Video Security Questions, Answered
How does video security work?
We install indoor and outdoor cameras that tie into your system, the Alarm.com app, and the central station. You can watch your property live, and operators can pull up your cameras to verify an alarm.
Can I view my cameras from my phone?
Yes. Your cameras connect through the Alarm.com app, so you can watch live footage from anywhere. Homeowners who travel use this to keep an eye on the property while they are away.
Do cameras help verify alarms?
Yes. When an alarm comes in, operators can pull up your cameras to see whether a real incident is happening. If you have alarm response, an officer can also go to the property to check in person.
Can video connect to my other systems?
Yes. Video works with intrusion detection and access control in one system, so camera footage lines up with alarm signals and entry events and you see the full picture.
What cameras do you install?
We install indoor and outdoor cameras suited to homes and businesses across the valley, designing the layout around your property rather than selling one fixed package.
