Hardwired systems for commercial businesses, restaurants, warehouses, churches, hotels, and schools.
Commercial security cameras
Let's
Work Together
Every commercial project starts with a conversation. We walk your property, ask what concerns you most, and learn where problems tend to happen.
Then we design a system with the right cameras, the right placement, and enough recorder storage for the footage you need.

This message is to state that City Surveillance of Pittsburgh is a Top-of-the-Line service company. Which was professionally expressed before and after the purchase and installation of surveillance systems for our Church and Athletic buildings here in Philadelphia. The owner came to Philadelphia, presented the equipment and that’s exactly what was installed as promised. More importantly, City Surveillance showed a tremendous amount of respect for the building in which they were working. (The Church). Their equipment is state of the art, and top notch. We also appreciate the level of support that continues to follow the installation. We are very pleased with the services provided and have recommended City Surveillance to other small businesses and members of the church.

Great service before and after the sale! City Surveillance makes big jobs look easy. They installed equipment at my business a few years ago and they were the first people I called for the protection of my new business. Their equipment is top notch, prices are low and Chris, the owner, will make the whole process easy for you.

Commercial Security Camera Projects
City Surveillance Pittsburgh
Why Choose Us
Every property is different. We design your security camera system around your layout, entrances, parking areas, and vulnerabilities, so each camera is placed where it counts.
We handle planning, equipment recommendations, installation, and setup. You get a finished system without managing the technical details. We do what we say we will do and stay in touch after the install.
Retail & Hospitality
Protect people and property
Business owners use our systems to settle questions quickly and with facts.
Property managers check lots and common areas without driving out. Owners review how a shift handled a rush. A camera at the back door or dumpster area is often the first one to pay for itself.
Warehouses & Industry
See how your operation runs
Plant managers watch production lines and workflows. If a question ever comes up about employee conduct or harassment, you have a clear record.
We think about glare, lighting, angles, and the spots people overlook, like side entrances, receiving docks, and parking lots.
Schools & Churches
Coverage where it counts
We design every commercial system around your building, install it with clean cabling, and keep it working after the job is done.
One local team handles everything from the first walkthrough to the final setup, so nothing falls between vendors.
Hardwired by design
A Private System at Your Site
Your system runs as a closed, hardwired network on a recorder at your site. The cameras do not rely on Wi-Fi to operate, and the internet is used only if you want to view footage away from the property. Each client receives unique login credentials and a private web address.
If you already have cameras, we can help. We know DVR, TVI, and NVR equipment, so we can update an aging system, combine old and new, or replace it all when the time comes.
Commercial Security FAQs
How much does a commercial system cost?
Cost depends on the number of cameras, the camera types, how difficult the cable runs are, and how much recorder storage you need. Open ceilings and exposed rafters are usually easier to wire than finished walls. After we walk your property, we provide a clear quote for the full project.
How many cameras does my business need?
It depends on your layout and goals. A small shop may need 8 to 16 cameras, while a hotel, plant, or shopping center can need dozens or hundreds. We start with entrances, parking areas, cash handling, and high-risk spots, then build coverage from there.
Can you work with my existing system?
Yes. We work with DVR, TVI, and NVR equipment, so we can combine older and newer cameras or replace the whole system if that makes more sense.
How long is footage stored?
Storage time depends on camera count, resolution, and recorder size. A large shopping center system on an 8 terabyte recorder, for example, holds about two months of footage. If you need longer, we can plan for more capacity.
Will cameras keep working in a power outage?
We can add backup power to keep your system running. If power drops, the system restarts on its own when electricity returns, with no service call needed.
Do you install outside Pittsburgh?
Yes. We travel for larger commercial projects and have installers who work under the City Surveillance name in Philadelphia, New York City, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, and South Carolina.
What types of cameras do you install?
We choose from fixed cameras, varifocal cameras, pan-tilt-zoom cameras, license plate cameras, and day and night cameras. When one camera can replace several, we also offer AI and 360 degree panoramic options.
Does my system depend on Wi-Fi?
Your system runs as a closed, hardwired network on a recorder at your site. The cameras do not rely on Wi-Fi to operate, and the internet is used only if you want to view footage away from the property.
What happens during installation?
Our crew runs the cabling, mounts the cameras, installs the network video recorder, and sets up remote viewing. We clean up before we leave.
