Low Voltage/DVR Services

Low voltage and surveillance, installed once and built to last.SimplyRem designs and installs low voltage cabling, CCTV and DVR/NVR surveillance systems, access control, and structured wiring for offices, retail, warehouses, and multi-site businesses. Cameras that actually capture usable footage, cabling that passes certification, and systems that still work in five years because they were planned, labelled, and documented properly. Every job is led by a senior low voltage technician — not a day-rate crew running cable they will never have to support. No rats-nest closets. No cameras pointed at the parking lot ceiling.What we install

• CCTV & video surveillance — IP camera systems with NVR or DVR recording, remote viewing, and the camera placement, lensing, and lighting that actually produce footage you can use in an incident.
• DVR / NVR systems — recorder selection, storage sizing for your retention requirements, RAID redundancy, and secure remote access that will not become your next breach.
• Structured cabling — CAT6, CAT6A, and fiber optic data cabling, certified and tested, with clean labelled terminations and a documented cable map.
• Access control — key-card, fob, mobile, and biometric door access, with audit logging, scheduling, and integration to your alarm and video systems.
• Network infrastructure cabling — server rooms, IDF/MDF closets, patch panels, PoE switching, and the backbone that everything else rides on.
• Wi-Fi cabling & access point installation — proper AP placement and cabling for reliable coverage across offices, warehouses, and outdoor areas.
• Audio/visual & paging — conference rooms, digital signage, intercom, and overhead paging cabled and commissioned to work the first time.
• Multi-site & new-construction projects — design-build from blueprints, coordinated with general contractors, delivered to spec and on schedule.

Why businesses choose our low voltage & DVR services

• Senior technicians, not a day-rate crew. The person designing your system installs it and stands behind it. Workmanship you do not have to redo in two years.
• Footage you can actually use. Most CCTV disappoints because of bad placement, wrong lenses, or poor lighting — not bad cameras. We design for usable footage at the angles and distances that matter.
• Certified, documented cabling. Every run is tested, certified, labelled, and mapped. When something needs work later, your team (or ours) is not guessing in a closet.
• Secure by design. DVR/NVR and IP cameras are a notorious breach vector. We segment them onto their own VLAN, change default credentials, and lock down remote access — security cameras that do not become a security hole.
• Vendor-agnostic. Hikvision, Axis, Ubiquiti, Avigilon, Verkada — we recommend by fit and budget, not by distributor margin. No box-shifting.
• One team for the whole stack. Cabling, cameras, access control, and the network behind them — designed together so they actually work together, backed by our networking practice.
• Stay-on support. Most clients keep us on for maintenance, additions, footage retrieval help, and the occasional camera that needs a senior hand.

DVR or NVR, analog or IP — what should you choose?We are agnostic, and we will tell you honestly. NVR with IP cameras is the right call for almost every new install — higher resolution, single-cable PoE, smart analytics, and easy expansion. DVR with analog/HD-over-coax cameras is the right call when you are extending or reusing existing coax runs and want to upgrade cameras without re-cabling the whole building. Hybrid recorders bridge the two when you are migrating a large site in phases. Most new projects we design are IP/NVR; most upgrades to an existing analog site we keep on coax with HD cameras to save you a re-wire. We will tell you which actually saves money for your building.Our installation process1. Site survey & design (1–3 days)We walk the site, identify coverage gaps and cable paths, check sightlines and lighting for cameras, and design the system on the floor plan. You receive a written proposal with camera placement, a bill of materials, and a fixed quote — no vague "depends on what we find" pricing.2. Cabling & rough-inCable pulled cleanly, terminated to standard, labelled, and tested. In new construction we coordinate with the GC and other trades so rough-in happens at the right phase, not after the drywall is up.3. Device install & configurationCameras mounted and aimed, recorders and access control configured, network segmented and secured, remote access set up properly. Every camera angle reviewed on screen and adjusted — not just bolted to the wall and left.4. Testing, certification & walkthroughCable certification reports, a recorded test of every camera and door, retention verified against your requirements, and a walkthrough where we hand over logins, the cable map, and a one-page operations guide.5. Support & maintenanceMost clients keep us on for periodic maintenance, camera additions as the business grows, footage-retrieval assistance, and firmware updates that keep the system secure. We built it; we keep it working.The equipment & standards we work with

• Cabling: CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A, fiber optic (single and multimode), coax for HD-over-coax, terminated and certified to TIA/EIA standards.
• Cameras: Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Avigilon, Verkada, Ubiquiti UniFi Protect — dome, bullet, turret, PTZ, and specialty (LPR, thermal).
• Recording: NVR, DVR, and hybrid recorders; RAID and redundant storage; cloud and on-prem retention.
• Access control: key-card and fob systems, mobile credentials, biometric readers, and cloud-managed door control.
• Network: PoE and PoE+ switching, managed switches, VLAN segmentation for camera and IoT isolation.
• Wireless & AV: Wi-Fi access points, digital signage, intercom, and overhead paging.

Who we work withOur low voltage and DVR clients are typically offices and corporate campuses, retail and restaurants, warehouses and distribution centres, property managers and multi-tenant buildings, and businesses opening a new location that needs cabling, cameras, and access control done right from day one. We do our best work when the brief is concrete — a floor plan, a coverage requirement, an opening date — and the people on the other side care about a system that lasts as much as we do.Engagement models & pricing

• Camera / DVR installation — from $2.5k for a small system; scaled by camera count, recorder, and cabling distance. Survey, install, configuration, and walkthrough included.
• Structured cabling project — priced per drop, typically $150–$300 per certified run depending on distance and difficulty.
• Access control installation — from $1.5k per door including reader, controller, and configuration.
• Design-build / new construction — fixed-bid from blueprints, coordinated with your GC.
• Maintenance & support — annual agreement or on-call, covering service, additions, and footage assistance.
