Security Cameras & Access Control Systems

The number of cameras depends on your floor plan, the areas you need to cover, and your specific security concerns. A typical 2,000 sq ft retail or office space requires 4-8 cameras. We perform a site walkthrough and provide a camera placement recommendation before any equipment is purchased.

Storage duration depends on the number of cameras, resolution, and recording mode. A typical 8-camera system recording at 4MP resolution stores approximately 30 days of continuous footage on a 4TB NVR. Motion-triggered recording can extend this to 60-90+ days. We size your storage based on your specific retention requirements — some industries (retail, financial) have regulatory requirements for minimum retention periods.

We design and install integrated security systems combining IP cameras, door access control, and alarm monitoring for complete facility security.

Yes. HIPAA requires covered entities to protect physical access to systems containing electronic protected health information (ePHI). Properly placed security cameras covering server rooms, workstation areas, and entry points are a key component of HIPAA physical safeguard compliance. We provide installation documentation suitable for HIPAA compliance records.
