, or sensors later is typically straightforward. We can come back and expand the system whenever you're ready.
-
Yes, using point-to-point wireless bridges we can connect outbuildings, machine sheds, grain bins, and remote structures back to your main network without trenching. We assess line-of-sight and distance during the site walkthrough and recommend the right hardware for your setup.
-
We're based in Northwest Iowa and serve properties throughout Palo Alto, Kossuth, and Humboldt counties, including Algona, Emmetsburg, Ruthven, West Bend, and surrounding communities. If you're outside our normal range, contact us to see if our solutions can help solve your needs.
-
We install commercial-grade equipment used by hospitals, schools, and enterprise networks, the same platforms that work just as well for a home or small business. We're certified on the systems we install and won't put equipment on your property we don't know inside and out.
