SecurityCoverage designed around the property—not random camera placement.
Security Camera Installation
A video surveillance system should provide useful coverage, dependable recording, secure remote access, and clear evidence without creating avoidable blind spots.
Professional installation
Designed around the space, system, and result.
Camera count alone does not determine system quality. Viewing angle, mounting height, lens selection, lighting, night conditions, entry paths, network bandwidth, recording retention, power, weather exposure, and privacy all affect the result.
Valence Connected scopes camera systems as part of the property infrastructure. Cameras, network switches, cabling, recording equipment, remote access, alerts, and user permissions are coordinated into one supportable system.
What the scope may include Coverage and risk review Indoor and outdoor camera placement IP camera or CCTV system planning Network and power-path planning NVR or recording configuration Remote viewing and user permissions Motion and event settings System testing and documentation

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between IP cameras and traditional CCTV?
IP cameras communicate over a network and commonly support higher resolution, analytics, and flexible management. Traditional coax-based systems may remain practical in some existing installations. The correct choice depends on infrastructure and requirements.
How long can security footage be stored?
Retention depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, recording schedule, compression, activity, and available storage. Storage should be sized around an actual retention goal.
Can cameras be viewed remotely?
Many systems support secure mobile or browser viewing. Remote access should be configured with appropriate accounts, permissions, updates, network security, and recovery procedures.
Do security cameras require internet service?
Local recording can often continue without internet access, while remote viewing, cloud services, and off-site alerts typically require connectivity. The exact behavior depends on the selected system.
