Security camera installation and maintenance
Monitoring is only as good as the picture. VDS technicians install new systems, maintain the cameras you have and repair the ones that fail, so your coverage is evidence ready when it counts.

Install it, or let us
Most current camera systems are already compatible with VDS—our platform works with approximately 90% of commercial IP cameras using the ONVIF protocol. Before onboarding, our team reviews your existing equipment, camera angles and network readiness so you never pay to replace hardware that still works.
If you want an upgrade or need to close blind spots, VDS technicians can come out and install new hardware for you—or design a custom camera layout that your own team or electrical contractor deploys. And for sites that need immediate coverage before a permanent install is complete, our solar-powered, cellular-connected Rapid Deployment units go live within hours of delivery.
