Doors that know who you are. Cameras still recording at three in the morning.
We also do this work in child care centers and dealerships.
Commercial access control and security camera systems across Michigan.
Access control and video surveillance designed together, on infrastructure built to carry them, with head-ends, the boards of controllers and power supplies behind the doors, laid out for the next technician and footage retention sized to your policy.
Credentials issued and revoked in minutes, every entry logged, the after-hours door that actually locks — and a head-end you can service without guessing. We are not tied to a manufacturer: readers, controllers, cameras and recorders are chosen for the building and the budget, with NDAA-compliant options where your policy or your funding requires them.
What the work looks like when we leave — and why each detail is there.
These are our installations, photographed by our technicians on site. Nothing staged, nothing stock. Each detail is a decision we make on every project, whether the client will ever see it or not.
Head-ends
Door controllers, power supplies and lock relays mounted on a board with room to grow, every conductor labeled to the door it serves, every supply on battery backup. A head-end laid out like this is the difference between a five-minute fix and an afternoon of tracing. It is also what an inspector wants to see.
Doors and cameras together
A reader at the door and a camera on the landing, installed as one job on cabling sized to carry both. The badge event and the footage answer the same question: who came through, and when. Designing them together is also what keeps the camera pointed at the door instead of at the ceiling tile the reader wire happened to come through.
Readers
Card, fob or phone. The reader is mounted on the side and at the height that makes sense for the door swing, flush and level. Here it is wired back to a controller in the head-end; on some sites the controller sits above the door instead. Either way, every conductor is labeled to the door it serves, so the reader that stops reading in five years is a five-minute find.
What you hold at handoff
The closeout package is part of the job, not an extra.
Your closeout package covers the systems in the agreed scope.
Questions we get
Short answers. The long ones happen on the site walk.
Card, fob or phone?
Any of the three, and usually a mix. Mobile credentials mean nobody shares a fob; cards and fobs still make sense for contractors and visitors. All of them are issued and revoked from one place, in minutes.
How long is footage kept?
As long as your policy says. We size the recorder or the cloud plan to the retention you need, at the resolution and frame rate you actually record, and tell you what that number costs before you commit to it.
What does NDAA-compliant mean for us?
If your building takes federal funding, or your policy or your insurer requires it, we specify cameras and recorders from manufacturers that comply and document that in the closeout package. If it does not apply to you, you still get the option.
Can you add doors to a system another company installed?
Usually. We document the existing head-end, add what you need, and label it so the next technician can read it. If the original install is not worth building on, we tell you that first, in writing, before you spend the money. Dead cameras, failed recorders and readers that stop reading are repaired where the system is sound and replaced where it is not. How a takeover goes.
Do the cameras and doors go on our office network?
No. Cameras and door controllers use separate network segments, with rules controlling access to the business network. Where the existing network cannot do that, we say so on the site walk.
Can you keep an eye on it after the install?
Yes. For clients on a service agreement, remote health monitoring is available: an offline camera, a recorder that stops writing, or a reader that drops off the controller is flagged before anyone notices at the door.
Gates, license plates, vape sensors?
Yes, where the building calls for them. Gate and parking access on the same controllers as the doors, license-plate capture at the entrance, analytics on the cameras for people and vehicle counts, and vape detection in school restrooms. All of it rides on the network and cabling we install, on its own segment, and is documented like everything else.
Can the system support a lockdown?
Lockdown is possible on most systems and can be useful in schools and child care centers. We confirm what your system supports. How we work in schools and child care centers.
The other systems
Security runs on the network and the cabling underneath it.
Tell us about the building. We will walk it with you.
A site walk is free and takes about an hour. What follows is a written scope and a firm, itemized number.
In occupied buildings we work in zones, off-hours and weekends, around shifts and store hours.
A few phones or a failed reader can be a job on its own.
Your building stays your business. We do not publish client names or locations, and what we see on a site walk stays between us.
Outside those hours, the form and the ticket page still reach us. A ticket marked Down is treated as an emergency and goes ahead of scheduled work.
Thank you. We have your request and will be in touch to walk the building with you.
