Why Every St. Louis Home Needs Security Cameras
Security cameras are one of the most worthwhile safety investments a homeowner can make. Here's what a professionally installed system does for your home.
Review Recorded Camera Footage
Depending on the system you choose, recorded video can help you review activity and better understand what happened around your property.
Check In on Your Home Remotely
View compatible security camera feeds from your phone while you are at work, traveling or away from home.
Receive Motion and Activity Alerts
Many residential camera systems can notify you when movement or other activity is detected near your home.
Improve Visibility After Dark
Features such as night vision and low-light recording can help you monitor your property during the evening and overnight.
Support a More Complete Home-Security Setup
Indoor and outdoor cameras can work together to provide better coverage of the areas that matter most to your household.
Security Systems Built Around Your Home
Homeowners have a robust market of security camera options to choose from. We'll help you weigh the most important considerations and configure the right system for your property.
Indoor & Outdoor Cameras
Indoor cameras are discreet and protected from the elements, while outdoor cameras cover more ground and deter crime. We'll help you get the right mix.
Wired & Wireless Systems
Wired systems draw reliable power from your home and resist tampering; wireless systems install cleanly without new lines. We install and configure both.

Frequently Asked Questions About Security Camera Installation
After more than 35 years of serving St. Louis, Brda technicians have fielded a lot of questions about home security. Below are the most common concerns and our answers to them.
How do I choose the right security camera system for my property?-+
Choosing the right system is a big decision that ultimately depends on many factors. You'll typically get the best quality and value with a wired outdoor camera system, but there are plenty of reasons to choose from other options.
If you're unsure where to start, your best bet is to give us a call so we can walk you through the basics and provide a fast estimate. Reach us at 636-200-8342.
What is the typical installation time for a security camera system?-+
The typical installation time can range from 60 minutes (for battery-operated systems) to several hours (for more complex or wired systems). We can provide a more precise timeframe after completing the initial site assessment.
Do security camera installations require permits in St. Louis?-+
The short answer, maybe.
A battery-powered or simple plug-in system is unlikely to need a permit from the city. However, a wired surveillance system that requires any electrical or general contracting work will need to be reviewed and approved by your local Board of Public Service.
Can Brda install video doorbells along with my security cameras?-+
Yes. Video doorbells integrate easily with a broader camera system, giving you a clear view of your entryway alongside the rest of your property. We configure everything to work together so you get one seamless view of your home.
Will my security cameras still work if the power goes out?-+
Battery-powered cameras can keep running independently during a power outage. Hardwired systems depend on your home's electrical service, so pairing them with a battery backup system keeps your cameras and recording online even when the grid goes down.
