Solutions / Video Surveillance
Video surveillance that gives your team usable visibility.
We design commercial camera systems with the right coverage, recording, and network foundation, so your team can review events and view important areas when it matters.

The operational problem
Cameras are only useful if the footage is.
Common problems are cameras aimed at the wrong place, footage that is overwritten before it is needed, and systems that only one person knows how to operate.
A sound video system starts with what the organization needs to see and how long it needs to keep it, then works backward to cameras, storage, and network capacity.
Common pressures
Blind spots at entrances, parking areas, and shared spaces
Retention that does not match policy or investigation needs
Analog or aging cameras with poor image quality
No simple way for authorized staff to view video remotely
Capabilities and services
What a surveillance system includes.
Each element is sized to the facility, not to a generic package.
Camera selection and placement
Fixed, dome, multi-sensor, and PTZ cameras chosen by field of view, lighting, and mounting conditions.
Recording and storage
Network video recorders or server-based storage sized for camera count, resolution, and retention requirements.
Video management software
Centralized live viewing, playback, search, and user permissions.
Analytics where applicable
Motion and detection analytics supported by the selected cameras or software, scoped to a defined need.
Remote viewing
Secure access for authorized users from approved devices, configured with your IT requirements.
Modernization
Upgrading legacy systems, with reuse of existing cabling where it is suitable.
Building system integration
Video becomes more valuable when connected.
Connections to other systems shorten the time between an event and an answer.
Access control
Pull up the camera view tied to a door event.
Intercom and entry points
Confirm who is at an entrance before granting access.
Network infrastructure
PoE switching and bandwidth planning keep cameras online and recording.
Command and monitoring environments
Feed video into larger monitoring platforms, including RTCC-style workflows.
Commercial applications
Where commercial video is applied.
Priorities differ by environment.
Schools and campuses
Entrances, hallways, and exterior areas with review capability for administrators.
Healthcare
Entrances, parking, and non-clinical areas, planned with privacy considerations.
Commercial properties
Lobbies, garages, loading areas, and property perimeters.
Municipal and government
Facilities, public-facing areas, and shared infrastructure.
Industrial and warehouse
Yards, docks, and large interior spaces.
The FM Tech approach
Coverage first, hardware second.
We start with the objectives for each area.
Assess
Review the site, existing cameras, lighting, and what each area needs to capture.
Design
Define camera locations, storage and retention, and network requirements.
Integrate
Install, aim, and commission cameras and recording, then connect related systems.
Support
Train users, document the system, and provide a path for service.

FAQ
Useful answers for your next conversation.
How long can video be stored?
Retention depends on the number of cameras, resolution, frame rate, and storage capacity. We size storage to your required retention period during design.
Can we view cameras remotely?
Yes, remote viewing can be configured for authorized users. We coordinate with your IT team on secure access.
Can you reuse existing cameras or cabling?
Sometimes. During assessment we evaluate existing cameras and cabling and recommend reuse only when it will perform reliably.
Do you provide video analytics?
Where the selected cameras or software support them, analytics can be scoped for a defined need. We explain what they can and cannot do before adding them.
