Unique Communications designs and installs security camera systems for shops, offices, warehouses, plants and apartment buildings. We help you choose camera positions that capture faces and licence plates rather than the tops of heads, record footage on site, and set up the app so you can check in from anywhere.
Business camera systems
- Indoor and outdoor HD cameras sized for the area: wide views for parking lots, tighter views for doors and tills.
- Night vision for yards and loading bays.
- On-site recorder (NVR) that keeps footage for __ to __ days depending on cameras and storage.
- Remote viewing on phone, tablet or PC, with playback and clip export for police or insurers.
- Integration with your alarm and access control, so you can see who opened a door when it opened.
Camera brands we install: list brands, e.g. Avigilon, Hikvision, Alarm.com.

What camera systems cost
Price depends on the number of cameras, cable runs, recording length and whether the cameras need to see in the dark. As a guide: 4-camera business system from $___ installed; video doorbell from $___. We quote after a free site survey.
Privacy and signage
Businesses in Ontario that record video should post clear signs that cameras are in use, keep footage secure and limit who can view it. We position cameras to cover your property, not your neighbours’, and can advise on signage.
Common questions
Can I watch my cameras from my phone?
Yes. Every system we install includes remote viewing and playback from your phone.
How long is footage kept?
It depends on storage and settings. Most business systems keep several weeks of recording; we size the recorder to your needs.
Do cameras work at night?
Yes. We use cameras with infrared night vision for outdoor and low-light areas.
Can you add cameras to my existing alarm?
Usually. Alarm.com cameras and doorbells can be added to many existing DSC and Qolsys systems.
