Testimonials

See what others have to say.

About one and a half years ago, Chris at City Surveillance Pittsburgh installed cameras for me in a CCTV system in response to a major burglary in my neighborhood. Chris came right away to listen to my concerns patiently, assessed my property with veteran eyes, and came up with a plan that was comprehensive for my property at a price that I could afford. This plan was well executed within 1-2 days of the assessment. He and his team of guys have been so responsive, caring and professional from day 1 til now if ever an issue arises (like when I reset my internet or when I accidentally turned off a camera on my app). I feel blessed having these truly good guys watching over the security of my home and highly recommend them to everyone.

Awesome, awesome service! My husband and I wanted a good, professional grade system on our house. After reading many reviews, we called City Surveillance (Pittsburgh) for a quote and the owner, Chris Sudsina, came out the same day to do a walk through. He was very thorough while asking about the security camera placements and where everything would be residing once installed. His team patiently adjusted and readjusted the cameras to my satisfaction. Our infrared, wide footage cameras look great even in total darkness. Even more, we can access them from our mobile app and laptop from wherever we are. We can now sleep peacefully knowing our home is protected with high quality surveillance. Highly recommended!

Great company with excellent service and reliability. The installers were very professional and mindful of our home when working. The equipment that we received is absolutely stunning and I would recommend this company to anyone looking for surveillance cameras for their home or business.

I cannot recommend City Surveillance and Chris Sudsina enough. I did several months of research for what we wanted for our home. We didn’t want an outside company’s equipment where we had to pay for monitoring and did not have full access to our data. We did not want “low end”, found online equipment, where we would own them, but would have to mess with batteries and poor recording quality. Chris seems to be the only company that installs high-quality, affordable residential CCTV systems and let me tell you, we could not be more satisfied. Chris came out do give us an estimate and instead of trying to sell us more equipment, he was honest and outright said we only needed 4 cameras instead of 6 for our home. The price was perfect, less than we thought it would be for the professional-grade cameras and monitor. The installers were the absolute best, explaining where everything would go, how everything worked and answered any of my questions immediately. Chris was on site for the installation, too! Who does that today? Of course, I have an off-brand smartphone and had some issues with the mobile app the first day (smartphone issue, not the system!), but it was fixed in less than 24 hours, with Chris and Nick on the phone with me and the tech sending me a step-by-step video of exactly what to do to make sure I did it correctly. The HD quality video we receive is phenomenal and the system is so user friendly it is ridiculous! Do not waste your hard-earned money buying a system that you will have to replace in a few years or change batteries. Why pay a monthly fee to have someone else to monitor your system? Invest in peace of mind, get the best quality and go with City Surveillance!

Top notch company with employees to match! Austin and Brent did my installation with such a high level of professionalism that allows me to recommend City Surveillance to anyone interested in a security system for their home or business. I purchased a system for my business and after that experience, I immediately wanted them to do my home! They sell different levels of equipment to fit any budget and have very experienced technicians that will assist with your needs. I am very pleased with my experience every step of the way, from Chris the owner to the employees that ensured perfection as well as making sure I completely understood all the capabilities of my systems! I truly appreciate all the great work!

About Us

Locally owned & operated

Coverage Around Your Home

Peace of mind looks different in every household. Most homeowners focus on the outside of the house, including:

  • Front and back doors
  • Driveways and garages
  • Side yards and the street view
  • An entry foyer
  • A space where a loved one needs extra attention

We plan cable paths carefully, keep wiring tidy, mount cameras neatly, and clean up when we are done. You should notice the peace of mind, not the work.

Home Security Camera FAQs

Are hardwired cameras better than wireless?

For reliability and privacy, yes. Hardwired cameras connect to a recorder by cable, so they are not exposed to the hacking, jamming, and signal drops that affect wireless models.

Cost depends on how many cameras you want, the cable routes, and how much storage you need. After a visit to your home, we give you a clear quote before any work begins.

Most of our home systems use about eight cameras. That usually covers doors, the driveway, and the main areas of the yard, and we adjust the number to fit your property.

Yes. Most residential systems are exterior, but we can add cameras in an entry foyer or another area that matters to your family. We plan placement with you.

Home systems commonly store around eight months of video, depending on setup. You can view live and recorded footage from a phone, tablet, or computer using your own private login.

Footage stays on your recorder instead of in someone else’s cloud. Cables connect each camera to a recorder inside your home, so the system operates as its own closed network.

We can include backup power, and the system restarts by itself when electricity returns. Your cameras connect to the recorder by cable instead of Wi-Fi, so they keep recording whether or not your internet is up.

Your internet connection is used only if you want to check in from a phone, tablet, or computer, and your system has its own login credentials and web address.
