Auxe has partnered with preferred vendors based on user experience, system functionality, overall quality, and price.

Wi-Fi camera installations cost $99.50, including app setup and configuration. Should extra cabling be required, this is billed at $85/hour. CCTV installations vary primarily based on the time required to run each cable from the recorder to the camera. Below is an estimate based on prior installations of CCTV systems at residential homes.

This depends on how much coverage you want and ultimately boils down to budget and personal preference. Oftentimes, having one device per main entryway is sufficient, however, every property is unique. For example, if your property has a garage with valuable assets inside, you may want to place a camera at your front door, a second at your back door, a third dedicated to the garage exterior, and a fourth monitoring the assets inside your garage.

A CCTV system consists of 3 main parts: (1) the cameras, (2) the recorder, and (3) the cabling. The two main types of CCTV types are an NVR system (network video recorder) and DVR system (digital video recorder).

NVR systems are generally built on newer, more advanced technology and therefore offer higher image and video quality (among other benefits), so we tend to recommend these. If you want to learn more about the technical differences, we recommend you check out this blog.

Below is a diagram of how these different parts interconnect. Still unsure which system is best for you? Contact us and we’d be happy to help!
