Each camera you plan needs power and a signal at the spot where it hangs.
For home security cameras, we install the circuits, breakers, and outlets, and run the Cat6 cable, including power over Ethernet (PoE) runs that carry power and video on one cable.

Powering home cameras
Power and Signal for Each Camera
PoE cameras
A PoE camera draws power and transmits video over a single Cat6 cable, running back to a PoE switch or a network video recorder. One cable per camera, and no outlet at the camera. An Ethernet run can reach up to 328 feet (100 meters), well beyond the distances in a house.
Plug-in and Wi-Fi cameras
Wireless cameras still need power: either a rechargeable battery or an outlet nearby. An outdoor outlet goes in with GFCI protection and a weatherproof in-use cover.
Where the recorder sits
A recorder or PoE switch needs an outlet and a spot out of the heat and damp. A closet or an air-conditioned utility space suits it. If you want the equipment on a circuit of its own, we add one.
Through the eaves
Runs go through the attic and come out at the soffit or eave near each camera, sealed where they pass through, so the cable stays out of the sun and out of reach.
Floodlight cameras, doorbells, and Wi-Fi
A floodlight camera is wired for outdoor lighting, a video doorbell runs from the doorbell transformer, and Wi-Fi cameras depend on a strong signal where they are installed.

Estimates
Estimates for Camera Cabling
We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.
We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
Sizing up the job
03- The number of camera locations.
- The route and distance from each camera to the recorder.
- Outdoor outlets or a new circuit, if the plan needs them.
