IP video surveillance for Atlanta-area commercial properties — 4K cameras, PoE infrastructure, NVR/VMS, and integrations with access control and alarm. Designed by ONVIF- and BICSI-trained technicians.
IP camera system performance depends on more than the camera model. Coverage gaps, undersized PoE switches, inadequate storage, and poor conduit routing all degrade a system that looked fine on the submittal sheet. JB Technologies designs CCTV systems from the infrastructure up — selecting cameras for specific viewing conditions, sizing network and storage correctly, and installing everything to perform reliably over the long term.
We specify cameras based on the actual viewing requirement — interior vs. exterior, lighting conditions, required field of view, and mounting surface. Fixed, PTZ, fisheye, and multi-imager cameras are selected for each location to eliminate blind spots.
We size PoE switches, design the camera VLAN, and coordinate with the IT team to ensure bandwidth, port density, and switch placement support the camera count and resolution requirements before conduit is pulled.
We configure NVRs and VMS platforms sized for the required retention period, camera resolution, and frame rate. Storage is calculated per camera based on actual bit rates to ensure specified retention is delivered.
We configure event-triggered recording, access control snapshot linkage, and alarm-based PTZ presets — creating a unified security system rather than disconnected applications.
Camera placement requirements, lighting conditions, and network infrastructure vary significantly by facility type. JB Technologies has experience across a wide range of commercial and institutional buildings.
Interior and exterior camera coverage for lobbies, parking structures, loading docks, and perimeter with VMS platforms accessible remotely by property management.
Hospital and medical facility camera systems with focus on HIPAA-compliant storage, patient area coverage limitations, and high-security zone monitoring.
Apartment and student housing camera systems covering entry points, parking areas, amenity spaces, package rooms, and elevator cabs.
High-bay warehouse and distribution center coverage with wide-angle and PTZ cameras for dock doors, inventory areas, and perimeter fencing.
K-12 and campus camera systems covering building entries, common areas, and parking — integrated with access control for complete situational awareness.
Hotel camera coverage for lobbies, corridors, parking, and service areas — integrated with front desk and security office workstations.
Ultra HD cameras for applications requiring license plate capture, facial recognition, or detailed forensic review.
True low-light and IR-equipped cameras for exterior and poorly lit interior locations, with IR range matched to actual coverage distance.
Pan-tilt-zoom cameras with auto-tracking for large open areas, and analytics cameras for loitering detection, line crossing, and people counting.
Dedicated LPR cameras at entry and exit points with OCR software for parking management, gate integration, and incident documentation.
Cloud VMS for multi-site organizations requiring centralized management, remote viewing, and off-site video retention.
Every design includes a storage and bandwidth calculation to ensure recorded retention is actually achievable with the specified camera count and resolution.
Commercial CCTV installations must meet network infrastructure standards, manufacturer requirements, and site-specific security specifications.
ONVIF-compliant cameras and NVR platforms ensure interoperability between devices and future upgrade flexibility.
Guide for Premises Security — the standard governing camera placement for intrusion detection and surveillance applications.
Structured cabling standards applied to camera cable infrastructure for transmission performance, proper termination, and documentation.
Permits pulled in our name; Atlanta and metro-suburb AHJ relationships built over years of new construction and TI work.
Access control, CCTV, fire alarm, and the cabling under all of it on one contract — fewer finger-points when you call for service.
Authorized Kidde Commercial dealer for the Southeast plus active partnerships with the access control, video, and infrastructure brands enterprise IT teams already standardize on.
Submittals, sequences of operations, as-builts, and inspection reports formatted for your AHJ and insurance carrier — not buried in field email.
We walk the property, identify what each camera needs to capture, and document lighting, mounting, and IT closet locations.
Camera type, lens, placement, PoE switch, NVR/VMS, and bandwidth/storage sizing — handed off as a submittal you can compare against any competing bid.
Cat6 structured cabling per BICSI/TIA-568, camera mounting, terminations, switch configuration, and NVR/VMS deployment.
Per-camera scene tuning, recording rule setup, owner training, and a 12-month workmanship warranty.
Storage depends on resolution, frame rate, codec, scene activity, and retention policy. As a rough planning number, a 4MP H.265 camera at 15 fps with motion-only recording uses roughly 80-150 GB per camera per month at 30-day retention. We size the NVR or cloud bucket against your actual scenes during design, not a generic calculator.
ONVIF Profile S and T compliance ensures cameras work with multiple VMS platforms and survive a vendor change. We default to ONVIF-compliant cameras (Hanwha, Axis, Avigilon, Verkada) so you are not locked into a single manufacturer.
We total each camera class's peak power (heater + IR + analytics on), add 20% headroom, and pick a switch with adequate per-port and total budget. PoE++/802.3bt is required for PTZs and cameras with onboard heaters; standard PoE+ covers most fixed bullets and domes.
Yes, via encoders that convert BNC/coax to ONVIF on the network. It is usually a stopgap — we recommend phasing analog out at the next lifecycle, both for image quality and because most VMS analytics (LPR, line crossing, person/vehicle detection) need IP cameras.
Both. Cloud VMS (Verkada, Eagle Eye, Rhombus) for sites that want zero on-prem hardware and remote-by-default access. On-prem (Genetec, Milestone, Hanwha Wisenet) for properties with strict data-residency requirements or high-bandwidth analytics workloads.
Retention is whatever you specify, sized in design. Typical commercial sites land on 30-60 days; healthcare and education often go 90+ days; cannabis and gaming require 90 days minimum by state regulation.
