Free Home Security Matching · All 50 States Mon–Fri · 9am–7pm ET Not a security company, a free matching service Email Us

Security Help Guide is a free service that connects homeowners with local security companies and installers. We are not a security company, alarm dealer, or monitoring provider, and we do not sell, install, or monitor security systems.

The short answer

Installation means mounting each camera, giving it power, wired, Power-over-Ethernet, or battery, and connecting it to your network or a recorder. A pro plans camera positions, runs and conceals any cabling, sets up the app or NVR, and aims each view. Wireless single-camera jobs are simple; multi-camera wired systems are where a professional earns their fee.
