When budgeting for video surveillance cameras, there are multiple factors to consider that affect cost beyond the camera itself. It’s important to also know the cost of installation, and the cost to service or upgrade a unit in the future. While configuring a small number of cameras will likely have little impact on cost, the labor involved in installing and servicing hundreds of cameras can be significant. A modular approach to camera design is necessary to reduce the installation costs and long-term maintenance of such cameras.

In the search to provide better security for their physical workplace, employees, customers, and equipment; business owners are constantly on the lookout for the latest options in the world of security cameras. With a high resolution of 3840×2160, 4K security cameras provide an amazing amount of detail, while providing superior monitoring of a wide area.

While the primary focus of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) is protecting Ohio’s workers and advocating for them when they’ve been injured on the job, the BWC also understands that safety and security are equally important in preventing injuries in Ohio’s schools. With the goal of reducing and eliminating injuries and illnesses that are commonly associated with providing childhood educational services, the BWC’s School Safety and Security Grant (SSSG) Program allows operating licensed Ohio schools from the grade of preschool through 12th grade access to financial assistance to ensure the safety of their staff and students through the purchase of equipment to improve the security of the facility. Read on to learn more about the SSSG Program and how it can help you create a more secure and safe working and learning environment for teachers and students.
Through the SSG Program, Ohio schools may receive up to $40,000 for the duration of the program to purchase equipment that boosts the overall safety and security of the school facility, employee safety inventions, or incident response equipment. Equipment purchases are a 3-1 matching grant, meaning that the grant can be used to fund 75% of your school’s purchase, with the other 25% coming from the district, other grant sources, or donations. For a complete list of the eligibility requirements and the School Safety and Security Grant application, check out the complete SSSG Program Policy.
One of the chief concerns for all schools is the overall security of their facility. While SSSG Program funds provide for other equipment and interventions as well, one of the most popular use of the funds is for the improvement of school building safety and security.
Security cameras are one of the most common ways that schools seek to provide greater overall safety to students and staff. Security cameras allow staff to know who is entering or leaving the building, where individuals are in the building at any given time, and aid in evacuations in the case of emergencies.
SSSG Program funds can also be used to establish secure keycard entry systems. These kinds of access control features can easily be integrated into your school security camera system, triggering cameras to record anytime that an individual is using the access control panel – whether they successfully or unsuccessfully gained access to the facility. This allows you to know which teachers and staff are in what areas of the facility as well as alerting your team to any unauthorized individuals who may try to obtain access to your school.
Early and frequent response to bullying behavior is one of the best ways to stop bullying. School security cameras can help teachers and administrators respond to and prevent bullying in real-time when cameras are actively monitored, reducing the rate and length of bullying incidents. Check out Preventing School Bullying Year Round to learn more about how security cameras can help you combat bullying in your school district.
Students aren’t the only victims of bullying in schools. Teachers are often injured when trying to intervene in bullying or school fight situations and need time off work to recover both physically and emotionally. Younger teachers, custodial staff, and other non-teaching and non-administrative staff are often the target of unwanted comments, actions, and even bullying behavior from students. Monitored school security cameras can help administrators respond to these events in real time and make sure that bullies know that they can’t hide from the consequences of their actions.
Incidents of violence in schools are increasing. From the number of physical altercations between students to school shootings, the evidence for the need for increased security and safety in schools has never been greater. School security cameras may not be able to prevent all violence in a school building, but it can help teachers and staff spot the warning signs, respond faster, and save more lives.
Mass shootings in schools are a fact of life in America – a terrifying reality for our nation’s youth and their educators. When used in conjunction with other safety measures like access control, locking all doors from outside entry, and metal detectors, school security cameras that are actively monitored can be an effective early warning system for potential threats to your students and staff. Not to mention, schools are given the opportunity to give law enforcement officers access to their surveillance systems in order to respond quicker and more effectively in a lock-down situation.
Our nationwide network of technicians coordinates with our home office in southwest Ohio to provide security camera installation for schools in all 50 states.

