Camera Count
A 4-camera system covering doors and driveway costs less than 8-camera full-perimeter coverage. The free survey tells you exactly how many angles your property actually needs — we don’t pad camera counts.
Straight numbers from a local installer. Residential systems run $1,200–$3,500 installed. Commercial is quoted per site after a free survey. Every quote is flat, written, and final — no monthly fees, ever.
That range covers the full job: cameras, NVR recorder, cabling, mounting, configuration, and phone-app setup. Where your quote lands inside it depends on four things — and nothing else.

4K cameras cost more per unit than 1080p but capture plate and face detail at distances 1080p can’t. We’ll tell you honestly where 4K matters on your property and where it doesn’t.
Long runs, brick exteriors, and tight attic or crawlspace work take more labor. This is usually the difference between the low and high end of a quote for the same camera count.
How many days of footage you want to keep sets the NVR drive size. More cameras at higher resolution need more storage to hold the same number of days.
Most national brands price the hardware low and make it back on a cloud subscription that bills every month, per camera, for as long as you own the system. STR Tech systems record locally to an NVR you own. You watch live from your phone for free, you own every minute of footage, and your cost after install day is zero. Over a few years, that difference is usually bigger than the install itself.
Warehouses, retail, restaurants, auto shops, storage facilities, apartment complexes, construction sites — commercial quotes scale with property size and camera count, from 8-camera storefronts to 64-camera multi-building systems. Every commercial quote starts with a free on-site walk and ends with a flat written number, including documentation for insurance and property managers.
We walk the property first and quote what it actually needs — no phone-estimate guesswork.
The number you sign is the number you pay. No surprise add-ons on install day.
Plus 2–3 years of manufacturer coverage on most cameras.
Live viewing configured on your devices, walked through until you’re comfortable.

No. STR Tech systems record locally to your own NVR. You own your footage, watch it live from your phone for free, and never pay a cloud subscription.
Usually, yes. We add cameras, replace failing hardware, re-terminate cabling, and upgrade old analog kits to 4K IP — reusing what still works. Get a survey before you scrap your current system.
Yes. We walk the property, map camera positions, and hand you a flat written quote at no cost and no obligation.
