Asset Monitoring Solutions

Texas Surveillance & Security in Houston TX offers a wide variety of asset monitoring solutions, commercial surveillance systems to keep your business secure and safe while keeping the thieves at bay.

Surveillance Asset Monitoring Solutions

Our Sigmax Digital Event Recorder (DER) offers ease of incorporation with Event Management Center (EMC) software to improve the management of captured footage.

With EMC’s motion detection algorithms, the software can easily detect unexpected movement and disruption and automatically cue recording and/or alarm notification.

You can even embed a point of sale-event monitor (POS-EM) interface to provide an enhanced solution for retail environments.

Financial Asset Monitoring System

The Sigmax POS-EM system affords a way to monitor transaction data from a point of sale and monitors the information via the DER system to keep a vigilant watch for exceptions and unanticipated activity.

This system also allows real-time monitoring of video feeds with a text overlay, allowing a simple way to keep watch on checkout areas.

This monitoring is also actively recorded for later review, and with proper deployment allows users to watch for traditional misdirection methods, such as short-changing, substitute scanning and other means of theft.

We also offer a wide range of commercial grade security camera monitoring systems, with many options, such as solar power, thermal imaging, indoor-outdoor and automatic motion sensitivity options.

What a system like this actually costs

The honest answer is that it depends on camera count, resolution, how much of the site is outdoors, and whether you need analytics. But businesses deserve a real range rather than a runaround, so here is ours. A small commercial system covering entrances, a register area and a back door typically lands between $3,500 and $7,000 installed. A mid-sized warehouse, dealership or multi-tenant building running eight to sixteen cameras usually falls between $6,000 and $14,000. Large industrial sites, multi-building campuses, or anything requiring thermal, license plate recognition or fiber runs go up from there.

What moves the number most is rarely the cameras themselves. It is cable runs through finished ceilings, trenching between buildings, conduit on exterior walls, and the storage required to hold the retention period you actually need. That is precisely why we survey before quoting: the same eight cameras can differ by several thousand dollars in installation cost depending on what is between them and the recorder.

Questions worth asking any contractor

Ask for the Texas license number, and verify it. Ask whether the quote includes the storage needed for your stated retention period or whether that is an add-on discovered later. Ask who services the system in year three, and whether that is the same company standing in front of you. Ask to see footage from a comparable installation at night, not a daytime demo. Those four questions eliminate most of the bad outcomes in this industry.

Why Houston businesses choose Texas Surveillance

We have been a family-operated Texas company since 1993 — 33 years, Texas license B04080401. Over that time we have designed, installed and maintained commercial and industrial surveillance systems for the Houston Rockets, NRG Stadium, the George R. Brown Convention Center, the Houston Police Department, several municipal governments and fire departments, and many hundreds of warehouses, plants, dealerships, restaurants and storefronts across the region.

Two things set a commercial install apart from what you can buy in a box. The first is specification: cameras chosen and positioned against your actual sightlines, lighting and risk, rather than a package applied uniformly to every building. The second is service. Security contractors in this market appear and vanish constantly, and a system with nobody behind it becomes a liability the moment it fails. A large share of our work is maintaining and expanding systems we installed years — in some cases decades — ago.

What every system includes

Commercial-grade, weather-sealed hardware specified for Gulf Coast heat, humidity and storm season. Secure remote viewing from phone, tablet or desktop. Storage sized to the retention your risk actually requires rather than the minimum the recorder ships with. Full handover training so your people can find and export footage without calling us. And a free on-site survey before any of it — because a quote produced without walking the property is a guess.
