What Is the Best Security Camera System?
Why It's Important to Invest in a High-Quality System
With the growing popularity of Ring cameras and other off-the-shelf security camera systems, many clients ask us if there's still a need for a professional installation. And though we love a viral Ring camera video as much as the next person, we still try to dissuade clients from going the DIY approach for security. Their family's safety is too important to delegate to systems with limited features and reliability.
So, in what ways are these DIY security cameras different from their professional counterparts? We outline those differences in this blog, from the durability of the equipment to the amount of surveillance features included with your cameras.

Professional-Grade Equipment
Let's focus on the most important part first. What good are your security cameras if they stop working? We partner with IC Realtime, which only makes its cameras available to certified dealers to guarantee proper installation. These cameras are built to last, and the company puts its money behind that promise with 5-7-year warranties available for all its products. Their cameras are IP-67 rated, meaning they're resistant to dust and water, so you don't have to worry about a storm taking out your equipment. Plus, we include 24/7 maintenance on all our installations. Our technicians are immediately notified if a camera is down and can usually reboot before there is any considerable downtime that could put your family at risk.
Advanced Surveillance Features
Cameras from IC Realtime also offer greater surveillance footage and management. The cameras deliver 4MP resolution and wide dynamic range for clear color footage even in bright and low-light conditions. Some cameras include laser illuminators extending their night vision to 1500 feet. They use sophisticated motion detection algorithms to reduce the amount of false alarms and to ensure cameras record when needed. If you need specific footage after an event, their ella-AI search engine lets you search based on particular objects, colors, or animals to pinpoint the clips you need.
Customization and Integration
We tailor our professional security camera systems to your family and property needs. IC Realtime's diverse camera lineup includes:
- Bullet and dome cameras.
- PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) models.
- Fixed lens cameras designed for different surveillance needs.
This range allows for customized installations, where we select cameras based on the specific requirements of each location on your property. For instance, PTZ cameras are ideal for covering large outdoor areas due to their wide range and zoom capabilities, while fixed dome cameras are suited for discrete indoor monitoring.
IC Realtime integrates seamlessly with home automation systems, so you can view footage from the same place you pull up music or adjust the thermostat. You can even create automated triggers for your surveillance cameras. For example, have lights automatically turn on when a camera records for better video quality.
