We walk the property before choosing camera locations. The goal is footage that shows faces, license plates, and the details police ask for at entrances, registers, loading docks, and parking areas.
We install Avycon commercial cameras rated for year-round outdoor use, including Minnesota winters, and set up remote viewing on your phone.
Most camera systems only record, so you find out what happened the next morning. For properties where that’s too late, we offer Proactive Visual Monitoring through CHeKT.
When the system detects activity after hours, operators at our central station watch your cameras live, speak to people on the property through installed speakers, and call police with verified video if needed.
When cameras are part of a monitored business alarm, an alarm event comes with footage. If you also have access control, its records show whose credential opened the door at that moment.
Your business reports to a UL Listed, TMA Five Diamond certified central station staffed around the clock, with redundant centers in Florida, New Jersey, and California. When a sensor triggers, a trained operator reviews the alert, works through your account’s call list, and dispatches police or fire when the event is confirmed or no one can be reached.
We hold a BBB A+ rating, a 4.7 out of 5 rating on Angi, and Minnesota license TS000435. Every commercial plan is custom designed after a no-cost, no-obligation on-site evaluation, using Resideo and Honeywell Home equipment, so you’re never locked into a proprietary system.
Light commercial burglar alarm installation starts at $299, and most commercial accounts run on a five-year agreement. Access control and video are quoted per property after a no-cost, no-obligation on-site evaluation, so you only pay for what your building actually needs.
