Security Camera Installation in NJ: The Complete Guide for 2025

    Whether you own a home in Toms River, run a business in Edison, or manage a commercial property in Newark, a professionally installed security camera system gives you eyes on your property 24/7.

    At Advanced Tech Solutions, we have installed hundreds of security camera systems across New Jersey and Philadelphia.

    Why Professional Installation Matters

  • Camera placement is optimized — A professional knows the angles, heights, and fields of view that eliminate blind spots.
  • Wiring is clean and protected — We run wiring inside walls, conduit, or along rooflines in a tamper-resistant way.
  • Recording is reliable — We install local NVR/DVR recording so your footage is always saved, even if the internet goes down.
  • Image quality is commercial-grade — The cameras we install capture crisp 4K footage with true wide dynamic range.
  • Remote access is properly configured — We set up secure remote viewing on your phone or computer.
  • Types of Security Cameras We Install in NJ

    IP / Network Cameras (Most Popular)

    IP cameras transmit video over your network and record to a Network Video Recorder (NVR). They offer the best image quality, flexible placement, and easy remote access.

    Analog / HD-TVI Cameras

    A cost-effective option for properties that already have coaxial wiring in place, or for large commercial properties with many cameras.

    PTZ Cameras (Pan-Tilt-Zoom)

    PTZ cameras can be remotely controlled to pan, tilt, and zoom across a wide area. Ideal for parking lots and large commercial properties.

    Dome Cameras

    Vandal-resistant ceiling-mounted cameras popular for retail stores, offices, and interior spaces.

    Bullet Cameras

    Highly visible wall or ceiling mounted cameras that act as a deterrent. Weatherproof and ideal for exterior coverage.

    License Plate Recognition (LPR) Cameras

    Specifically designed to capture license plate numbers clearly, even at night or in motion.
