Is professional CCTV installation better than a DIY CCTV setup for a business?

A DIY setup will most definitely cost you more in the long run. It comes with compliance issues, placement mistakes, and equipment that doesn’t meet your requirements. That translates into security gaps, higher break-in risks, more false alarms, and slower reaction times.

How long does commercial CCTV installation typically take?

The time it takes to install your new system varies a lot – some setups take a day, and others need more time. It comes down to the scale of the project – its complexity, your security needs, industry standards, and the size of your property. We can confidently set the deadline after the site assessment.

Can I access my CCTV footage remotely from a phone or computer?

Yes, it’s very easy to do if you have a modern system that’s been properly installed and configured. Authorized users will be able to access live footage and logs in a couple of clicks from a smartphone, tablet, or PC.

Can I integrate CCTV with access control and alarms?

Yes, professional smart systems connect your CCTV setup to access control and alarms. Integrated security systems significantly reduce reaction time, need less supervision, and prevent loss more effectively.

With our deep expertise and hands-on experience, we know every system inside and out, letting us recommend and deliver the perfect solutions tailored to your business’s unique security requirements.

Simple Steps for Complete Security

1. Assessment

We look at how you actually use your property and how it operates, not how it looks on paper. Entrances, exits, delivery areas, parking, lighting, and blind spots – all of these matter. We also ask when the space is busiest, when it’s empty, and where issues have happened before. This gives us a clear picture of actual risk – something we need for thoughtful design.

2. Design

Information from the site assessment turns into a clear design. Once we understand your needs and have seen the layout, we design the system around the property. Our team carefully plans camera locations, access control points, and alarms. Before starting the installation, we confirm the design, deadlines, and installation schedule.

3. Installation & Testing

We schedule installation in a way that won’t interfere with your operations. Our team purchases and delivers the equipment. Then our technicians do everything needed to make the system work — cabling, mounting, installation, and configuration. After finishing, we test coverage, alerts, remote access, and integrations to make sure the system works as expected in everyday use.

We had decided to have our alarm and cctv cameras installed by TSNG through a referral from the police officer after our house was invaded. Grim and his crew were super knowledgeable, efficient and very clean and respectful to our property. They made sure that we were comfortable with our new system and made us feel very secure about this wonderful security system. After the installation Grim stated that we could call him with any questions or concerns. The after sale service has been nothing short of a first class organization that consistently returns all my calls and are always willing to help correct any problems large or small. I have since passed on two referrals who have had security and cctv cameras installed and are completely satisfied with Grim and his group. I would highly recommend them and can honestly rate TNSG a 5 star company who truly cares about top notch customer service. Thank you Grim and TNSG for making us feel safe and secure once again.

Regards,
EJ

Highly recommend True North Security Group. I didn’t realize the equipment the guy I’ve been dealing with for years was outdated and Grim got me set up with the latest technology and showed me how to use the app more thoroughly than the other person I’d been using. Great communication and installation was seamless.

We hired TNSG to set up CCTV and access control for our facility, and they did a solid job. The planning phase was straightforward—they worked with us to figure out what we needed, including recommendations to improve our original requirements by implementing things like 180 cameras, and kept things on track. The install happened when they said it would, no delays.

The hardware they used is very good quality, and the camera footage is clear day and night, which is exactly what we wanted. Their tech team knew what they were doing—handled the height work well (having certification for working at heights and all related insurances in place helped our comfort level in terms of liability on site) and sorted out the network setup without any issues. They even spotted a connectivity problem we’d been dealing with elsewhere in the building and fixed it on the spot, which wasn’t part of the deal but saved us a headache.

They’re easy to work with and took the project seriously, like they had a stake in it. The crew was skilled, and it felt like they actually cared about getting it right. We’d use them again.

If it weren’t for TNSG, we’d be dealing with a frustrating mess this morning (a broken window and stolen goods at minimum). Early this morning, we had an attempted vehicle break-in but fortunately the thief was scared off by our home’s active deterrents (cameras, sounds, and lights) and we, in turn, were saved from a major headache.

So glad we found TNSG. The team is amazing to work with and were incredibly helpful at advising on the right solutions for our home (monitoring, exterior and interior deterrents, etc). Highly recommended!
