What a properly installed
system looks like.
Where each part of the system gets installed on your house.
The cable run
We staple the cable along the attic framing and leave spare cable coiled at each camera.
The camera at the eave
We mount the camera flush to the soffit and level, one cable into the base, and set it lower at the doors so it catches a face.
The recorder, in your closet
The recorder saves everything to its own drive, in your house.
Your phone, anywhere
Live view and clips from anywhere, set up together before we leave.
The whole-home kit, installed and done right.
The kit is half the job. We place the cameras, run the cable, set the angles, draw the detection zones, and set up the app.
Your drive, in your recorder
2 TB drive included. 8 channels, expandable to 16. The footage is on a drive you can hold, in your house.
Pricing
Starting at $39.99 a month.
Here is what moves the estimate up or down.
How many cameras
Every camera is a cable run, a sealed hole, a mount, and a detection zone. Four covers most houses, and we settle the count with you on the walkthrough.
Attic, crawlspace, or neither
An attic or a crawlspace makes the run quick. A slab house with no attic takes longer.
Brick, siding, or stone
Each takes a different hole and a different seal.
Distance to the recorder
A long run costs cable and time. The closet is chosen with you.
A wired doorbell
Goes in where doorbell power is already at the door.
Second story and steep pitches
A second story or a steep pitch takes a taller ladder and more time on the wall.
The walkthrough is free, and the estimate comes from it.

Filing an Incident Report with Durham Police
Durham Police Department's site links a service for filing a police report or printing an existing one, and also references a Police-to-Citizen portal. The portal's own contents could not be independently opened, so what it currently accepts is not confirmed from that page alone.
A 2017 city announcement described specific categories available for online reporting at the time — nonemergency larceny, vandalism, fraud or forgery, and lost property within city limits. That is a historical description of what the city offered then, not a confirmed list of what the current portal accepts today.
Neither a resident camera-registration option nor any registry program turned up on Durham Police Department's public pages, unlike what some neighboring departments run.
Durham's Consolidated Authority Over Residential Electrical Permits
Durham City-County Building & Safety administers building permits, plan review, and inspections for both the city and the county — one consolidated authority rather than a city-only inspections office. Older references to "City-County Inspections" describe the same department under its earlier name.
Wiring a House Built Around 1995
The Durham city profile used here dates the citywide median year built to 1995, an occupied-units figure from the ACS 2020–2024 five-year estimate. A house built in the mid-1990s predates the low-voltage wiring conduit common in construction after 2000, so an exterior camera is usually cabled by fishing a run through an existing wall cavity to the attic, rather than pulling through a chase installed during framing.
That same profile puts Durham's share of housing postdating 2000 at 42.6%, so a large portion of local homes sit on the newer side of that line, with attic and soffit access closer to what current construction provides rather than what a mid-1990s house offers.
Durham's Outdoor Lighting Standard (UDO §7.4)
Durham's Unified Development Ordinance §7.4, Outdoor Lighting, sets standards for nonresidential and multifamily development, including limits at residential boundaries and glare control toward adjacent residences and streets. Whether it extends to a security-camera floodlight on a single detached house is not resolved by the text. Durham's own electronic code cautions about its current/official status.
Ellis Road / Ellis Crossing Growth Corridor
A City-County Planning zoning report identifies Ellis Crossing as a development along the Ellis Road corridor, describing residential growth in that area. The cited report is a historical planning document; it is evidence this corridor was identified for growth, not a claim that the specific construction it describes is still underway today.
Durham questions
Which Durham department handles a residential electrical permit?
Durham City-County Building & Safety administers building permits, plan review, and inspections for both the city and the county — one consolidated authority rather than a separate city-only inspections office.
How do I file a report if a camera catches an incident in Durham?
Durham Police Department's site links a service for filing a police report or printing an existing one, and also references a Police-to-Citizen portal. The department's pages showed no resident camera registration or registry program.
Does Durham have an outdoor lighting rule that affects a security-camera light?
Durham's UDO §7.4 sets outdoor lighting standards, including glare limits toward adjacent residences, but the text is written for nonresidential and multifamily development. Whether it extends to a single detached house is not resolved by the ordinance itself.
Where is Durham's residential growth concentrated near Ellis Road?
A city-county zoning report identifies Ellis Crossing as a development along the Ellis Road corridor, describing residential growth in that area as of the report's date — not a statement that construction is still ongoing today.
