What’s Included

A Complete Security Camera Installation — From Planning to Handoff

Every installation SetupTeam delivers in Toronto and across the GTA follows the same infrastructure-first standard. Coverage is planned before a single cable is run. Cabling is concealed and terminated cleanly. The NVR is configured, remote access is tested, and the system is handed over with documentation — not left for the client to figure out.

01

Coverage Zone Planning

Sightline assessment of every entry point, blind spot, and high-traffic zone before placement decisions are made. Camera positions are mapped against your property layout — no guesswork.

02

Cat6 Low-Voltage Cabling

Power over Ethernet runs concealed through walls, ceilings, and attic spaces where accessible. Cable entry points sealed and finished. No surface conduit unless structurally required.

03

Camera Mounting & Sightline Set

Each camera is mounted at the correct height and angle for maximum coverage. Bracket selection accounts for surface type — soffit, brick, drywall, or concrete — with a clean, finished result.

04

NVR Setup & Storage Configuration

Network Video Recorder installed, channels mapped, retention schedule configured. Storage is sized and set to your requirements — not left at factory defaults.

05

Remote Access & Mobile Setup

Remote viewing configured and tested on your devices before we leave. Motion alerts set. You leave with a working system — not a manual and a list of steps to complete yourself.

06

System Handoff & Documentation

Walk-through of every camera, zone, and setting before the technician leaves. System access credentials documented and handed over. No loose ends.

New Installation

Full System Design for Any GTA Property

Starting from scratch means doing it right. SetupTeam designs each new system around the specific layout of the property — not a generic camera count. Coverage zones are planned, cabling is routed cleanly, the NVR is placed and configured, and remote access is verified before handoff. Every new installation is delivered as a complete, documented project.

What a new installation includes

  • On-site coverage zone planning — sightlines assessed before any cabling begins
  • Cat6 PoE runs concealed through walls, ceilings, and attic spaces
  • Camera mounting at correct height and angle per coverage plan
  • NVR placement, channel mapping, and retention schedule configuration
  • Remote access configured and tested on client devices before departure
  • Full system walk-through and documentation handoff

Suited for

  • New construction and pre-wire projects across the GTA
  • Detached and semi-detached homes adding coverage for the first time
  • Condo suites and common areas requiring concealed low-voltage runs
  • Commercial and retail properties building full surveillance infrastructure from scratch

Upgrade & Expansion

Extend or Improve an Existing System

Many properties across the GTA have an existing system that is under-performing — cameras in the wrong positions, an NVR running out of capacity, or cabling that was never properly terminated. SetupTeam assesses what’s in place and improves it: adding cameras to existing NVR capacity, replacing outdated recorders, reconfiguring coverage zones, or improving cabling quality throughout.

Add Cameras

Expand coverage to previously unmonitored zones — side entrances, garage, rear yard, or additional interior areas — using existing NVR channel capacity where available.

Replace the Recorder

Outdated DVR or undersized NVR replaced with a properly sized, configured unit. Existing cameras re-terminated and verified. Storage retention reset to match actual needs.

Reconfigure Coverage Zones

Camera positions, angles, and motion alert zones reviewed and adjusted. Existing blind spots addressed without a full reinstall where infrastructure permits.

Improve Cabling Quality

Surface-run or poorly terminated cabling re-routed and properly finished. Resolves intermittent dropouts, signal issues, and cosmetic problems from prior installations.

How It Works

Plan, Wire, Install, Configure

Every SetupTeam security camera installation follows a consistent four-step sequence — from the first site assessment through to remote access verification and handoff. No shortcuts, no skipped steps.

01

Plan

On-site walkthrough to assess sightlines, entry points, and structural routing options. Coverage plan confirmed before any work begins.

02

Wire

Cat6 PoE cabling routed and concealed through walls, ceilings, or attic spaces. All runs terminated cleanly and tested before cameras are mounted.

03

Install

Cameras mounted at planned positions and angles. NVR installed and positioned. All hardware secured and finished to a clean standard.

04

Configure

NVR channels mapped, storage configured, motion detection set, and remote access verified on client devices. Full walk-through and documentation before departure.

Property Types

Every Toronto Property Type — Covered

The GTA spans a wide range of property types and installation environments. SetupTeam works across all of them — from condo suites to commercial corridors — with an approach tailored to the structural realities of each.

Residential

Condo & High-Rise

Concealed low-voltage runs through suite walls and ceilings without access to cavities. Camera placement coordinated around building management requirements. Clean finish throughout.

