Looking for the best video surveillance installation companies? Compare them on the things that decide how the system performs years later: design, testing, documentation, and support. IP Systems has designed, installed, and supported video systems for commercial and public-sector organizations since 1998. Here is how we work, and what to ask any installer, including us.
Assessment, design, installation, and support for video surveillance, with the steps other bids sometimes leave out.
Design and installation by our certified, trained installation team, from camera purpose and placement through cabling, PoE budget, VMS setup, and acceptance testing. You sign off on the installation and training before closeout.
An obligation-free assessment of your property and existing systems. It identifies risks and gaps and tells you what can be reused, useful before you ask several installers to bid on the same scope.
Hosted and managed services store video with certified data center partners, and our NOC monitors device health with nearly immediate notifications. Neither is live video monitoring.
The best installation company for you is the one whose proposal you can check. Look for a stated purpose for each camera, a switch and storage plan, an acceptance test you sign, and a documentation package with credentials in your name. Have someone review the submittal too: we once caught highway-style plate cameras specified for small lot poles, and a better-fit model saved almost $1,200 per camera. IPS works this way, and we'll answer these same questions about our own proposals.
What to expect from IPS, and what to expect from any installer you're comparing us with.
IPS has designed, installed, and supported security systems for businesses and public agencies since 1998.
Every camera gets a defined job before it gets a mounting location. That decides the count and the spec.
You accept the installation and the training before we close out, with documentation handed over.
Most clients keep IPS for support, maintenance visits, and device health monitoring after go-live.

More than cameras on walls. A complete installation covers a needs assessment, a design that states what each camera must show, cabling and network work, VMS or NVR setup, acceptance testing, training, and documentation handover. When two proposals differ a lot in price, check which of those steps one of them left out. Testing and documentation are the usual casualties.
