A small New York storefront at night, roll-down gate two-thirds closed, a dome camera above the door.

Cameras your insurer accepts. Doors you control from your phone.

Storefronts, restaurants, offices and small buildings. We install what a claim, a lease or a walk-out actually needs, and we keep it running after hours.

Every business has the same five weak points.

We walk them in this order, from the street to the office, and price each one on its own.

  • Storefront and gate

    A camera above the door covering the sidewalk and the gate. A gate sensor that tells you if it opened at three in the morning. Shatter sensors on the glass.

    From $2,400 installed

    A corner deli lit up at night on a quiet New York street.
  • Back door and deliveries

    The door that gets propped open. A contact with a prop-open alarm, a camera on the alley, and a keypad so deliveries don't need a key.

    From $1,600 installed

    The back of a building at golden hour: red doors, a roll-down shutter and utility boxes.
  • Stockroom and cash

    A camera on the safe and the stockroom door, and an access log showing who opened it and when.

    From $1,200 installed

    Shelves of stock in a dim back room lit by a single strip light.
  • Office and staff access

    Fobs or phone credentials instead of keys. When someone leaves, revoke theirs in seconds. No locksmith, no rekeying.

    From $3,600 for two doors

    A black access reader on a concrete wall, a dark door beyond it.
  • After hours

    Arm on a schedule. When a sensor trips, a clip goes to you and to the monitoring centre so the response is to a verified event, not a false-alarm fine.

    From $34.99 a month, optional

Retention, exports and logs, set to what your policy asks for.

We set video retention to 30, 60 or 90 days to match your insurer or your lease, and we export footage timestamped in a format the NYPD and your insurer accept. Access logs are kept for a year.

A recent business

Restaurant, sixty covers, Astoria, Queens

  • Twelve cameras, front of house to walk-in
  • Gate sensor and back-door prop alarm
  • Three-door access control for staff
  • Sixty-day retention to match the policy
We had a walk-out and the claim went through in a week because the footage was clean and timestamped. The old system would have shown us a grey blur.
