Are You Facing?
Security camera installation in NYC starts with the system, or the empty ceiling, you have now.
Your situation01Replacing an old CCTV system
What we doMove views to IP in phases, with encoders keeping sound analog cameras recording.What to expect
Sound cable routes are reused and recording continues. Cameras that fail NDAA requirements are replaced. We take over systems from all major brands, including those installed by others, under a managed service plan.
Your situation02New building or fit-out
What we doMark every view on the drawings and cable each camera before ceilings close.What to expect
You approve the coverage plan before anything is ordered. Each Cat6 or Cat6A run carries power and data, so cameras need no separate power.
Your situation03Cameras across several sites
What we doOne exacqVision dashboard for every site, with permissions by role and site.What to expect
Footage stays on site, with cloud access from phone or desktop. As an Exacq dealer and Axis partner, we deploy ONVIF-conformant Axis cameras, so the system stays open.
Your situation04Need footage we can actually use
What we doSet each view to detect, observe or identify, then choose the camera to match.What to expect
A high lobby camera records everything and identifies no one, so we add a lower view at the door. Glass lobbies get wide dynamic range; dark stairwells get infrared.
What Your Security and Operations Teams Get
Commercial security cameras should answer questions, not add screens.
01 / 04
02 / 04Alerts, not screen-watching
What we deliverPeople counting, occupancy, line crossing, loitering and license plate recognition.
Why it matters
Your team is alerted to events, and venues get occupancy figures too.
03 / 04Footage survives failures
What we deliverRAID storage and failover recording, sized to your retention policy.
Why it matters
One failed drive or recorder does not cost you footage. Storage is sized from retention days, camera count, resolution and frame rate.
04 / 04Cameras off office network
What we deliverA separate video VLAN, unique passwords, current firmware and encrypted connections.
Why it matters
Cameras do not become the weak point on your network.

Camera scale at Pacha NYC; analytics that became a platform at Christie's.
Hospitality and nightlife01 / 03
Pacha NYC
over 200 AI-powered cameras across two venues, with occupancy reporting.
What we did
Two venues with different capacity limits. With 25+ technicians at once, we delivered cameras, cabling, access control and occupancy software.
Custom platforms02 / 03
Christie's
people-counting and occupancy technology built for Mirage, later adopted by Christie's.
What we did
Built around Mirage's own operation; the same technology now serves Christie's.
Education03 / 03
Lexington School for the Deaf, Queens (2025)
NDAA-compliant from day one, the standard we apply to every camera.
“The wiring was clean, the camera placement was well thought out, and they made sure to explain the alarm setup properly before leaving. Really appreciated the attention they gave to a smaller project like ours.”
“Installation was quick and clean, and the image quality is fantastic even in our dimly lit warehouse.”

Commercial Security Camera Installation: What Decides the Design and the Cost
Commercial security camera installation is scoped by what each view must prove, not by a camera count.
| Objective | What the image must show | Typical locations |
|---|---|---|
| Detect | A person or vehicle is present | Perimeters, roofs, loading areas, open floors |
| Observe | What a person is doing and where they go | Corridors, sales floors, lobbies, stairs |
| Identify | A face or plate clear enough to rely on later | Entrances, reception, cash points, gates |
Which camera for which view
Dome and bullet for fixed views. PTZ for plazas and loading yards. Thermal where darkness, weather or distance defeat a standard camera. IP66 and IK10 housings for exposed cameras. Restrooms and changing areas are excluded by design and marked on the plan.
NDAA, Privacy and NYC Compliance for Business Cameras
A compliant video surveillance system in NYC is decided at design stage, around three issues.
01 / 03NDAA Section 889
What we deliverNDAA-compliant cameras only, so schools and public bodies start compliant.
Why it matters
Federally funded projects must avoid video equipment from certain manufacturers, including Hikvision, Dahua, Hytera, Huawei and ZTE.
02 / 03Biometric signage
What we deliverFace analytics flagged at design, so you can check obligations with counsel.
Why it matters
Under NYC's biometric identifier law, retail stores, food and drink establishments and places of entertainment that collect customers' biometric information, such as face geometry, must post a clear sign near every customer entrance and may not sell, lease, trade or share it for anything of value.
03 / 03Audio and retention policy
What we deliverVideo without audio in most commercial areas, and a written footage policy.
Why it matters
Everyone knows how footage is kept, shared and deleted.

FAQs
Security Camera Installation FAQs
How much does commercial security camera installation cost in NYC?
Commercial security camera installation cost in NYC depends on camera count and type, cabling access, storage and retention, and VMS licensing. We price from a site survey and coverage plan, not a package. Our guide to security camera installation cost explains each driver.
How many cameras does our building need?
The number of cameras your building needs depends on what each view must prove. We mark every detect, observe and identify view on the floor plan with your team, and the count follows from that plan.
When should we upgrade an existing camera system?
Upgrade an existing camera system when footage is too poor to identify anyone, recorders are full, cameras drop offline, there is no remote viewing, or hardware fails NDAA requirements. We take over systems from all major brands, including those installed by others, under a managed service plan.
Do you offer CCTV installation in NYC for older analog systems?
Yes, we offer CCTV installation in NYC that replaces analog systems with IP cameras, usually in phases. Encoders keep sound analog cameras recording while views move to IP, reusing sound cable routes.
Do you install commercial security cameras across New York City?
Yes, we handle security camera installation across New York City, in all five boroughs. Work is commercial only: offices, venues, schools, institutions, retail, hospitality and multi-tenant buildings.
