Business Security Camera Systems

Pocono Networks® helps small businesses and home offices plan and install security camera systems. We’ll discuss the areas you want to monitor, recommend camera locations and equipment, install the cameras and required network cabling, and set up video recording and viewing as agreed for your project. We’ll explain the system in straightforward terms so you know how to view and find recorded footage. 

Plan Camera Locations

We’ll review your building and discuss the areas you want to see, such as entrances, work areas, stockrooms, or other important locations. Camera placement depends on the building layout, lighting, viewing distance, and the level of detail you need. We’ll explain the proposed views and any areas that may remain outside the cameras’ coverage before installation.

Camera Installation and Setup

We install indoor or outdoor cameras suited to the planned locations and connect them to the recording system. Depending on the project, installation may include:

• Running and labeling network cabling
• Mounting cameras
• Setting up the recorder
• Configuring basic viewing and recording settings.

After installation, we check that the cameras are connected and that recording and playback work as agreed. We’ll show you how to access the system using the agreed viewing method.

Choose a System That Fits Your Needs

The right camera and recorder depend on where you want coverage, how much detail you need, and how long you want recordings retained. Options may include dome, bullet, or turret-style cameras and a network video recorder (NVR) with storage sized for the project. We’ll explain the trade-offs in everyday terms and confirm the proposed equipment and recording setup in your estimate.

Recording and Storage

Recorded video uses storage space. The amount available depends on factors such as the number of cameras, video quality, recording schedule, and recorder storage. We’ll discuss your desired retention period and recommend an appropriate setup based on those requirements. The actual retention time can vary with system settings and usage.

What This Service Covers

This service covers security camera equipment, its installation, and the related recording and viewing setup included in your project. Ongoing system inspections, firmware updates, and maintenance are not included unless specifically listed in a separate agreement.

FAQ

Can you help decide where cameras should go?
Yes. We’ll discuss the areas you want to monitor and recommend camera locations based on the building, lighting, and the view needed.

How long can the system keep recordings?
That depends on the number of cameras, recording settings, video quality, and available storage. We’ll discuss your desired retention period and recommend a suitable recorder configuration.

Can I view the cameras remotely?
Remote viewing may be available depending on the equipment, network, and project setup. We’ll confirm whether it’s included and explain the access method before installation.
