Physical security, on the same network you already trust us with.

Why do video and access together

Most businesses end up doing both eventually. Doing them together upfront is significantly cheaper and cleaner:

• Shared cabling. One trip through the ceiling, one set of cable runs, half the install labor.
• Shared planning. Where cameras need to see is usually correlated with where doors need to be controlled. We design both at the same time.
• Linked evidence. When a door event happens, we can pull the camera footage from the same moment automatically. Investigations take minutes instead of hours.
• One vendor. One number for support, one company that knows your environment, no finger-pointing between camera and access-control vendors.

Why we sell what we sell

Digital Watchdog (cameras)

Our default video platform. Strong analytics built in (motion zones, license plate, person/vehicle detection), reasonable licensing, and a made-in-USA option (DW Spectrum) that matters for some government and regulated customers. Cameras hold up in real-world deployments. NDAA-compliant for federal-adjacent work.

Ubiquiti UniFi Protect (cameras)

Lower-cost option for customers already on Ubiquiti UniFi networks. No recurring licensing fees, one pane of glass for network and cameras, solid for small to mid-size businesses without strict regulatory requirements.

PDK / ProdataKey (access control)

Our default access platform. Cloud-managed, mobile credentials (issue from your phone), browser-based admin, scales from 2 doors to 200 across multiple sites. No on-premise server to maintain, no per-user licensing surprises. Strong audit trail for compliance.

Grandstream (cameras and intercoms)

IP cameras, video intercoms, and door stations. Pairs especially well with customers already on Grandstream voice systems. Cost-effective for cameras at entry points and lobby callboxes.

Common deployments we do

Office buildings

Cameras at entries, parking lots, lobbies, and sensitive areas (server room, document storage, cash handling). Access control on the front door and any restricted-access rooms. Most offices we equip end up with 8–20 cameras and 4–10 controlled doors.

Manufacturing and warehouse

Cameras on shop floors (safety incidents, theft), loading docks (shipping disputes, accuracy), and around perimeter. Access control on employee entrances, loading docks, and any segregated production areas. Often integrates with HR systems for automatic credential lifecycle.

Multi-site retail and service

Cameras at each location, centrally monitored. Manager phone access from any site. Real-time review of unusual events. Often funded by the insurance discount the policy will give for installed surveillance.

Healthcare and medical offices

Cameras at waiting areas, hallways (not exam rooms), pharmaceuticals storage, and entries. Access control segregating staff areas from patient areas. HIPAA-aware retention policies. Audit trails for every door event.

Education

Cameras at building entries, hallways, parking lots. Access control on building entries with bell-schedule integration and lockdown capability. Visitor management on top of the same system.

What an install includes

1. Site walkthrough. We walk every camera location, every controlled door, every cable path. You'll get a real proposal with quantities and positions, not a guess.
2. Network planning. Cameras and access controllers run on a dedicated VLAN, isolated from your general network. We design this as part of the deployment.
3. Cabling. Cat6 to every camera and controller. We run it ourselves or coordinate with our structured cabling team.
4. Configuration. Cameras tuned (focus, exposure, motion zones), access controllers programmed, schedules and door groups set up.
5. Training. Manager and admin training on the system. We leave a one-page reference.
6. Ongoing support. Help when something breaks, plus regular firmware updates, license renewals managed, and audit-log reviews on request.
