Surveillance is the camera layer of smart home security: discreet cameras that watch every approach to a Los Angeles residence, record continuously and speak up only when something deserves your attention. Our security camera installation places each one with the architecture and landscape in mind, so it sees everything and is noticed by no one.

What a camera sees, and what it tells you.

The detections that decide what reaches your phone, and what stays quietly on the record.

  1. Person detection

    Tells people from passing shadows, and familiar faces from the unexpected.

  2. Vehicle detection

    Flags an unfamiliar vehicle at the gate before anyone reaches the door.

  3. Package detection

    Notes a delivery left at the door.

  4. Animal detection

    Sets pets and wildlife apart, so they do not raise an alert.

  5. 24/7 recording

    Footage records continuously, ready the moment it is needed.

Every Approach, Watched

A home surveillance installation covers the gate, the drive and each approach to the residence. Coverage is drawn on the plans first, so the approaches overlap and no blind corner is left by the garage or the side gate.

Faces and Plates, Recognized

Facial recognition and license plate recognition tell familiar arrivals from the unexpected, and flag an unfamiliar vehicle well before anyone reaches the door.

Alerts Only When It Matters

Every system in the home is designed with the others in mind. These are a few of the everyday moments where they meet.

Perimeter watch

When a camera or sensor at the edge of the property notices movement after dark, path and facade lighting rise, the cameras record and a notification reaches you, wherever you are. Familiar faces pass without an alert.

Remote assistance

If a camera, the gate or the intercom ever needs attention, members are looked after first, and many requests are put right remotely, with no need to wait for a visit.

What does a surveillance installation include?

Discreet cameras cover the gate, the drive and each approach to the residence, and facial recognition and license plate recognition tell familiar arrivals from the unexpected. Alerts reach only the devices you choose, every camera can be viewed securely from anywhere, and high-definition footage records continuously.

Will a security camera installation spoil the look of the house?

It should not. Each camera is placed with the architecture and landscape in mind, so it sees everything and is noticed by no one. The aim is greater awareness without the residence ever feeling dominated by security equipment.

Will I get an alert every time the gardener or a courier arrives?

No. Facial recognition and license plate recognition tell familiar arrivals from the unexpected, so the system speaks up only when it should. When it does, notice arrives by text, email or push notification, and only on the devices you choose.

Can I see the cameras when I am away?

Yes. Every camera on the property can be viewed securely from anywhere, at any hour, and the moment something unexpected happens a notification reaches you at once.

Do the cameras record all the time, or only when something moves?

They record continuously, in high definition, so the footage is there the moment it is needed rather than only when something happens to trigger a clip.
