A surveillance system is a wired network of IP cameras feeding a local recorder, giving you continuous coverage and reviewable footage without depending on a subscription cloud. NetworkAware designs camera placement for real sightlines, runs Power-over-Ethernet to each location, and configures recording and remote access that you own and control.
Wired Power-over-Ethernet cameras deliver constant power, full-resolution streams, and reliable recording that battery Wi-Fi cameras can't match. A single Cat6A cable carries both power and 4K video, so there are no dead batteries, no dropped clips, and no monthly fee to see your own footage.
Effective coverage comes from placement, not camera count. We position cameras to capture every entry point, driveway, and perimeter approach with overlapping sightlines and no blind spots, accounting for lighting, mounting height, and lens angle so faces and plates are usable — not just distant, unidentifiable motion.
Footage records to an on-site NVR you own, typically retaining about thirty days depending on camera count and resolution. Local recording means your video isn't hostage to a subscription, stays private, and remains available even if internet service drops — with secure remote viewing layered on top.

It's a network of digital IP cameras connected over Ethernet to an on-site recorder (NVR), delivering high-resolution video, local storage, and secure remote viewing that you own and control.
For permanent installations, yes. Wired PoE cameras have constant power, full-resolution streams, and reliable recording, with no batteries to change or dropped clips from a weak Wi-Fi signal.
Typically around 30 days, depending on the number of cameras, resolution, and recording mode. We size the NVR storage to your retention needs during design.
No. Because footage records to a local NVR you own, there's no required cloud subscription to view or store your video. Remote access is included without a recurring fee.
Yes. We configure secure mobile and desktop apps for live and recorded viewing, with the camera network hardened and isolated to keep access private.
It depends on the property, not a fixed number. We design coverage around entries, driveways, and perimeter approaches with overlapping sightlines and no blind spots.
Yes. Surveillance can trigger lighting, notify you through the automation system, and tie into door locks and gates for coordinated security responses.
Yes. We specify cameras with strong low-light and infrared performance and place them accounting for existing and added lighting so footage stays identifiable after dark.
We isolate cameras on a segmented VLAN, change default credentials, and keep firmware current, reducing the exposure that makes poorly configured cameras a target.
