Why You Should Install Security Cameras Today
Modern surveillance cameras are more than just recording devices. They allow you to:
- View your property in real time from anywhere
- Receive instant alerts for motion or suspicious activity
- Keep recordings as evidence if an incident occurs
- Deter potential intruders before they act
In Sacramento and surrounding areas, we install systems that run 24/7 and integrate with your smartphone. Book a free consultation — we’ll help you find the perfect solution for your needs and budget.
How to Choose the Right Security System for Your Home or Business
Before installing a system, consider these factors:
- Location. Outdoor cameras must be weatherproof and vandal-resistant.
- Resolution. For crystal-clear images, choose at least 4MP or 4K cameras.
- Night Vision. Infrared lighting ensures 24/7 protection.
- Remote Access. Ability to monitor from your phone or computer.
- Storage. Cloud, local, or hybrid recording options.
At StaySafe365, we help you select and install equipment that delivers long-lasting security and peace of mind.
Top 5 Mistakes When Installing Security Cameras
- Wrong viewing angle — leaving “blind spots” unprotected
- Using low-resolution cameras
- No backup power supply
- Improper cable routing
- No cybersecurity protection for IP cameras
We know how to avoid these mistakes and ensure your cameras are installed correctly from the start.
Do You Really Need Cloud Video Storage?
Cloud storage is convenient — access your recordings anytime, anywhere. However, it often requires a monthly subscription. Local storage (DVR/NVR) has no ongoing fees but can be vulnerable if stolen.
We offer hybrid systems that store footage locally and in the cloud for maximum safety.
How Much Does a Security System Installation Cost?
Pricing depends on:
- Number of cameras
- Camera type (indoor/outdoor, IP or analog)
- Extra features (night vision, pan-tilt, motion sensors)
On average, a full installation in Sacramento starts from $350 for 4 poe video cameras. We provide free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your property.
