What is the difference between indoor and outdoor security cameras?
Outdoor cameras are built with weatherproof housings rated for rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, and typically feature wider viewing angles and longer-range night vision. Indoor cameras are more compact and designed for interior monitoring with features like two-way audio and privacy modes. APB Security installs both types and can recommend the right mix for your property.
Do your security cameras have night vision?
Yes, all of our security cameras include infrared night vision that provides clear video footage even in complete darkness. Many of our cameras offer up to 100 feet of night vision range, and our premium models include color night vision technology for enhanced detail after dark.
Can I view my security cameras from my phone?
Absolutely. All camera systems we install include mobile app access for both iOS and Android devices. You can view live feeds, play back recorded footage, receive motion alerts, and even communicate through two-way audio from anywhere with an internet connection.
How is camera footage stored and how long is it kept?
We offer both local storage (via DVR/NVR recorders on your property) and cloud storage options. Local storage can typically hold 30 or more days of continuous footage depending on the number of cameras and resolution. Cloud storage provides secure off-site backup that can't be stolen or damaged. We'll help you choose the best option for your needs.
How many security cameras do I need for my home?
The number of cameras depends on the size and layout of your property. Most homes benefit from 4 to 8 cameras covering entry points, driveways, backyards, and common areas. During your free consultation, our technicians will assess your property and recommend optimal camera placement to eliminate blind spots while staying within your budget.