A high-quality security camera system is only as good as your ability to access and view your footage. Instead of being stuck watching a camera feed with nothing happening, our remote access options allow you to view your cameras on-demand. While saving footage of any incident that takes place on your premises is important, being able to monitor your business from anywhere is the key to unlocking the real value of your security camera system. Read on to learn more about the value of remote access for your business.
All of our cameras are equipped with an app that allows your cameras to be viewed remotely at no additional charge or recurring fees. As long as your security camera system is connected to the internet, you can view your camera’s feed anytime from anywhere.
If you don’t have staff on site to monitor your system’s feed 24/7, you need remote viewing options to help you know what’s happening when you are not on the premises. While other security camera companies may try to play a bait and switch game by charging you a fee to view your cameras remotely or to store and retrieve footage later, we offer transparent, hassle-free access to your system. When you purchase one of our systems, you own it outright and have unrestricted access to your equipment and your video for life.
Our remote viewing apps are compatible with most PCs, smartphones, and tablets, including those running iOS, Android and Windows-based operating systems. Our intuitive apps are user-friendly and simple to use – even for the most technically challenged business owners.
After installing your system, we provide a brief training session to make sure that you are ready to use your remote viewing app. While we’re confident that you will have no trouble using your app, we are always here to answer your questions if you have any questions or need additional assistance.
Even if you have 24/7 security staff monitoring your system, no one can watch all of your cameras constantly. That’s why our system can be customized to alert you whenever motion is detected by a camera on your premises.
Your smart alerts can be sent via email or text, including a picture from the camera that detected the motion. These smart alerts allow you to always have an eye on your business without having to spend hours watching nothing happen.

Your business’ surveillance camera system is one of your most valuable security assets. When your system isn’t working properly, like when your security camera’s feed is flickering at night, finding the cause and fixing it quickly is important to protecting your workplace, equipment, and employee safety. Understanding the root cause of your security camera’s nighttime issues can help guide you to the right solution to your feed issues. Here are just a few of the common issues that can cause your security camera image to flicker at night.
Like most equipment, loss of power or not getting enough power can cause performance issues for your security camera system. If you’re experiencing flickering images when reviewing your camera’s feed at night, your first check should be your power source.
Security cameras use infrared lights to allow the cameras to capture images in low light conditions. If your cameras have a low battery, the infrared lights may not be getting enough power to operate properly. You should also check your power input to be sure that your system is on a dedicated power supply and not using a power splitter, which can lessen the amount of power being delivered to your cameras. Our technicians can help identify if your system is on a dedicated power supply and run new power to your cameras if not.
Proper lighting is a key component of a camera’s ability to capture a consistent image. At night, headlights and flashlights are more likely to be able to wreak havoc on your security camera system’s ability to produce a clear image.
Since nighttime cameras use infrared technology to produce high-resolution images in low light conditions, the interruption of headlights can sometimes cause flickering as the camera automatically adjusts from infrared to normal light to produce the image. Review your security camera footage to identify the times when your security cameras flicker most. If changing lighting conditions are the cause of your image flicker issues, adjusting the angle of your cameras or repositioning them to areas that are less directly exposed to oncoming headlights is a relatively quick and inexpensive solution. Read Why is My Security Footage Low Quality for more tips on improving your camera’s images.
If your outdoor security cameras are flickering at night, the problem may rest on damaged connections or cables. Damaged equipment can cause power issues and data transmission issues that lead to subpar image quality.
Check all of the connections running to your cameras for loose wires or wires that have been exposed to the elements. Exposed wires and cables quickly become corroded or otherwise damaged. We recommend that all outdoor connections be properly installed inside a weatherproof box to prevent damage from the elements. Any damaged connections or cable should be immediately replaced and a weatherproof box should be installed to prevent further damage to your security camera system.
Let’s be honest. The older your security camera equipment is, the more likely it is to experience issues. If you’re experience issues with a brand new system, you may have bought defective equipment.
All security camera systems have a limited lifespan and, if yours has reached the end of the line, there’s very little you can do except replace it. If you’ve verified that cameras are getting enough power and the cables and connections aren’t damaged, it’s likely to start shopping for new cameras, a replacement switch, or a new video recorder. If you have a spare camera in your inventory that is working properly, you can use it to help confirm your diagnosis before purchasing a new system.

If your new system isn’t working, you should contact the manufacturer or installer for technical support and obtain return instructions. Nearly all manufacturer’s offer a warranty that covers faulty equipment that includes refunding your purchase price or providing replacement equipment within a set period of time.
