Equipment we install
What we install
Security Systems We Install on Staten Island
A typical Staten Island property ends up with two or three of these systems working together: cameras over the driveway and the front door, an alarm on the ground floor, an intercom or card reader at the entrance. We plan them as one system, so a single app can show the footage, arm the alarm and open the door.
Security Cameras and CCTV
Wired PoE cameras recording to a 4, 8 or 16-channel NVR, with live view and playback on your phone. We cover driveways, yards, storefronts, parking lots and lobbies.
Access Control
Cards, fobs, PIN codes and phone credentials on Keri Systems, Rosslare, Paxton or Brivo controllers. Each door gets a permission list and an entry log that you manage.
Alarm Systems
Door and window contacts, motion detectors and glass-break sensors on a panel that sounds a siren on site and alerts your phone or a central station.
Intercoms
Audio and video intercoms from ABB, Aiphone and Comelit for two-family houses, condo complexes and apartment lobbies, including entry from a phone app.
Alarm Monitoring
A central station watches your alarm around the clock and dispatches police or the fire department. A cellular communicator keeps the signal going when the internet is down.
Repair and Upgrades
Service and expansion for systems another company installed, as long as the recorder, panel or controller is still supported by its manufacturer.
Access control
Access Control Installation for Staten Island Businesses and Buildings
Access control replaces brass keys with cards, fobs, phone credentials or PIN codes. When an employee leaves or a tenant moves out, you delete the credential from a dashboard and the door stops accepting it within seconds, so nobody has to call a locksmith to rekey.
On Staten Island it fits medical and dental practices, storefronts and restaurants along Hylan Boulevard, Richmond Avenue and Forest Avenue, condo associations with a shared lobby and a parking gate, and warehouses and contractor yards on the West Shore. Each tenant, shift or vendor gets its own hours, and the log shows who opened which door.
We size the controller to the building (2, 4, 8 or 16 doors) and choose between on-site software with no yearly fee and a cloud platform such as Brivo when one permission list has to cover several properties. Readers can also be tied to your cameras, so every badge swipe lines up with the video.
What an access control job includes
- A walkthrough of every door: frame, existing lock, power and the cable path back to the panel
- A door-by-door hardware plan with electric strike or maglock, reader type and request-to-exit device
- Fail-safe or fail-secure settings that match fire code for each opening
- User list, door groups, schedules and holiday rules built before handoff
- Gate and parking lot readers, elevator floor control and video intercom entry when needed
- On-site training, with administrator rights left in your name
Cameras and CCTV
Security Camera Installation Planned for Staten Island Properties
Staten Island is the most suburban of the five boroughs. Most residential blocks have driveways, detached garages and backyards, so a camera layout here looks very different from a Manhattan lobby job.
We start from what you need to see at 3 AM and work back to camera positions, lens angles and how many days of footage the recorder must keep. Wired cameras run on Power over Ethernet, one cable for power and video, and wireless models go where a cable cannot reach.
- Driveways and parked carsA camera aimed down the driveway at plate height records every car that pulls in and anyone who walks up to it at night.
- Package theftA video doorbell paired with a wide-angle camera over the porch follows a delivery from the curb to your door.
- Salt air and wind near the waterHomes in South Beach, Midland Beach, Great Kills and Tottenville call for IP66 or IP67 rated housings and corrosion-resistant mounts.
- Flood-prone blocksWhere basements took water during Hurricane Sandy, the recorder, alarm panel and network switch belong on the first floor or higher.
- Storefronts and parking lotsRetail and restaurant owners usually want the register, the entrance and the lot on one recorder, with enough storage to meet their insurance carrier’s retention rules.
From walkthrough to handoff
How Security System Installation Works
The order is the same for a two-camera house in Annadale and a 12-door access control job in Bloomfield.
Free walkthrough
A technician checks every entry point, the existing wiring, power and the route back to a closet or panel location.
