Site survey
The plan comes first.
You don't have to know what you need. That's our job.
Before anything is bought or mounted, we walk the property and draw the plan: what each camera will see, where the Wi-Fi will reach, and where every cable will run. The survey is free.
Coverage plan
On site
What we look at
The visit takes one to two hours. We measure, check the signal and look at every place a device or a cable could go.
- Every entrance, the driveway and the street approach
- Side yards, gates and the back of the lot
- Where the internet comes into the house
- Where the Wi-Fi drops, room by room
- How cable can reach each point, and where the rack should go
Within one day
What you get from the survey
A coverage map
A detailed map of what each camera sees, with the distance where you can recognize a person and where you can identify a face.
A device list
How many cameras, access points and sensors, and exactly where each one goes.
The reasoning
Why this equipment and not something else, in plain English. What you need, and what you can skip.
An estimate
For the whole system, so you can decide with everything in front of you.
Why not just pick from a catalog
More cameras is not better coverage. Five in the right places beat ten in the wrong ones. A catalog can't see your driveway; we can.
How it works
Three steps to a plan
1. Send photos or call
We reply the same day. For a small job, photos are often enough for an estimate.
2. We visit
One to two hours on site: we walk the property and take measurements.
3. You get the plan
Coverage map, device list, reasoning and an estimate, within one day.
Questions
Is the site survey free?
Yes. The visit, the coverage map and the recommendation cost you nothing.
How long does the site survey take?
One to two hours on site, depending on the size of the property.
When do I get the plan?
Within one day of the visit: a coverage map, a device list, the reasoning behind each choice, and an estimate.
Can you give an estimate from photos?
For small jobs, yes. Send a few photos of the spot and what you want done, and we’ll reply the same day. Larger systems need a visit.
