Frequently asked

FAQs

Can I view the cameras when I am away?

Compatible systems support remote viewing with a working internet connection. We review the access method and account security during setup.

How long are recordings kept?

Retention depends on storage capacity, camera count, resolution, and recording settings. We size the system around an agreed target rather than assuming a fixed number of days.

Will the cameras record if the internet goes out?

Systems with local recording may continue recording while internet access is unavailable, provided the cameras, network, and recorder still have power. Remote viewing may be unavailable during that time.

How many cameras do I need?

That depends on the entrances, driveway, side paths, outdoor living spaces, and blind spots you want covered. We start with useful views rather than a fixed camera count.

Will cameras invade my neighbors' privacy?

Camera placement and framing can focus on your property. We review angles with you and avoid unnecessary views beyond the areas you need to monitor.

Can cameras work at night?

Yes. Camera selection, lens placement, lighting conditions, and infrared or low-light performance all affect night clarity. We plan those details before installation.
