Protecting Lexington businesses, manufacturers, nonprofits, and churches with IT-managed surveillance systems — designed, installed, and supported by your local technology team.
Most security companies install cameras and leave. We're a local Managed Service Provider — your cameras are part of your IT infrastructure, not an afterthought bolted to the side of your building.
That means proper network segmentation, firmware updates, credential management, and cybersecurity best practices from day one. Your cameras won't become a backdoor into your business — something most camera-only installers never think about.
Cameras properly segmented and secured on your network — no shortcuts.
View from any phone or computer. We configure it right the first time.
Real people, real fast. No national call center — we're Central Kentucky.
You own your system. No mandatory monitoring contracts. Ever.
4 cameras today, 32 cameras tomorrow. We build systems that grow.
Same-day or next-day support for system issues in most cases.
Different locations demand different cameras. We help you match the right equipment to each coverage area — no over-engineering, no guesswork.
Ideal for indoor spaces — lobbies, hallways, retail floors. Wide field of view, tamper-resistant, and low-profile for any interior environment.
Indoor / OutdoorBuilt for outdoor long-range coverage. Weatherproof, highly visible for deterrence — perfect for parking lots, building perimeters, and loading docks.
Outdoor / PerimeterPan, Tilt, Zoom — covers vast areas with one camera. Ideal for warehouses, parking lots, and large commercial properties needing dynamic tracking.
Wide Area CoverageCrystal-clear detail for license plate capture, facial recognition at entry points, or monitoring cash registers. Deployed where detail counts most.
High Detail / 4KClear footage in total darkness with infrared illumination. Most incidents happen after hours — we make sure you capture everything clearly, all night long.
Low Light / NightIK10-rated impact-proof housing for high-risk or high-traffic areas. Used in parking structures, entryways, and anywhere tampering is a real concern.
Impact Rated / IK10Production floors, loading docks, storage yards, and equipment areas all have unique surveillance needs. We deploy ruggedized cameras built for harsh environments, PTZ systems for wide-area coverage, and NVR storage with extended retention to keep your facility accountable and protected around the clock.
Protect your staff, volunteers, congregation, and guests without breaking your budget. We design cost-effective systems covering entry points, parking lots, sanctuaries, offices, and common areas — with a sensitivity to the unique environment of faith and community organizations.
From small storefronts to multi-suite office buildings, we design systems that fit your space and your budget. We handle everything — site assessment, cable runs, camera mounting, NVR setup, and mobile access — with minimal disruption to your business operations.
Modern PoE systems use a single Cat6 cable to deliver both power and video to each camera — cleaner installations, better performance, and seamless integration with your existing IT network. This is what we install by default for most commercial deployments.
A camera is only as useful as the system recording it. We install and size Network Video Recorders to match your camera count and retention requirements. Most clients want 2–4 weeks of footage — we design storage that meets that goal with room to scale up.
Older analog system blurry or failing? We evaluate your existing setup and provide an honest upgrade path — whether that's replacing cameras, migrating to a full IP system, or expanding coverage. We never recommend more than you actually need.
Every industry has unique risks, layout challenges, and compliance needs. We know the difference — and we design accordingly.