Residential

Semi-Detached & Detached

Exterior camera placement at eaves, soffits, and entry points with cabling routed through attic or wall cavity. Full perimeter coverage planned per property layout.

Commercial

Retail & Office

Commercial-grade camera placement covering entrances, parking, and interior zones. NVR sized for multi-camera retention requirements. Installations completed with minimal disruption to operations. See our commercial TV and AV installation services.

Mixed Use

Multi-Unit & Mixed-Use

Surveillance planning across shared and private zones. Camera placement accounts for tenant privacy requirements and common area coverage. NVR access managed per ownership structure.

Camera Types

The Right Camera for Every Position

Camera selection is driven by placement requirements, not personal preference. SetupTeam selects and installs the appropriate camera type for each position in the coverage plan — outdoor fixed, wide-angle, doorbell, or commercial-grade — based on sightline, environment, and retention requirements. Smart home and Control4 smart home integration available where required.

Fixed Outdoor Bullet & Dome

The standard for exterior perimeter coverage. Mounted at eaves, soffits, and entry points. Weatherproof, PoE-powered, and positioned for maximum deterrence and coverage angle.

Wide-Angle & Panoramic

Used where a single camera needs to cover a broad interior zone — lobby, open floor plan, or parking area. Reduces total camera count without sacrificing coverage quality.

Doorbell & Entry Cameras

Purpose-built for front door and entry coverage. Integrates with smart home systems where applicable. Wired PoE preferred over battery-dependent wireless for reliability.

Commercial-Grade PTZ & Multi-Sensor

For large commercial properties, parking structures, and multi-entrance buildings. Pan-tilt-zoom or multi-sensor units provide broad coverage with a single installation point.

FAQ

Common Questions About Security Camera Installation

A professional installation covers the full project: on-site coverage zone planning, Cat6 PoE cabling concealed through walls and ceilings, camera mounting at planned positions, NVR setup and storage configuration, remote access verification on your devices, and a complete system walk-through and documentation handoff before the technician leaves.
Wired PoE is the recommended standard for permanent installations. It provides a stable, uninterrupted connection, eliminates battery dependency, and delivers consistent video quality regardless of Wi-Fi conditions. Wireless cameras are best suited to temporary setups or locations where running cable is structurally impractical. See how network installation supports a reliable PoE infrastructure.
In condo suites, Cat6 cable is routed through wall cavities, above drop ceilings, or along baseboards where no cavity access exists. Entry and exit points are sealed and finished cleanly. Camera placement is coordinated around suite layout and any building management requirements. The result is a clean installation with no visible surface conduit.
Yes. IP security cameras can be integrated into smart home and automation platforms where the camera system supports it. SetupTeam handles Control4 smart home integration alongside camera installations — covering camera feeds on touchscreens, automated lighting responses to motion events, and unified remote access through a single interface.
A new installation starts from scratch — coverage planning, full cabling, NVR, cameras, and configuration. A system upgrade improves or expands an existing setup: adding cameras to available NVR channels, replacing an outdated recorder, reconfiguring coverage zones, or re-terminating poor-quality cabling. SetupTeam assesses your existing infrastructure before recommending which scope applies.
Accurate quotes require a site assessment — camera count, NVR size, cabling routes, and storage requirements all vary by property. Use the contact form to describe your property and coverage goals and SetupTeam will follow up to arrange an assessment. For properties with existing systems, photos or a brief description of current equipment help scope the work before the visit.
Camera count depends on the number of entry points, blind spots, and coverage zones that need to be addressed — not a fixed number per property size. A detached home typically requires four to eight cameras for full perimeter coverage. Commercial properties vary significantly based on layout and zone requirements. Coverage planning determines the right number before any equipment is purchased.
Most residential installations — four to eight cameras with concealed cabling — are completed in a single day. Larger commercial installations or properties with complex cabling routes may require two days. Upgrade and expansion work on an existing system is typically faster. Timeline is confirmed during the site assessment once cabling routes and camera positions are known.
Yes. SetupTeam assesses and services existing systems — diagnosing camera dropouts, NVR issues, poor cabling terminations, and remote access failures. Where the existing system is worth retaining, it is repaired or expanded. Where replacement is the better option, SetupTeam provides a clear assessment before recommending a new installation scope.
Yes. SetupTeam carries $2,000,000 in liability insurance and full WSIB coverage on every job. All installations are performed by SetupTeam technicians — bonded and insured throughout the GTA. Proof of insurance and WSIB clearance is available on request for commercial and property management clients.
