Professional Security Camera Installation in Virginia — Homes & Businesses
Professional Security Camera Installation in Virginia — Homes & Businesses
Whether you need cameras for your home, storefront, warehouse, or construction site, Zaxx Tech Solutions provides professional, DCJS-licensed security camera installation across Virginia.
We don't sell cheap wireless cameras and wish you luck. We install hardwired POE (Power over Ethernet) camera systems with NVR recording, night vision, remote viewing, and professional-grade mounting that lasts.
DCJS License #11-30241 — We're licensed by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services to install security systems. This isn't a side hustle — it's what we do.
Why POE Camera Systems Beat Wireless Every Time
Ring, Arlo, Blink — they're everywhere. They're also the reason most people think security cameras don't work. Here's why we install POE systems instead:
| Wireless (Ring, Arlo) | POE (What We Install) | |
|---|---|---|
| Power source | Battery or plug-in | Single Ethernet cable (power + data) |
| Video quality | 1080p, compressed | 4K, uncompressed |
| Recording | Cloud (monthly fee) | Local NVR (no monthly fee) |
| Reliability | Drops when WiFi is weak | Hardwired, never drops |
| Night vision | Basic IR | Advanced IR, 100+ ft range |
| Latency | 2–5 second delay | Real-time |
| Hackable? | WiFi vulnerabilities | Isolated network, much harder |
| Lifespan | 2–3 years | 7–10+ years |
A POE system costs more upfront but saves you money long-term — no monthly cloud fees, no battery replacements, no frustration.

Based on the survey, we design a system with the right number of cameras, optimal positions, NVR sizing, and cable routing plan.
3. Professional Installation

- Network configured and isolated from your main WiFi

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do security cameras cost?
Residential systems start at $800 for a 2-camera POE setup with NVR. Commercial systems start at $1,500+ depending on camera count and complexity.
Do I need WiFi for POE cameras?
No. POE cameras connect via Ethernet cable directly to the NVR. WiFi is only needed if you want remote viewing on your phone — and even then, the cameras themselves don't use WiFi.
Can I view cameras remotely?
Yes. We set up remote viewing on your phone, tablet, or computer. View live feeds and recorded footage from anywhere with an internet connection.
Do you offer monitoring services?
We focus on camera installation, not monitoring. Your cameras record 24/7 to the local NVR and you can set up motion alerts on your phone. If you need professional monitoring, we can recommend partners.
How long does installation take?
A standard 4-camera residential install takes 4–6 hours. Larger commercial installs may take 1–2 days.
