Plenty of Florissant homes and businesses still have coax camera wiring in the walls, and that is good news. AAA Computer Solutions LLC installs modern DVR surveillance systems that reuse those cables, handles new business CCTV installation and keeps systems healthy with ongoing security camera maintenance. You get sharp HD video without tearing open walls.
Our professional DVR camera installation gives small businesses a dependable system at a lower cost than a full rebuild. Today’s HD analog cameras record in 5MP or 4K over standard coax, so a restaurant, salon, auto shop or office can upgrade picture quality while keeping the wiring already in place.
Every business CCTV installation starts with a walkthrough. We look at entrances, registers, back doors, parking and storage, then decide whether a DVR or a network based system fits your budget and goals. Some sites benefit from a hybrid recorder that runs older and newer cameras together.
We set retention to keep at least 30 days of footage, create user access for managers and connect the system to your phone. Security camera maintenance plans keep everything checked and updated after the install. Compare every option on our main surveillance and security cameras page.
Cameras fail slowly. A spider web blurs one view, a hard drive fills with errors, a connector corrodes after a wet spring. Most owners only notice when they need footage that is not there. Our security camera maintenance visits catch those problems early.
We clean lenses and domes, check each camera’s focus and angle, test night vision, replace failing power supplies, inspect hard drive health and update firmware. If your old DVR cannot keep up, we handle commercial NVR camera installation and move you to IP cameras, often using the same cable paths.
As a local wired security camera company, we also service systems we did not install, including commercial wired security cameras put in by contractors who are no longer around. Learn about full upgrades on our wired security camera installers and IP security cameras pages.
A professional install means no loose BNC connectors, no flickering video and no cameras that drop offline when it rains. We match power supplies to the camera load, so night vision stays bright all night.
DVR systems are also budget friendly. Reusing existing coax can save hundreds of dollars in labor, and HD analog cameras now deliver crisp 5MP or 4K images. Local recording keeps working when the internet goes down, with no monthly cloud fees. Add the right retention settings and secure remote access, and you have reliable evidence whenever you need it.
A standard DVR system needs four parts: the recorder with enough channels (4, 8 or 16), a surveillance rated hard drive (1TB to 8TB, depending on camera count and retention), the cameras and the cabling.
Most systems use RG59 siamese cable, which carries video and 12 volt power together, or video baluns over Cat6. You also need a central power supply box, BNC connectors, a monitor for setup and an internet connection for remote viewing. Setup covers channel naming, motion zones, recording schedules, time sync and app pairing. We handle every step and test it all before we leave.

DVR camera installation connects coax cameras to a digital video recorder, which converts the signal, records it to a hard drive and streams live and recorded video to your phone.
In the St. Louis area, a professionally installed four camera DVR system typically costs about $600 to $1,800. Replacing only the DVR on existing wiring costs less. We quote after a free site visit.
Mount the cameras, run coax or siamese cable to a central spot, connect cameras and power to the DVR, install a hard drive, then set recording schedules, motion zones and phone access.
You need a DVR, a surveillance hard drive, compatible cameras, RG59 or siamese cable, BNC connectors, a 12 volt power supply, a monitor for setup and internet for remote viewing.
Yes, a basic kit is manageable for handy homeowners. Professional installation pays off for long cable runs, attic work, multiple floors or businesses, where poor connections and weak angles cause missed footage.
