Can CCTV cameras record audio?

Yes, there are cameras that support audio recording. Whether the camera records sound depends not only on the camera model, but on the way it has been set up. IP CCTV cameras are usually the preferred option for this purpose — the perfect advanced solution for recording higher quality sound.This feature is very important in cases that call for dispute resolution to clear up misunderstandings or support your stand. It’s also used for customer service monitoring to make sure the staff follows the agreed-upon procedures when interacting with customers.

Should I choose a wired or wireless CCTV system?

The choice between wired and wireless cameras highly depends on the scale of your business. For small businesses, a wireless setup is often the better option. They are much easier to install and can be easily moved without external help. These are often preferred by businesses like convenience shops, agencies, salons, or professional service providers like law firms.

Do I need permission for CCTV installation at my business?

In most cases, you don’t need a specific government permit for security camera installation. However, exceptions exist for medical facilities and when leasing or subleasing a property.Regardless, any business must ensure strict compliance with privacy laws. You can safely get a video surveillance system as long as you adhere to all the privacy and transparency requirements. Professional CCTV installation teams ensure compliance with all the laws and regulations to avoid unnecessary issues in the future.

Do I need a site security assessment?

Yes, a site security assessment is the first step in safeguarding your property. This detailed evaluation finds current vulnerabilities, assesses risks, and helps prioritize the right protection measures. Sign up for a free assessment from professionals with over 15 years of CCTV installation experience.

Does video surveillance installation include wiring?

Yes, professional CCTV installation can include wiring if it’s required in your case specifically.

Your wiring will be safe, secure, and neatly concealed — The True North Security Group technicians will leave you with a fully functional and thoroughly tested security camera setup.

What does NDAA compliance mean for CCTV installation?

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) sets standards for security cameras used in the U.S. federal facilities. While not legally obliged to follow these restrictions, many Canadian businesses choose NDAA-compliant systems when looking for a reliable and secure video surveillance solution.The True North Security Group works with trusted NDAA-compliant camera manufacturers that produce cameras with the utmost performance and the lowest security risks.

Does having a security camera system reduce damages from floods and fires?

Yes, CCTVs are of great help when it comes to natural disasters. They catch the early signs like smoke, sparking, or rising water levels. You can act quicker, preventing extensive damage and ensuring the safety of everyone in the building.

What causes false alarms in motion sensors?

Rapid temperature shifts, small animals, low batteries, or moving objects can trigger false alarms. The Ajax systems we install minimize false alarms with adjustable sensitivity and commercial-grade AI built into the CCTV system.

Yes, we can easily integrate the new system with software like Milestone and Genetec for enhanced functionality and efficiency. Reach out to our team for details on compatibility and setup, and let us help you streamline your security management.

Two-way audio

Communicate through your CCTV camera in real time to deter intruders and monitor employees. You can provide quick responses and intervene in case of emergencies or suspicious behaviour.

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!
