Commercial Video Surveillance & CCTV Installation in Halifax and Atlantic Canada

Northeastern designs, installs and services commercial video surveillance systems for offices, warehouses, retail stores, multi-unit residential buildings and industrial sites across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI. Our technicians are trained on all major CCTV brands on today’s market, and every system we install can be viewed securely from your phone or desktop — and, if you choose, monitored live by our VisionGuard™ operators.

We’ve installed camera systems for some of the most demanding environments in the region, including a partnership with the RCMP for CCTV installation services and emergency call stations at the Scotia Square Parkade in downtown Halifax.

What’s Included

Every video surveillance project follows the same process, whether it’s four cameras at a single storefront or hundreds across a portfolio:

1. Site assessment and design. We walk your site, identify coverage priorities (entrances, loading docks, cash handling, parking, blind spots) and design camera placement around how your facility actually operates.
2. Supply and installation. IP cameras — fixed, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) and megapixel — network video recorders (NVRs), cabling and network configuration, installed by our own licensed technicians. [CONFIRM: any subcontracting for cabling]
3. Secure remote access. Encrypted IP login so authorized staff can view live and recorded video from anywhere.
4. Training and handover. Your team learns to retrieve footage, export clips for police or insurers, and manage users.
5. Warranty and ongoing service. Manufacturer warranties plus optional maintenance agreements so cameras keep recording when you need them most.

Technology and Brands

We work with proven commercial manufacturers — including Hanwha Vision and the other partners listed on our technology partners page — and select equipment to fit the job rather than a quota. Typical builds include megapixel fixed cameras for identification-grade coverage, PTZ cameras for large yards and parkades, and NVRs sized for your retention requirements.

What a Commercial Camera System Costs

Every honest answer starts with “it depends,” but these are the factors that actually drive price: camera count and resolution, cabling distances and building construction, whether existing infrastructure can be reused, video retention period (storage), and whether you want live monitoring. A small commercial system starts in the low thousands installed; multi-building or analytics-heavy deployments scale from there. We quote fixed prices after a free site visit — no surprises at invoice. [CONFIRM: comfort level publishing a starting price range]

Add Live Monitoring — VisionGuard™

Cameras that only record tell you what happened. VisionGuard™ remote video monitoring adds live operators who see events as they unfold, issue audio warnings, and dispatch mobile response or police — often at a fraction of the cost of an on-site guard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you take over or expand an existing camera system?

Yes. We service and expand systems of all major brands, including systems installed by other companies. We’ll assess what’s reusable before recommending replacements.

Are commercial security cameras legal in Nova Scotia?

Yes, with obligations. Businesses must follow PIPEDA and provincial privacy guidance — cameras should cover your property, with signage, and not areas where people expect privacy. We design compliant systems and advise on signage placement.

How long is footage kept?

Retention is a design choice — most commercial clients keep 30 days. We size storage to your operational and insurance requirements.

Do you serve areas outside Halifax?

Yes — all of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and the wider region, coordinated from our Dartmouth head office.
