Security Cameras and Video Monitoring in Minnesota

Nighthawk Security installs video doorbells and home cameras across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities. They show up in the same app as your alarm, so you can see who’s at the door, check on the house while you’re away, and get video when an alarm goes off.

Video in the Same App as Your Alarm

Cameras and video doorbells connect to Total Connect 2.0, the app you already use to arm and disarm. You can watch live, review clips, and get an alert with video when someone comes to the door or an alarm trips.

Placing Cameras for Minnesota Homes

  • Front door: a video doorbell for deliveries, visitors, and package theft
  • Detached garages and alleys, which are common in Minneapolis and St. Paul and easy targets for break-ins
  • Back doors and walkouts that can’t be seen from the street
  • Driveways and lake-side yards, where a larger lot needs a wider view

We mount outdoor cameras clear of snow and ice, and angle them so glare off the snow doesn’t wash out the picture.

Add Live Video Monitoring

Recorded video shows you what happened after the fact. With Proactive Visual Monitoring through CHeKT, an operator watches your cameras live when activity is detected, can speak to the person through a speaker, and calls police with verified video.

It works well for homes that sit empty for weeks, including cabins and lake homes.

Backed by a UL Listed Central Station

Every Nighthawk system reports to a UL Listed, TMA Five Diamond certified central station staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Redundant centers in Florida, New Jersey, and California back each other up, so a storm or outage in one region doesn’t leave your home unmonitored.

Yes. Cameras and video doorbells appear in the Total Connect 2.0 app alongside your alarm.

We install outdoor-rated cameras and mount them to stay clear of snow, ice, and glare.

Cameras work best as part of a monitored system, so an alarm comes with video. We’ll recommend the right mix during your consultation.
