Licensed CCTV Installation for Homes & Businesses Across New York City

Paragon Security & Locksmith has provided security camera and locksmith services in New York City since 1988, serving residential and commercial clients across all five boroughs and parts of New Jersey. Our licensed and insured technicians handle every stage of the camera lifecycle: consultations, free estimates with upfront pricing, professional installation, ongoing maintenance, and repairs. We hold a BBB accreditation with an A+ rating, and every technician is trained through our internal certification process. We don’t use outside contractors, so the quality of every job stays under our direct control.

Security camera installation in New York City demands a provider who understands the city’s dense building stock, mixed wiring infrastructure, and co-op or condo board requirements. That experience, built over more than three decades of continuous operation, is what separates a system that performs from one that fails at the wrong moment. We arrive in clearly marked service vehicles, work transparently, and back every installation with warranty coverage.

Our Security Camera Services in New York

We offer a full range of camera solutions for properties of every type and size, from a single-family home to a multi-building commercial portfolio. Whether you need a new system designed from scratch, a security camera repair in New York, or an upgrade from analog CCTV to a modern IP network, our team identifies the right approach for your property and budget.

We offer the following security camera services:

Repairs and upgrades often reuse existing cable infrastructure, reducing both cost and installation time. If your system goes down unexpectedly, we offer same-day service, weekend appointments, and 24/7 emergency response so you’re not left without coverage.

Mobile Camera Monitoring for New York Property Owners

Mobile camera monitoring lets you view live footage, receive motion-triggered alerts, and review recorded video from a smartphone or tablet regardless of where you are. For New York landlords, property managers, and business owners who oversee multiple locations or travel frequently, remote access to live feeds can reduce the need for on-site monitoring and help you respond quickly to activity on your property.

We work with you to configure a mobile monitoring setup compatible with your devices. Wireless cameras and cloud-based or IP systems with app integration feed footage directly to your phone or tablet, so you can check on your home or business at any time with an internet connection.

Brands We Work With

We select camera brands based on performance, durability, and long-term reliability so installations hold up under the demands of a New York City property. Every system is customized to match the layout and requirements of your space, and our warranty coverage means we return to address any component failure or adjustment after the job is complete. Financing options are available to help manage the upfront cost of a camera upgrade.

Hanwha Group – commercial-grade cameras used across retail, multi-family residential, and commercial office environments
Hikvision – one of the most widely deployed IP camera manufacturers globally, with HD and 4K resolution systems and NVR integration
Eagle Eye Networks – cloud-based video surveillance with remote access and AI-powered analytics

All three product lines offer high-definition resolution, night vision, and motion detection. Our team helps you weigh the options against your property type, camera count, and monitoring preferences before any work begins.

Professional Camera Installation in New York City

New York City’s building stock presents challenges that don’t exist in most other markets. Pre-war brick and concrete construction limits wireless signal penetration between floors and rooms, making PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) wired cameras a more reliable choice than WiFi-dependent systems in many buildings. Modern glass high-rises bring their own considerations around mounting, concealment, and exterior weatherproofing. A licensed installer familiar with the city’s range of construction types selects camera placements and wiring paths that account for these variables from the start, avoiding signal failures and structural conflicts that can come from treating every building the same.

Co-op and condo boards in New York often require documentation or approval before any exterior or common-area camera work begins, and understanding that process is part of the job. There are also legal boundaries to observe: recording in areas where individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy may be prohibited under New York law, and audio recording without the consent of at least one party can trigger additional statutes. A professional installation addresses camera placement and scope in a way that helps keep the system compliant and defensible. For properties in landmark districts, exterior mounting may require review under local preservation standards before work proceeds.

Security Cameras for Residential & Commercial Properties in NYC

The right camera system depends on the property type and who’s managing it. Residential systems in New York City typically prioritize building entry points, lobby areas, hallways, and rear exits, with a smaller camera count than commercial properties. The goal is clear coverage of the access points most likely to matter in the event of a break-in, package theft, or incident in a shared space.

Multi-Family & Managed Buildings

Multi-family buildings, co-ops, and condos add a coordination layer to the process. Common-area cameras in lobbies, mailrooms, stairwells, and parking areas involve decisions about who monitors the footage, where it’s stored, and how access is managed across tenants and staff. These aren’t purely technical decisions; they affect daily building operations and should be worked through before installation begins.

Commercial Properties & Property Management Portfolios

Commercial properties require a different coverage strategy. Retail stores, restaurants, and offices typically need cameras positioned over cash registers, stockrooms, sales floors, and loading areas, often at higher resolution to support loss-prevention review. Property management companies overseeing multiple New York City buildings can benefit from networked systems with centralized remote access across all locations, so a single manager can monitor activity without being on-site at each property.

Camera systems can also be integrated with access control and intercom systems to build a layered approach to building security. For properties with both residential and commercial tenants, or for buildings undergoing a broader security upgrade, combining these systems through one commercial security company simplifies installation and reduces the number of vendors involved in ongoing maintenance.
