Security Camera Systems
We provide comprehensive security camera systems and installations that protect your property, assets, and employees. Our custom video surveillance solutions address specific security concerns while maintaining budgetary constraints.
Modern security systems often offer high-definition footage, remote viewing, and motion detection, as well as advanced features such as intelligent analytics and identification of any unusual activity for automated alerts. Whether you need basic record-and-store footage, or these advanced security features, our experts will guide you through selecting the right system and components for your needs.
Expert CCTV Installation and Repair
The effectiveness of your security system depends on proper installation, which is why we always recommend professional installation. We have fixed dozens of DIY installs throughout the Philadelphia region, and it’s common for these fixes to be more complex or difficult than an initial proper install. We take a consultative approach to consider factors such as lighting conditions, weather exposure, and your specific security needs. This attention to detail ensures your professionally designed system will never need to be re-installed or fixed; we get the job done right the first time around.

Video End Equipment
- Re-using older cameras? IP, Analog or HD-over Coax?
- What type of DVR, NVR or VMS equipment/software would you like to us? Do you want access to the recording offsite or who can access it? Typically management only and most cases the Human Resources department skips
over the managers in larger companies.
In Depth Thinking
- Do you need to monitor a specific area to know if something is happening?
- What do you need to see at that area? Any person tampering with equipment or even protecting a assembly line?
- Depending on the camera system and resolution of the cameras how long do you need to keep your recordings?
As we are experts in factories and warehouse video surveillance installations, we typically use loading docks to protect from outside visitors or vendors.
The above questions can steer you towards what video surveillance solution would work for your location and needs. Bridge Cable and our expert video surveillance company in the PA, NJ and DE typically will also run wiring for even pre-purchased cameras if you do not wish to purchase an entire package.

Cameras Locations
What is your asset that you are trying to protect? Pick high value areas or locations. Typically the more cameras you add then more storage on your above video equipment is needed. For example if you have 2 cameras recording for 30 days then say perhaps 1 TB of storage is fine. If you add 10 more cameras then you will need to buy additional storage space or can only record for up to 5 days until you are out of space. When out of space the system can default to overwrite the past few days. This is a question we review and how long you need to keep the recordings.
What are the actual locations, outside or internal cameras? Do you need certain mountings? Fixed Dome? Bullet? What angles need to be seen?
Networking
- How is the CCTV or the security solution going to be accessed? Typically most systems are on a different subnet of the existing network. Who is programming the system? VPN access for remote access?
- Do you have the POE, Power Over Ethernet, switches in place or need them? Are you porting over analog older cameras? Is it coming from various locations?
- Do you know how far away is the camera end location from the IDF or MDF?
We understand that some clients just think that video surveillance is plug-in and play. Yet some configuration is needed upon installation and we do offer tutoring onsite if purchased through our network cabling services team.
Did you know that the Bridge Cable senior office staff can provide you with a marked blueprint that will include the line of sight for each camera? This will help visualize the exact type of coverage you want for specific areas of your home or business. The best part, it is free of charge!
How do Security Camera Systems Work?
The modern security system uses integrated hardware and software to capture footage across a premises by connecting video cameras to a central recording device. Depending on the system set up, this device may be different in both how it records and how it stores the footage. Most modern systems use a VMS, or Video Management Software that allows it to send automated alerts.
The power and connectivity of a system also varies based on the initial set up, which is why it’s important to get a professional to design your system, even if you purchase your own cameras and VMS. Traditional setups require separate cables for both power and video, while IP camera systems will use a combined system to simplify installation.
Storage requirements for the system depend on the camera’s resolution, frame rate, and retention period. Typically, these systems will use a local hard drive storage with a range of options for redundant backups, or a cloud-based alternative. Remote access is another type of functionality that allows authorized users to view footage from anywhere using mobile apps and web interfaces. Depending on these interfaces and remote access capabilities, the security system may require additional cables and design considerations.
How Much Does it Cost to Install a Security Camera System?
Security camera system costs vary based on your specific needs and the features desired. It will also cost more to install security cameras across a larger property than a smaller one, so it’s difficult to generalize the costs to an average. Several factors influence the pricing, such as the number of cameras needed, the quality of footage, and any advanced capabilities such as cloud storage, night vision, automated alerts, and motion detection software.
For storage, longer retention periods and higher resolution footage require more storage capacity and redundancies, but the cost of equipment should remain the same regardless of the system. After that, labor costs depend on the complexity of the project, from how many cable runs are required, any mounting challenges, and whether we need to integrate the cameras into any existing systems.
At Bridge Cable, we provide customized solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all package. Our expert technicians design systems that address your security needs, all while respecting your budgetary constraints.
What Does the Security Camera System Installation Process Look Like?
At Bridge Cable, we believe that installing a security system for your place of business should be easy. We strive to make the process straight-forward and stress-free by starting with a thorough site assessment to understand your specific security needs. By simplifying the process at the start, not only do we better understand your needs and can design a system to address these concerns directly, but we can simplify the process for you, allowing you to have a mostly hands-off experience in the design outside of an initial consultation.
Our experienced installers work efficiently and quickly, causing minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations while installing the system. We’ll coordinate our schedule around your preferences.
After set up and installation is complete, our technicians provide your employees with a comprehensive training session, teaching authorized users on how to operate and monitor your new system. We’ll demonstrate how to access and control cameras, set up alerts, review footage, and perform basic functions to ensure you’re completely comfortable with your property’s security.
Video Surveillance Points To Consider
- Camera Type: Certain look? Should the cameras to be used as a visual deterrent or just hidden?
- Field of View: How large of a view or area do you need to capture or monitor? Do you need to see a license plate in a parking lot or the driver’s actual face?
- Resolution of the Cameras: As above do you need to see actual faces? The higher the resolution or images means higher quality cameras and more storage space will be needed. The higher resolution cameras are more pixels so the CCTV devices will need more bandwidth and larger storage devices.
- Lighting: Typically most clients are purchasing Day and Night cameras. However angles during the day or night may not be the best. Talk to us and gain our experience in various lighting situations.
