If you’re thinking about installing video surveillance but aren’t sure where to start—you’re not alone. With so many options out there, from wireless cameras to smart video analytics, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone.

At Guardian Integrated Security, we’ve helped hundreds of clients across Los Angeles find the perfect security solution for their homes, businesses, and job sites. And we’ve made the process as simple and clear as possible.

Let us walk you through how we make choosing the right surveillance system easy and stress-free.

Step 1: We Start with What You Need

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all systems. The first thing we do is have a real conversation with you. Whether you’re protecting a construction site, an apartment complex, a small business, or a large facility, we want to know:

  • What’s your biggest security concern?
  • Have you had any past incidents?
  • Are there specific areas you’re worried about?
  • Do you need 24/7 monitoring or just motion alerts?

By asking the right questions up front, we can recommend a system that solves your specific problems—without adding extra bells and whistles you don’t need.

Step 2: On-Site Assessment

For properties in and around Los Angeles, we’ll usually send a technician out to do a walk-through. This helps us identify security weak spots—like dark corners, blind spots, or unsecured access points. We also check for:

  • Power and internet availability
  • Ideal camera placement
  • Lighting conditions (especially for night vision)
  • High-traffic or high-risk areas

After this visit, we’ll provide a custom surveillance plan that fits your layout and priorities—not a generic bundle.

Step 3: Breaking Down the Options

Here’s where people usually get stuck. There’s a lot of jargon in the security industry—PTZ cameras, cloud storage, AI detection, infrared night vision… the list goes on.

We explain everything clearly, in language you can understand. And we don’t push unnecessary upgrades.

Instead, we’ll help you compare:

  • Wired vs. wireless cameras
  • Basic vs. smart detection
  • Live monitored vs. self-monitored setups
  • Local storage vs. cloud-based recording

The goal is simple: we want you to feel confident about what you’re buying and why.

Step 4: Fast, Professional Installation

Once you’re happy with the plan, our team gets to work. We handle everything—installation, wiring, setup, and testing.

We take pride in clean, discreet installations that don’t ruin your walls or wiring. And before we leave, we walk you through how everything works—so you know exactly how to use your system from Day 1.

We’ll also help you set up the mobile app so you can check your cameras anytime, from anywhere.

Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring & Support—Only If You Need It

Some customers want to be hands-on and check their cameras themselves. Others prefer us to handle everything with remote video monitoring.

With Guardian’s remote monitoring service, our trained security agents watch over your property 24/7. If we see anything suspicious, we can speak directly through loudspeakers, alert authorities, and prevent problems in real-time.

Not ready for that yet? No worries—you can always start small and upgrade later.
