Commercial Surveillance

Every Corner Covered.
Every Site, One View.

Camera systems for Utah businesses — from a single storefront to a multi-site operation — designed, installed and serviced by the same licensed crew.

Matched to the Operation

The Right Platform for Your Size

There is no one best camera system — there is the right one for how many doors, sites and people you run. This is how we actually recommend.

01

Alarm.com — Small to Mid, All On One Platform

For smaller commercial properties that want cameras, access control and the intrusion alarm on a single platform with one app — a small office or warehouse. Professionally monitored, insurance-ready, dead simple to run.

Where it stops: camera counts and analytics. When video is the point rather than a companion to the alarm, step up a tier. Alarm.com for Business →

02

UniFi — Scalable Ownership, No Camera Licensing

Enterprise-grade cameras, recorders, door access and networking you own outright — no per-camera licence, no monthly per-device fees. Start with four cameras and grow to four hundred on the same system; it scales as far as you ever will.

Best for: owners who want serious capability at hardware prices, and the option to unify cameras with the network and door access. The UniFi platform →

03

Verkada — Cloud Command for Larger Operations

When you are running serious square footage, multiple buildings or a lean IT team, Verkada earns its subscription: AI search across every camera (“person in a blue jacket, last Tuesday”), cloud management of every site from one dashboard, video paired with access control, and automated front desks — guest check-in kiosks that print the badge and text the host.

Best for: multi-site organisations, schools and campuses — the scale where the software genuinely pays for itself. The Verkada platform →

24/7 Monitored Video

Cameras That Watch Back

Recording tells you what happened. Live monitoring changes what happens: trained agents watch AI-flagged events in real time, challenge intruders through on-site speakers, and dispatch police with verified video — the kind of call that gets priority response.

Monitored by Shield

Our own 24/7 video monitoring on the systems we install — live agents, audio talk-down, verified dispatch, and one company responsible for the cameras and the watching.

Deep Sentinel

A live-guard service whose software rides on top of cameras — including ones you already own. Real agents intervene in seconds, and for many properties it replaces the cost of a night guard outright.

Not sure which fits? That is a five-minute conversation on a walkthrough — it mostly depends on your cameras, your hours and what you are protecting overnight.

Surveillance Trailers

Security That Arrives
Before the Building Does.

We deploy LVT units and are a direct dealer for Alarm.com’s surveillance trailer — a solar-powered, LTE-connected camera mast that needs no power, no internet and no construction. Towed in, raised, watching the same day.

  • Construction sites and laydown yards — materials and equipment theft ends when the mast goes up
  • Remote lots, events and interim coverage — anywhere cameras are needed before infrastructure exists
  • Monitored, not just recorded — pair the trailer with 24/7 live agents and audio deterrence

Surveillance Drones

The Future of Site Security
Doesn’t Sit Still.

For large-scale operations, fixed cameras end where the terrain gets difficult. An autonomous drone doesn’t. We deploy the Sunflower Labs Beehive: a self-flying, self-charging drone that patrols where masts and poles can’t reach.

  • Launches itself. Triggered by motion sensors or cameras, on a randomized patrol schedule, or on demand — airborne in seconds, back on its dock charging when done
  • Sees like an operator. AI detection of people and vehicles, live tracking of intruders, optional thermal for the dark hours
  • Covers the hard ground. Fence lines, ridgelines, yards and terrain no fixed camera reaches — multiple docks coordinate across the largest sites

Already on an Enterprise Platform?

We Install & Service Avigilon, Axis,
Milestone and Genetec.

If your organisation runs one of the big enterprise video platforms, you already know what they do well — hardened cross-site reliability, deep integrations, serious VMS features. You also know what the licensing renewals cost. We work on these systems every year:

  • Service and repair on existing Avigilon, Axis, Milestone, Genetec and Digital Watchdog deployments — cameras down, recorders full, coverage gaps, failed switches
  • Expansions and camera adds inside your existing VMS, matched to what is already on the wall
  • Takeovers when your current integrator has gone quiet — we document what you have and keep it running

And an honest word before your next renewal: these are excellent platforms, and for some operations the licensing is worth every dollar. But we regularly walk buildings paying enterprise fees for capability that Verkada or UniFi now delivers for a fraction — often with better search, easier management and newer hardware. Before you sign another multi-year agreement, let us price the same coverage both ways. If your platform is still the right answer, we will tell you so — and keep servicing it either way.

Service & Takeovers

Cameras Down Is
a Today Problem.

A camera that stopped recording is not a next-quarter project. We run commercial service calls across the Wasatch Front and Back — on our systems and on systems we have never seen before.

  • Diagnosis first. Camera, cable, switch or recorder — we find which before replacing anything
  • Any reasonable brand. If it runs on IP, we can almost always service it
  • Documentation as we go. You end up with a map of your own system — most buildings have never had one

Why Shield

One Licensed Crew,
Design Through Service.

The company that designs your coverage pulls the cable, mounts the cameras, commissions the system and answers the phone afterwards. No handoffs, no finger-pointing between vendors.

  • Licensed and insured — Utah Burglar Alarm Company License #14207727-6501
  • Placement over pixel count — coverage designed around entries, approaches and blind spots, not spec sheets
  • Network-literate — we build the switching and cabling under the cameras, too

Work Out the Storage
Before Anyone Quotes You.

Camera count, resolution, frame rate and how long you want to keep the footage — and you get the hard drives to buy and the recorder that holds them. It accounts for RAID and drive formatting, which is where the calculators on the manufacturers’ own sites tend to come up short.
