The Short Answer

Next Phase Electric installs home security cameras around Covington, Kent and nearby. Most homes need a mix: a floodlight camera on the existing garage or porch light box, a video doorbell at the front door, and cameras under the eaves for the side yard and the back. Wired cameras run on one Ethernet cable each, which carries both power and video back to a recorder or the router, so they never need charging and do not depend on Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi and battery cameras need a strong signal where they are mounted and a way to stay charged. A floodlight camera on an existing light box is usually about an hour; a wired four-camera system takes most of a day.

What We Install

Four Kinds of Camera Job

From one floodlight camera to a wired system around the whole house.

Floodlight cameras

A camera and a floodlight in one, wired to the box where your garage or porch light is now. Lit at night, recording when something moves.

Wired PoE camera systems

One cable to each camera carries power and video back to a recorder. No batteries, no Wi-Fi dropouts, and the video stays at home.

Wi-Fi and battery cameras

Mounted where they see what matters, aimed and set up in the app. A solar panel or a nearby outlet keeps them charged.

Doorbell and entry cameras

A video doorbell at the front door, plus a camera on the side gate or back door, so every way in is covered.

Done Properly

What a Camera Needs to Work

Three things decide whether a camera actually helps on the night you need it.

Power that does not run out

A floodlight camera takes its power from the light box. A PoE camera gets it over the cable. Battery cameras need charging or a solar panel, and a dead battery records nothing.

A connection that holds

Wi-Fi gets weaker through walls and across the yard. A camera that keeps dropping offline usually needs a closer access point or a cable, not a new camera.

Aimed at what matters

Doors and gates at face height, the driveway and the back of the house, pointed at your own property, with the sun and the porch light out of the lens.

Which Kind

Wi-Fi Cameras or Wired PoE?

Both record. They differ in power, reliability and where the video goes.

Wi-Fi or batteryWired PoE
PowerA battery to recharge, a solar panel, or an outlet nearby.Over the same cable as the video. Nothing to charge.
ConnectionYour Wi-Fi, which weakens with distance and walls.A cable back to the recorder or router. Steady.
RecordingUsually to the maker's cloud, often with a monthly plan.To a recorder at home, with the cloud optional.
Best forOne or two cameras, or where a cable cannot go.Covering the whole house, day and night.

FAQ

Common Questions

Three things set the price: how many cameras, whether they are wired or Wi-Fi, and how the cable or power gets to each spot. A floodlight camera on an existing light box is the shortest job. You get the exact price before any work starts.

Yes. Ring, Google Nest, Arlo, Eufy, Reolink, Lorex and most others. Tell us the model when you book, so we bring the right mounts and cable.

Usually, yes. It mounts on the same outdoor box. Most need power all the time, so the wall switch stays on or gets a cover. We check that the box is weather-rated and solid enough first.

Wired PoE cameras are steadier: no batteries, no Wi-Fi dropouts, and the video recorded at home. Wi-Fi and battery cameras are quicker to put up and fine for one or two spots with a strong signal.

Usually weak Wi-Fi where the camera is, or a battery that ran down. A closer Wi-Fi access point or a cable fixes most of them. We check the signal before mounting.

A floodlight camera on an existing light box is about an hour. A wired system with four cameras and a recorder usually takes most of a day.

The front door, the driveway, side gates and the back door are the usual places, mounted out of easy reach and aimed at your own property. We suggest spots on the visit.
