Commercial CCTV & Video Surveillance in Atlanta, GA

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.

Video Surveillance Built for Commercial Construction

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.

Camera Selection & Placement

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.

Network Infrastructure & PoE

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.

NVR / VMS & Storage

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.

System Integration

We configure event-triggered recording, access control snapshot linkage, and alarm-based PTZ presets — creating a unified security system rather than disconnected applications.

CCTV Systems for Every Property Type

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.

Our CCTV Process

  1. 1

    Site walk & threat model

    We walk the property, identify what each camera needs to capture, and document lighting, mounting, and IT closet locations.

  2. 2

    Design

    Camera type, lens, placement, PoE switch, NVR/VMS, and bandwidth/storage sizing — handed off as a submittal you can compare against any competing bid.

  3. 3

    Install & cable

    Cat6 structured cabling per BICSI/TIA-568, camera mounting, terminations, switch configuration, and NVR/VMS deployment.

  4. 4

    Commission & train

    Per-camera scene tuning, recording rule setup, owner training, and a 12-month workmanship warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much storage does a commercial camera system need?

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.

Do I need ONVIF cameras and what does that buy me?

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.

How do you size the PoE budget?

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.

Can I use existing analog cameras with a new system?

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.

Do you install cloud or on-prem video management?

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.

How long do you keep my video footage?

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.