Written plan and quote
You get a device list by location and model, labor and materials itemized, and any monthly fees in writing before you sign.
Installation
Cable goes inside walls or in neat raceway. When a condo board or HOA has to approve the work, we send the plan and insurance certificate first.
Testing and training
We test every camera angle, sensor and door with you, set up the app on your phone and show you how to add users and pull footage.
What Affects the Cost of a Security System
Every quote is itemized by device, so you can see what adding or dropping one camera or one door does to the total.
- Device count. Each camera, sensor, reader or intercom station adds hardware and labor.
- Wired or wireless. Wired devices take longer to install and run more reliably; wireless ones go in faster in finished rooms.
- The building. Brick, concrete, finished basements and long cable runs between floors add hours.
- Equipment grade. Resolution, storage, controller size and brand move the hardware price.
- Monthly services. Central station monitoring and cloud software carry a fee on top of installation.
You sign the contract before any work starts. Larger jobs take a partial deposit, with the balance due at completion.
NYC Rules We Plan Around
Staten Island follows the same city codes as the other boroughs, and some of them decide where a device can go.
- Most low-voltage security work needs no Department of Buildings permit. New electrical circuits or structural changes can trigger one.
- Magnetic locks must release for safe exit, so each one gets a request-to-exit sensor, an exit button and a fire alarm tie-in where the building has a fire alarm.
- Condo boards and HOAs usually approve anything mounted in common areas, on the roof or on the facade, and many ask for the installer’s certificate of insurance.
- Apartment buildings with smart access fall under the city’s Tenant Data Privacy Act. Businesses that collect biometric data from customers must post a notice at the entrance.

What Our Clients Say
4.9 out of 5 across 150+ Google reviews, plus an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
It was nice to have a professional company install my intercom system. Much better than these "save a dollar" places that don't have a store and make a mess. But this place has smart, nice people who are professional and know what they're doing. I highly recommend Lock and Tech!
Hired this company to move our intercom system from inside to outside and also to install a new magnetic door lock on the outside glass door. This company did a great job and did a professional installation. They even helped us set up the AxTrax software for free to help manage access for our key-fob system. Recommended!!
Lock and tech provided a great price and service. They did our acces points, alarm and security cameras for the Doctors office. Highly recommend!
Gabriel and his team installed a new intercom system in my building. They are so professional and responsive. They did the job quickly yet with precision. It is such an improvement from what we had, I can't believe we waited so long to do it. I highly recommend Lock and Tech!
Security System Installation FAQ for Staten Island
How much does security camera installation cost on Staten Island?
The price depends on the number of cameras, wired or wireless installation, the building and the recorder you choose. We quote after a free walkthrough and itemize every device, so you see what each camera adds before you sign anything.
Do you install access control for small businesses and condo buildings?
Yes. We install card, fob, keypad and phone-based access control for offices, medical practices, storefronts, condo associations and multi-tenant buildings, from a single door up to sites that need several 16-door controllers.
Can you work with cameras or an alarm another company installed?
Usually, as long as the recorder, panel or controller is still supported by its manufacturer. The walkthrough confirms what can stay and what needs replacing before we quote.
Do I need a permit for a security system on Staten Island?
Most low-voltage work, including cameras, alarms and card readers, needs no Department of Buildings permit. New electrical circuits or structural work can. Condo boards and HOAs often approve equipment in common areas, and we prepare the plan and insurance certificate for them.
How fast can a technician get to my property?
Same-day dispatch is available within our service area. Installations are scheduled on weekdays from 8 AM to 6 PM, and emergency service runs 24/7.
What warranty comes with a new installation?
You get a 3-year workmanship guarantee on the installation and a 12-month warranty on electrical components, both covering parts and labor.
Can I watch my cameras and unlock doors from my phone?
Yes, on most systems. When the cameras, alarm and access control run on compatible platforms, we set them up in one app. When they don’t, we keep the number of apps as low as possible and tell you which ones before you sign.
