📹 IoT & Camera Server Setup · Northwest Indiana
Cameras and NVR setups that stay on your network
Doorbells, cameras, and recorders should protect the house — not open a door on the Wi-Fi. I install, aim, and wire viewing so footage is local, the phone app works, and gadgets sit on their own network.
Camera, NVR, and IoT jobs are quoted after a short call. I will confirm the price before any work.
Problems I fix
- Cameras that only work on a vendor cloud
- No recording when the internet drops
- Doorbell and cameras on the same Wi-Fi as laptops and taxes
- Footage that disappears after a few days
What is included
- Security camera and doorbell install, aiming, and app setup
- NVR / camera server build for local recording and playback
- Remote viewing on your phone without exposing the whole network
- Smart home and IoT device setup (lights, sensors, hubs, locks)
- Separate camera and IoT Wi-Fi so guests and gadgets stay isolated
- Storage, retention, and backup so footage is there when you need it

Questions
- Do I have to use a cloud subscription?
- No. I prefer local recording on an NVR or camera server so the footage is yours. Phone viewing can still work without putting the whole network on the internet.
- Can you use cameras I already bought?
- Often yes. I will tell you if the model is a poor fit before we spend time on it.
