CCTV & Video Surveillance

A camera system is only as good as its placement, its wiring, and the contractor who installs it. Metal Gear LLC designs and installs commercial CCTV systems that give you real coverage of your property, not blind spots and guesswork.

Most camera systems fail for boring reasons. Cameras aimed at the wrong angle, a recorder with no storage headroom, night footage that turns to noise the moment it matters, or wiring run by someone who never expected to come back and service it. The cameras are rarely the problem. The plan behind them is.

We start from the coverage you actually need and work backward. That means walking the property, identifying the entry points and sight lines that matter to your operation, then specifying camera placement, cable routes, and recording capacity to match. The result is a system you can pull usable footage from, not a row of cameras that exist to look like security.

Scope of Work

  • System design and camera placement for commercial properties
  • New CCTV installations and expansions of existing systems
  • Troubleshooting and service for underperforming camera systems
  • Clean, code-compliant low voltage wiring behind every camera

Where This Applies

How The Work Runs

  1. Site walk

    We walk the property with you and note entry points, problem areas, and what you need to be able to see. Existing infrastructure gets inspected before anything is quoted.

  2. System design

    Camera types, placement, cable routing, and recording capacity get specified against your coverage requirements and the constraints of the building.

  3. Installation

    Cameras mounted, cable run and terminated to code, recorder configured and tested. Runs are labeled so the next service call does not start with guesswork.

  4. Handover

    We verify every camera view with you, confirm recording and retention, and show you how to pull footage when you need it.

Common Questions

Can you service or expand a camera system I already have?

Yes. We work on existing systems as often as we install new ones, whether that means adding cameras, replacing failed units, or diagnosing a system that quietly stopped recording. We inspect what is in place first and tell you straight whether it is worth building on.

How many cameras does my building need?

It depends on your entry points, sight lines, and what you need to prove after the fact. Coverage comes from placement, not count. A site walk gives you an honest answer instead of a guess.

Do you handle the cabling too?

Yes. Every camera we install is backed by low voltage cabling run under our C-7 license, terminated properly, and labeled. The wiring does not get handed off to someone else.
