What do you need?

A wireless link to a camera position, gate or outbuilding -- line of sight from the house and a working outlet at the far end A camera position, with a post -- nothing to mount on where the coverage is needed A camera position on something that already exists -- a soffit, gable or fence line is already at the right angle Driveway gate automation -- an existing gate operator, wired and app-triggered Mounting and commissioning camera equipment I already own -- no post, no cable run — the equipment work itself

Booked today, as one job: a pair of Ubiquiti NanoStation 5AC Loco radios aimed and linked, powered from an outlet at each end, with surge protection at each radio and building entry. You pay us one flat $400 labor fee. You buy the parts yourself from retailers (the Procurement list), so they are never on our invoice. Labor plus the parts you buy stays under $1,000 for the year. The camera equipment itself is not part of the job until our Virginia DCJS certification is issued.

Perimeter Surveillance Upgrades: Coming Soon (awaiting Virginia DCJS licensure)

Camera work is not part of any job booked here right now. The Virginia DCJS Electronic Security Business certification is in progress; this notice changes the day it is issued.

No video feeds are offered or installed today.

Wireless link

Straight-line distance, house to far end (ft)

Is there a working outlet at the far end? Yes No

Planned range 1640 ft (500 m) with clear line of sight; your distance 150 ft.

needs your answer

150 ft is within the 1640 ft (500 m) we plan a NanoStation link for, given clear line of sight.

Confirm there is a working outlet at the far end.

We check line of sight from your two photos and again on site; with trees in the way we find a better angle or say so before you pay.

Get vetted

Upload your two line-of-sight photos before submitting so we can confirm line-of-sight and tree canopy without a manual back-and-forth (optional, but faster).
