FAQ

Questions people usually ask

What camera/NVR brands do you support? +

Hikvision, Dahua/HiWatch, Axis, and UniFi Protect most often — text me the brand and model and I'll confirm.

Can you set up a system someone else mounted? +

Yes — that's common. I start with a diagnostic on the existing setup, then configure NVR settings, remote viewing, and network integration.

Can you fix cameras that went offline? +

Yes — usually a network, PoE, or configuration issue rather than the camera itself. I trace the cause and fix it.

Can I view my cameras remotely on my phone? +

Yes — setting up remote viewing on the manufacturer's app or UniFi Protect is part of the job.

Can you connect new cameras to my existing NVR? +

Yes, if they're already mounted and cabled and the NVR/PoE has capacity.

Can you replace a dead camera? +

Yes — on the existing mount and cable.

How fast can you come out? +

Depends on the issue and current schedule — text me what's going on and your location and I'll confirm timing.
