The Importance of Video Surveillance Service — Austin, TX

Video surveillance is the most sought-after security solution for many property owners in Austin. While burglar alarm systems are important, most owners prioritize cameras because they deliver real-time visibility, evidence capture, and remote access from anywhere.

The Importance of Video Surveillance Service

Video surveillance is the most sought after security system solution. Most property owners want video surveillance on the property over a burglar alarm system.

Highly recommended: have eyes on your property 24×7 with at least 30 days of retention. It’s critical for owners and operators to access video at all times—regardless of location. Having cameras on your property helps deter criminal activity, protect assets, and reduce frivolous claims.

Each camera can be configured for specific retention and resolution, balancing clarity with storage needs.

Our team provides Full Onsite Service with every system. The video surveillance machine includes a lifetime replacement warranty, and cameras include a 5-year workmanship warranty.
