Commercial Security Camera Systems (CCTV)
IP camera and NVR installs with clean cabling, proper coverage planning, and remote viewing setup.
We place cameras for coverage and retention needs — not just maximum count. PoE cabling, NVR storage configuration, and secure remote access setup are all part of a complete commercial camera install.

What is a commercial security camera installation?
A commercial security camera installation is a wired IP camera plant with Power over Ethernet, an NVR or equivalent recorder, and remote viewing for authorized staff. Atkins Tech Solutions installs it as low-voltage infrastructure, not a consumer kit on guest Wi-Fi.
What's included
- IP camera and NVR system design
- PoE cabling and clean wire management
- Interior, exterior, and loading dock coverage
- Secure remote viewing for owners and managers
What we install
Commercial camera systems need thoughtful placement, reliable PoE infrastructure, and storage sized for your retention requirements.
- IP cameras — dome, turret, and bullet form factors
- NVR with storage sized for retention needs
- PoE switches and clean cable runs
- Remote viewing apps for owners and property managers
Coverage planning
We walk your property and identify entry points, cash handling areas, parking, loading docks, and blind spots — then design a camera layout that gives you useful footage, not just more cameras.
- Entry and exit point coverage
- POS and cash handling areas
- Parking and exterior perimeter
- Loading docks and rear entries
For GCs and electrical subs
Camera rough-in and trim-out coordinated with your construction schedule — PoE drops, pathway sharing, and NVR placement planned before drywall closes.
- PoE infrastructure sized for camera count and retention
- Rough-in during construction phases
- Trim-out, testing, and owner handoff documentation
- Combined scope with access control when needed
Integration with access control
Cameras and door access often go together. We deploy both under a single low-voltage scope so your property has unified security coverage.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Can cameras integrate with access control?
- Yes. Atkins Tech Solutions often deploys cameras and door access together as a single low-voltage scope for GCs and property managers.
- How long is footage retained?
- Retention depends on NVR storage, camera count, resolution, and motion. Atkins Tech Solutions sizes storage from the owner's requirement during the quote — not a default 'about two weeks.'
- Can I view cameras remotely?
- Yes. Atkins Tech Solutions configures secure remote viewing apps for owners, managers, and authorized staff on commercial IP systems.
- Should commercial cameras run on Wi-Fi?
- Atkins Tech Solutions prefers wired PoE cameras on a dedicated VLAN. Wireless cameras are a last resort where cable cannot be pulled.
- Do you rough-in cameras on new construction?
- Yes. Atkins Tech Solutions pulls PoE homeruns at rough-in so trim-out is mounts, aiming, and NVR — not fishing cable after drywall.
- Who installs commercial cameras in Allentown or Stroudsburg?
- Atkins Tech Solutions installs commercial IP camera systems in the Lehigh Valley, Pocono Mountains, NEPA, and Northern New Jersey.
