How we scope a system
Every project starts with a walk of the property, because coverage cannot be designed from an aerial photo. We identify what you are protecting and what you are trying to prove, then work outward from there. A business worried about inventory shrink needs a fundamentally different camera layout than one worried about liability claims in the parking lot, even in an identical building.
We map the approach routes first. Most losses do not begin at the point of theft; they begin at the fence line, the loading dock, or the unlit corner of the lot where someone waited. Cameras placed only at the obvious targets tell you something was taken but never who took it or how they got in. Coverage that follows the path in and the path out is what produces an identification.
Then we check the lighting, at the hours that matter rather than at midday. A camera that renders beautifully at 2pm and uselessly at 2am has failed at the only job it had, and the overwhelming majority of commercial incidents happen after dark. We measure the actual conditions and specify sensors, infrared or low-light colour accordingly.
Finally we size storage against how long it realistically takes you to notice a problem. Businesses regularly discover a loss weeks later, at a quarterly count or when a claim is filed. A recorder holding fourteen days has already erased the evidence. Retention is a design decision, not a default setting.
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.

Thank You For Contacting Us! — frequently asked questions
How much does a commercial security camera system cost?
Most Houston commercial installations run between $3,500 and $25,000 depending on camera count, resolution and analytics. A typical 8 to 16 camera system is roughly $6,000 to $14,000 installed. Every quote follows a free on-site survey.
How long does installation take?
Most commercial systems are installed in one to three days. Larger industrial or multi-building sites take longer. We work around your operating hours.
Can I view my cameras remotely?
Yes — every system includes secure remote viewing from phone, tablet or computer, with live view, playback and clip export.
How long is footage kept?
Standard retention is 30 days; we routinely configure 60, 90 days or a full year where insurance, compliance or legal requirements demand it.
Do you service what you install?
Yes. We have been family-operated in Houston for 33 years and a large share of our work is maintaining systems we installed years ago.
Are you licensed?
Yes — Texas license B04080401. Texas requires state licensing for security system installation; always ask for the number before hiring.
