Question 1

How much does security camera installation cost in Utah?

Answer

Professional security camera installation in Utah typically ranges from $1,500 to $8,000 depending on several factors: number of cameras (most homes need 4-5), camera types (bullet, dome, PTZ), property size, and installation complexity. Our basic 4-camera system starts around $2,500 including professional installation, equipment, and 3-year warranty with no monthly fees.

Question 2

What's the difference between wired and wireless security cameras?

Answer

Wired cameras use Ethernet cables for both power and data, providing reliable 24/7 recording without WiFi dependency, battery changes, or signal issues. Wireless cameras rely on batteries and WiFi, which can fail during power outages or internet disruptions. Wired systems typically last 8-10+ years while wireless cameras need battery replacements every 1-2 years.

Question 3

How many cameras do I need for my 2,500 sq ft home?

Answer

For a 2,500 sq ft Utah home, we typically recommend 5-6 cameras: front door (180° camera), backyard (floodlight camera), driveway (bullet camera), side yard coverage, garage area, and optionally an interior camera for common areas. This provides complete perimeter coverage with overlapping views to eliminate blind spots.

Question 4

Do security cameras work during power outages?

Answer

Yes, our wired security systems include battery backup (UPS) that provides 4-8 hours of continuous recording during power outages. Since they don't rely on internet connectivity, they continue monitoring your property even when WiFi is down. Wireless cameras typically stop working when power is lost unless they have individual battery backups.

Question 5

How long does security camera installation take?

Answer

Most residential installations take 6-8 hours for a 4-5 camera system. Commercial installations typically require 1-3 days depending on the property size and camera count. We complete the entire process in one visit: site survey, cable running, camera mounting, system configuration, and client training.
