Most camera systems fail at the only moment they matter: the footage exists, and it's useless. We design coverage backward from what you'd actually need to hand an investigator — identification at the entry, detection along the line — and mount for the night shot, not the daylight demo, since almost everything worth reviewing happens in the dark.
Hidden Hills is a gated city, and two bodies split the work. The Hidden Hills Community Association controls gate access and guards, perimeter cameras, architectural review and the white 3-rail fencing; the City issues building and grading permits, with Building and Safety run under contract by Transtech. The association's standards say front driveway gates must have the appearance of white 3-rail fencing, so a replacement gate is drawn to that before it goes to the committee.
Hidden Hills camera systems cover the house, the drive, the gate and the outbuildings on wide ranch lots; the cameras at the city's perimeter belong to the association. Runs to a gate or a guest house are long, and the city has warned of longer and more extensive PSPS outages, so the recorder and PoE switch go on battery backup sized to the camera load.
Walked at night as well as daylight, listing what you'd need to prove.
Camera count, position, lens and retention, approved before mounting.
Cabled, mounted and focused at night, every view signed off on screen.
You get the app and layout in writing, and we confirm it's recording.
Scoped to your property, not a flat per-item rate. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.
The association's perimeter cameras and staffed gates cover the city's edge and entrances, and the association itself says Hidden Hills is not a secured community. Your own cameras cover your drive, gate, house and outbuildings, and the recording stays with you.
Only if the recorder and PoE switch are on battery backup, sized to the camera load. The city has warned of longer and more extensive shutoffs, so the backup's run time is stated in the plan. Remote viewing also needs the internet gear on backup.
Fewer than most quotes assume. Coverage follows choke points — entries, drives, walkways — not square footage.
We size storage for 30 days by default, since incidents routinely surface a week or two later.
Yes. Every system includes remote viewing on phone and desktop, set up so it's reachable without exposing the recorder to the open internet.
Name, phone and ZIP. We walk it before we price it.
We protect people, property, and peace.
