CAMERA LINEUP

Right Camera, Right Placement, Right Outcome

We select cameras based on entrances, counters, lots, docks, hallways, and low-light areas — not guesses.

Indoor Coverage
Offices • Lobbies • Hallways
  • Clean indoor placement (faces + context)
  • Hallway coverage without glare hotspots
  • Front desk / reception proofing
  • Respectful angles for privacy-sensitive areas
  • Optimized viewing in Protect app
PLAN INDOOR COVERAGE
Outdoor + Perimeter
Entrances • Lots • Docks
  • Entry points, gates, dock doors, and loading areas
  • Lighting + angle planning to reduce washout
  • Weather-ready mounting and cable routing
  • Wide vs zoom placement based on distance
  • Operational coverage that actually helps
PLAN OUTDOOR COVERAGE
Special Use Cases
Cash points • Storage • High value
  • Cash registers and POS verification angles
  • Inventory and stockroom visibility
  • Server room / IT closet oversight
  • After-hours incident clarity
  • Exportable evidence workflow
DESIGN A COVERAGE MAP
AI WORKFLOWS

Faster Incident Review With Smarter Events

We tune detections using camera placement, lighting, and coverage design — reducing noise and improving “find the moment” speed.

Smart Event Filters
People • Vehicles • Motion tuning
  • Reduce false alerts with better angles
  • Focus on entrances and choke points
  • Keep teams from “alert fatigue”
  • Improve after-hours review speed
  • Workflow-based camera naming & grouping
TUNE DETECTIONS
License Plate Workflows
Gates • Lots • Deliveries (model dependent)
  • Gate/entry placement for plate visibility
  • Angle + distance planning for readability
  • Review-by-time-window workflows
  • Better evidence exports when needed
  • Operational tracking (vendors/deliveries)
PLAN LPR COVERAGE
Policy & Governance
Who can view • export • manage
  • Role separation: admin vs viewer
  • Export workflow for incidents
  • Retention targets aligned to policy
  • Documented access + change control
  • Remote access designed securely
SECURITY REVIEW
RECORDING FOUNDATION

NVR & Gateway Design That Matches Your Risk Profile

The difference between “we have cameras” and “we have evidence” is storage, retention, and secure access design.

NVR / Console Planning
Reliability • retention • performance
  • Storage sizing based on camera count + retention target
  • Separate “critical cameras” retention policy
  • UPS and power protection for recording
  • Secure admin access + change control
  • Incident export workflow
SIZE MY NVR
Cloud Gateways
Secure remote access • monitoring
  • Secure remote viewing architecture (no risky port forwards)
  • Network segmentation for cameras
  • Better reliability with proper switching + PoE
  • Site-to-site patterns for multi-location orgs
  • Documented admin + viewer roles
SECURE REMOTE ACCESS
Retention Targets
Policy-first video retention
  • Retention by area (public vs restricted)
  • Retention by camera priority (entry/dock/pos)
  • Clear storage expectations
  • Export & chain-of-custody workflow planning
  • Optional offsite archive for long-term needs
PLAN RETENTION
ARCHIVE & RECOVERY

Cloud Backup Strategy for Evidence & Long-Term Retention

For organizations that need longer retention or offsite protection, we design a cloud archive workflow using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace storage policies.

Microsoft 365 Archive
SharePoint / OneDrive governance
  • Structured incident folders + naming standards
  • Role-based access and audit-friendly sharing
  • Retention policy alignment for compliance
  • Controlled external sharing when required
  • Documentation + training for staff
DESIGN M365 ARCHIVE
Google Workspace Archive
Drive / Shared Drives governance
  • Shared Drives owned by the business
  • Group-based permissions & clean offboarding
  • Secure vendor/client sharing patterns
  • Organized export workflow & documentation
  • Searchable incident libraries
DESIGN GOOGLE ARCHIVE
Hybrid Archive Policy
Local + cloud with recovery testing
  • Define what stays local vs archived offsite
  • Export standards for incidents
  • Restore testing & reporting cadence
  • Access governance + change management
  • Disaster readiness: theft/fire/flood protection

FAQ

UniFi Protect Camera Surveillance Questions

Answers written for business owners and property managers — clear, direct, and security-focused.

Do you install UniFi Protect camera systems in the East Valley?
Yes — Mesa Geeks designs and installs UniFi Protect deployments across Mesa and surrounding Arizona service areas. Book a site walk and we’ll map coverage.
What’s the biggest mistake businesses make with cameras?
Poor placement and no retention plan. We solve this with coverage mapping, storage sizing, and secure access design — so your footage is usable.
Can you help us archive footage for compliance?
Yes. We can build an incident export + archive workflow using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace governance patterns.
Do you support UniFi networking too (switches/Wi-Fi/gateways)?
Yes. Cameras are only as reliable as the network. We can design PoE switching, segmentation, and secure remote access so the system stays stable.
