Why Muskoka Lakes businesses choose us as their security camera installation company
Plenty of companies sell cameras. Fewer plan them properly, install them cleanly and answer the phone three years later. This is what you get with us.
Licensed and insured
Licensed, insured technicians who follow Ontario privacy law and the Electrical Safety Code on every job.
24/7 remote support
Remote diagnostics and after-hours help when a camera goes dark or you need footage for police or insurance.
Designed per site
Every layout is drawn for the building in front of us, with the camera types that fit each position.
14 years of installs
We have installed cameras since 2010, from single-door shops to a 270,000 square foot warehouse with 200 cameras.
Security camera types we install in Muskoka Lakes
Surveillance camera installation is not one camera repeated twelve times. We match the type to the position: turret at the doors, fisheye over the floor, bullet on the fence, plate camera at the gate. Here is what we install and where it fits.
Turret cameras
Our default outdoor camera for storefronts, loading docks and yards. The ball-in-socket design aims easily, the IR sits away from the lens so there is no glare, and the housing shrugs off snow.
Dome cameras
Vandal-resistant domes for lobbies, corridors, parking garages and retail floors. Nobody can tell where the lens points, and the housing takes a hit without losing the picture.
Bullet cameras
Long-range cameras for fence lines, laneways, gates and large parking lots. Varifocal lenses let us read a plate or a face from 30 metres and beyond.
PTZ cameras
Pan, tilt and zoom cameras that follow movement across a warehouse floor or a truck yard. One PTZ with auto-tracking can replace several fixed cameras on a large site.
Wireless cameras
Wi-Fi and point-to-point radio cameras for outbuildings, gates and sites where trenching a cable makes no sense. We size the radio link so the video never stutters.
Battery-powered cameras
Cameras that run for months on a charge for temporary needs, remote sheds and spots with no power at all. They record on motion and send alerts to your phone.
Solar-powered cameras
A camera, battery and solar panel on one pole for construction sites, farms, marinas and lots with no hydro. We add LTE so the footage reaches you anywhere.
DVR and analog upgrades
If you already have coax cable, we can upgrade an old analog DVR system to UltraHD cameras on the same wires, which saves most of the labour of a new install.
How we plan camera coverage
Good security camera installation is mostly planning. These are the three things we work out on every site visit before a single hole is drilled.
Mounting height and what it gives you
Height is a trade-off between reach and detail. Around three metres gives clear faces and keeps the camera out of easy reach. Four to five metres gives an overview of a floor or a garage. Six metres and up covers a yard, but only with a narrow lens or a PTZ.
CCTV brands we install and the features you get
We install brands we can support for years, not whatever is cheapest this month. These are the lines we put on Muskoka Lakes sites and why.
Uniview (UNV)
Our most installed camera line. ColorHunter cameras give full colour at night, LightHunter sensors handle mixed lighting, and the NVRs scale from four to hundreds of channels. Our biggest project runs 200 Uniview cameras on a 200 TB recorder.
- 200cameras on one Uniview system, our largest install
- 1stmulti-lens Uniview camera installed in Canada, by us
- 3 yrinstallation warranty on every Uniview system
Ubiquiti UniFi Protect
Cameras, recorder, network and Wi-Fi from one console with no licence fees. A strong fit for offices, clinics and multi-site businesses that want everything in one app.
Axis Communications
Premium Swedish cameras for demanding sites: sharp optics, long service life, open platform analytics and excellent cybersecurity practices.
Verkada
Cloud-managed cameras with built-in storage and simple sharing across many locations. Ideal for organisations that do not want on-site servers.
Cisco
Cloud-managed Meraki cameras, switches and Wi-Fi run from one dashboard, a fit for organisations already on Meraki networks.
Dahua
Full-colour and thermal cameras at a sharp price point, a good fit for yards, farms and plazas where the budget matters.
Ajax Systems
Wireless alarm, motion and video verification that pairs with the cameras for monitored sites and after-hours protection.

Before and after: upgrading an old CCTV system
Many Muskoka Lakes businesses already have cameras that no longer show enough to be useful. If the cable is sound we reuse it, swap the cameras and recorder, and the difference looks like this.
Left: the old analog camera, soft and noisy. Right: an UltraHD camera in the same position on the same cable, with faces and plates readable. Drag the handle.
How we will help you install security cameras in Muskoka Lakes
The installation of video surveillance goes wrong when steps get skipped. These are the nine we follow on every Muskoka Lakes job. Keep scrolling and each step comes into focus.
Step 1 of 9
Security planning
- 1
Security planning
We walk the property with you, note every entry, blind corner, cash point and asset, and agree on what each camera must show: a face, a plate, an overview or a process.
- 2
Equipment selection
We pick cameras for each position rather than one model everywhere: turret at the doors, fisheye over the floor, bullet on the fence, plate camera at the gate, all sized to your network and recorder.
- 3
Positioning and placement
We mark heights, angles and lens choices on a plan so each camera covers its zone without glare, backlight or overlap you pay for twice.
- 4
Installation
Our own technicians mount the cameras, run and label the cable, seal every exterior penetration and leave the site clean. No subcontractors.
- 5
Network connectivity
Cameras go on their own VLAN with PoE switches sized for the load, and outbuildings get a wireless bridge that we test for throughput before we leave.
- 6
Configuration
Motion zones, person and vehicle detection, schedules, alerts and user accounts are set for your business, not left on factory defaults.
- 7
Recording and storage
We calculate retention from camera count, resolution and frame rate, then fit the NVR drives to it, with cloud or off-site copies for the cameras that matter most.
- 8
Testing and fine-tuning
We check every view by day and by night, adjust angles and exposure, and hand you a camera map that shows what each one covers.
- 9
Ongoing support
Firmware updates, health checks, lens cleaning and fast help when you need to pull footage. Our 3-year warranty covers the installation, and maintenance plans cover the rest.

Security cameras installation in Muskoka Lakes: questions we get asked
Straight answers on cost, timing, legality and equipment. If yours is not here, call us and ask.
Can I watch my cottage cameras from the city all winter?
Yes. We set up secure remote viewing and person or vehicle alerts on your phone, and local recording on a recorder at the cottage so nothing is lost if the connection drops. Where there is no reliable internet we install Starlink.
Will the cameras work at minus 30 with no one there?
Yes. We use housings rated to minus 30 degrees, add heaters where a lens faces the wind, put the recorder on a small battery backup, and set the system to email you if power or internet goes down.
Can you install cameras on an island cottage?
Yes. We plan around boat access, bring everything in one trip, use wireless links between buildings and Starlink for the connection, and schedule before the lake freezes or after it opens.
Is it legal to record audio with security cameras?
Video in public-facing and work areas is allowed with signage and a legitimate purpose. Audio is more restricted, so we normally leave microphones off in staff areas and only enable audio where you have a clear reason and notice is given.
Wired or wireless cameras for a business?
Wired PoE cameras are more reliable and record continuously, so we use them wherever we can run a cable. Wireless bridges and LTE cameras are for outbuildings, gates, construction sites and other places where a cable is impractical.
How many cameras does my business need?
A small store or office needs four to eight cameras to cover doors, tills and the lot. A plaza, clinic or mid-size warehouse usually needs 16 to 32. We count positions on the site visit and show you the coverage on a plan before you decide.
How long is footage kept?
We size recorders for at least 30 days and usually 60 to 90 days for commercial sites. With smart detection and larger drives, retention of six months or more is practical.
