Dallas-Fort Worth Security Camera Installers

Security Cameras Installation from 2009 to today

We started with a service area that spanned the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex and beyond. In those days, it was mainly commercial CCTV security cameras because the technology was new and it was primarily businesses and governments who could afford it. The security cameras didn’t offer much; the video was black & white (no color) and the image quality was very low. Wide-angle views and the ability to clearly see what the cameras were viewing, from any distance, was limited. We used PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) and varifocal lens cameras to compensate; but it left much to be desired.

Over time, the security cameras have improved in many ways. Image resolution has taken marked leaps, audio was added and speakers too; allowing for bidirectional communication. Wireless cameras came on the scene and doorbell cameras became popular. Today, we not only have infrared night vision but we have dual infrared sensors, providing PIR capability that can distinguish relevant motion such as a person, vehicle or animal from simple motion such as a tree blowing or blades of grass moving. Motion detection recording has been around for some time but irrelevant motion would constantly trigger it, making it ineffective at its intended function — to prevent cluttering storage with useless recordings or to send alerts when a potential security issue was unfolding.

Now we can finally have meaningful alerts that notify us only if an object of interest comes within the security camera’s field of view and our storage is not filled with recordings that are not security-relevant. Years ago, it was common to have a TV or monitor that displayed the security cameras 24/7 but now that smartphones and the apps that run on them has developed, we enjoy a much more rich experience in security camera remote viewing and management. For the longest time, security camera remote viewing apps only offered live view functionality. The apps were buggy, difficult to setup and so limited in function that it would require accessing the DVR directly for anything advanced, such as viewing or backing up recordings. Today, we can do this from anywhere in the world right on our connected devices.

Now we are seeing wireless security cameras that not only transmit images wirelessly but we have removed the need for a power wire as well, thanks to the advancements in battery technology, sensors and the code that enables these battery powered wireless cameras to strike a fair balance between security and energy efficiency. Today, there are cameras with solar panels to provide power, SIM cards for connectivity and microSD cards for storage, making them completely autonomous. The industry sure has changed in the time we’ve been here to watch it and take part in it.

In this time, it has not been only the security camera offerings that we have seen make huge surges in growth; Dallas Fort Worth is growing too! While we used to have a much larger service area, we now try to stay more locally focused, except in rare occasions. We are located in Grapevine Texas and that puts us in prime position to cover all of the surrounding cities, including Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, Hurst, Euless, Bedford, Flowermound, North Richland Hills, Irving, Las Colinas and most of Fort Worth. We still provide security camera services in Dallas, Plano, Coppell, Farmers Branch, Carrolton and some other communities as well but our ability to cover the territory we once could is limited.

We are a tight-knit small team with shared values. Pride in workmanship, customer service and passion for our trade have allowed us to maintain the quality that we are known for. This industry moves fast and in order to continue to be a local leading security cameras installer, it requires that we constantly advance our education on the topic. The Internet is great; thanks to the cloud, we have access to unlimited information but we feel that some of our best learning is done facing real challenges on the ground.

There really is no replacement for experience and it can be hard to find candidates that have the skillset coupled with the right mindset so we have chosen to stay small. We get our kicks from seeing the look on our customers’ faces when we enrich their life experience and make them feel more secure. Rather than growing, we are staying focused on our community and those close to us. We will continue to service most of Tarrant county from Grapevine to Fort Worth and the adjacent areas. We commonly install security cameras in Arlington, Grand Prairie, Pantego but we have gone as far as Austin and we will still evaluate each situation as it comes.

Thanks for letting us be of service for all these years! We look forward to continuing to help everyone we can.
