Commercial Security Camera Systems & Equipment We Install in Sacramento and Across the United States
From IP and analog cameras to NVR storage and AI-powered analytics — here’s the equipment Workman Communications installs, and how to choose the right setup for your property.
CAMERA TYPES
Types of Security Cameras We Install
Every property has different coverage needs. We design systems using the right mix of camera technology for your layout, lighting, and budget.
IP Cameras
Network-based, high-resolution imaging with flexible placement and remote access over your network or the cloud.
Analog HD
Cost-effective coaxial-based systems, well suited to smaller sites or budget-driven upgrades of existing wiring.
PTZ Cameras
Pan-tilt-zoom cameras for large lots, parking areas, and staff-operated live tracking of activity.
Dome & Bullet
Discreet dome housings for indoor spaces, and weatherproof bullet cameras for visible outdoor deterrence.
RECORDING & STORAGE
NVR vs. DVR Systems
NVR — Network Video Recorder
Records digital video sent over your network from IP cameras. Higher resolution, easier scaling, and cleaner remote access — our standard recommendation for new commercial installs.
DVR — Digital Video Recorder
Works with analog and HD-over-coax cameras. A practical fit when a property already has coaxial wiring in place and a full rewire isn’t in the budget.
SMART FEATURES
AI Video Analytics & Smart Features
Person & Vehicle Detection
Filters routine motion so alerts flag real activity, not passing shadows or weather.
Cameras as Alarms
Virtual zones and lines turn cameras into alarms, sending an alert with video to your phone when someone crosses or shows up after hours.
Remote Viewing
Live and recorded footage from any device, from any site, over a secure app or portal.
Searchable Event Footage
Find the moment you need by activity type instead of scrubbing hours of video.
Facial Recognition Alerts
Get alerted when a previously banned individual on your watchlist is recognized on camera, so your team can step in early.
License Plate Alerts
Flag specific plates, such as a vehicle tied to a past incident, and get notified the moment it enters your property.
Loss Detection
Surfaces suspicious activity around high-value areas and after-hours movement, then speeds up pulling the footage.

CHOOSING A SYSTEM
Choosing the Right System for Your Property

Wide-angle and PTZ coverage across docks, aisles, and yards.

Centralized remote monitoring across locations from one portal.

Discreet entry and common-area coverage that fits the space.
ONE UNIFIED SYSTEM
Integrating Cameras with Access Control & Alarms
Your camera system doesn’t have to run on its own. We connect video, access control, and alarm platforms into a single view — so a badge swipe or an alarm trigger automatically pulls up the matching camera feed.
FAQ
Common Questions
IP cameras send digital video over your network, offering higher resolution and easier remote access. Analog cameras run over coaxial cable and work well when a property already has that wiring in place.
Both — the right choice depends on your cameras and existing infrastructure. We recommend NVR for new IP camera installs, and DVR when reusing existing analog or coaxial wiring.
Yes. We regularly connect camera systems with access control and alarm platforms so a badge event or alarm trigger automatically surfaces the matching video.
It depends on square footage, entry points, and what you need to monitor. We start every project with an on-site assessment to map coverage before recommending equipment.
It depends on where you operate and how you use it. California has no standalone biometric statute, but the CCPA/CPRA treats biometric information as sensitive personal information, which generally means giving notice when you collect it. Illinois, Texas, and Washington have their own consent rules. Post clear signage, keep a written policy, and review your plans with your attorney before turning it on.
In California, yes. Businesses that operate or use license plate recognition must maintain a written usage and privacy policy, and post it on their website if they have one. We install and configure the technology, but the policy is your responsibility, so have your counsel review it.
Cameras with AI analytics can detect people and vehicles in defined zones and send alerts with video to your phone, which adds a strong layer of protection. Whether they can replace a monitored alarm system depends on your insurance, local requirements, and how you want responses handled, so we usually recommend using the two together. We design around how you want to be notified.
