One Local Team for Cameras, Access Control, and Network Security
What’s Included in a Smart Security Package
Commercial Security Cameras
Hardwired PoE cameras sized to your building — entrances, registers, docks, parking lots, and the blind corners you only notice after something happens.
On-Site NVR & Cloud Video
Footage records locally to your own NVR, with optional cloud backup for redundancy. You own the recordings.
Access Control & Smart Locks
Keycards, fobs, mobile credentials, and smart locks. Grant or revoke a person’s access in seconds when they join or leave.
Alarms, Sensors & Monitoring
Intrusion alarms and door, motion, water, temperature, and power sensors that flag a problem before it shuts you down.
Remote Viewing From Anywhere
Live and recorded video on your phone, tablet, or laptop — check the shop from home, from the lake, or from a job site across town.
Secured Network & Cyber Hardening
Your cameras are computers. We isolate them on their own VLAN, lock down remote access, and keep firmware patched.
Smart Security Packages Built for Chattanooga Business Owners
There is no single right camera package — a downtown storefront, a warehouse off Amnicola, and a professional office in Ooltewah each need something different. We build the package around your building and how your people actually use it, then support it long term instead of walking away after the install.
Retail, Restaurants & Storefronts
Coverage where loss and liability actually happen — and clear enough footage to be worth pulling.

- Parking and sidewalk coverage for slip-and-fall claims
- Remote check-in on nights and weekends
Warehouses, Shops & Job Sites
Wide areas, low light, and equipment worth protecting after hours.
- Dock doors, yards, and gate approaches
- Low-light and infrared cameras where lighting is poor
- Gate and door access control by crew or shift
- Temperature, water, and power sensors on critical areas
Offices & Professional Services
Discreet coverage, controlled entry, and a clean record of who came and went.
- Lobby, suite entry, and server closet cameras
- Keycard, fob, or mobile credential entry
- Instant access revocation during turnover
- Camera network isolated from client and staff data
Commercial Security Cameras and Video Surveillance in Chattanooga
Most business owners we meet do not have a camera problem — they have a footage problem. The cameras were there, but the angle was wrong, the resolution was too low to identify anyone, or nobody could find the clip when it mattered. We design around the second part: video you can actually use.
What We Install
- Hardwired PoE cameras — one cable for power and data, no batteries and no dropped Wi-Fi connections
- Resolution matched to the shot — higher detail at registers, entries, and license-plate angles
- Low-light and infrared where lighting is poor or shuts off after close
- On-site NVR sized for the retention you need, not the retention a subscription allows
- Clean, labeled cabling run to code and documented for whoever touches it next
What You Get
- Live and recorded video on your phone, tablet, or desktop
- Ownership of your footage — it is your recorder and your hard drives
- Fast retrieval so pulling a clip for police or an insurer takes minutes, not an afternoon
- Motion and line-crossing alerts tuned to cut down on false alarms
- A local team that answers when a camera goes dark six months from now
Access Control for Chattanooga Offices, Warehouses, and Retail
Keys are the quietest security problem a business has. Nobody knows how many copies exist, the last three employees may still have one, and rekeying the building costs real money every time someone leaves. Access control replaces that with a credential you can switch off from your phone.
Credentials That Fit
Keycards, fobs, PIN codes, or mobile credentials on a phone — whichever your team will actually use consistently.
Access by Person and Schedule
Front office hours for staff, after-hours for managers, one-day access for a contractor. Set it once and it holds.
Instant Revocation
Somebody leaves on bad terms at 4:45 on a Friday? Their credential is dead before they reach the parking lot.
A Record of Entry
Know who opened which door and when — useful for shrink investigations, HR questions, and insurance claims.
Alarms, Sensors, and 24/7 Monitoring
Cameras tell you what happened. Sensors tell you while it is still happening. We tie intrusion detection together with the environmental sensors that quietly cause just as much loss — a walk-in that drifts warm over a long weekend, a water heater that lets go above the file room, a power blip that takes down the server closet.
Intrusion Detection
Door, window, glass-break, and motion sensors on the points that matter, tuned to keep false alarms down.
Environmental Sensors
Water, temperature, humidity, and power monitoring on coolers, server closets, and equipment rooms.
Alerts That Reach You
Push notifications to the right people, so an alert at 2am does not sit unread in a shared inbox until Monday.
Ongoing Monitoring
Optional professional monitoring, plus our own device monitoring so we know when a camera or sensor drops offline.
Your Cameras Live on Your Network — We Secure Both
This is where an IT company installing your cameras is genuinely different from a camera company installing your cameras. Every camera, recorder, and door controller is a small computer sitting on your network, often shipped with default passwords and firmware nobody ever updates. Poorly installed security hardware is one of the more common ways small businesses get breached.
What we do differently
We put security devices on their own isolated VLAN so a compromised camera cannot reach your accounting files. We change default credentials, close unnecessary remote access, keep firmware patched, and monitor the hardware the same way we monitor the rest of your network. If Riverview already provides your managed IT services in Chattanooga, your security system simply becomes part of what we look after — same team, same number, no finger-pointing between vendors.
How It Works
Four steps, no pressure, and a written quote before anything gets ordered.
Free Walkthrough
We walk your building with you, look at entrances, blind spots, and how your people move through the space, and ask what you are actually worried about.
A Design and a Written Quote
Camera placements, access points, and sensor locations mapped out, with a clear quote. If you only need half of it right now, we will say so.
Clean Installation
Cabling run to code and labeled, hardware mounted and aimed, network segmented, and everything tested before we leave.
Support That Sticks Around
We show your team how to pull footage and manage credentials, then keep monitoring the system. When something goes dark, you call a local number.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a business security camera system cost in Chattanooga?
It depends on the size of your building, how many cameras you need, and how much cabling has to be run — a single-suite office is a very different job from a warehouse with a yard. We do a free on-site walkthrough, map out the coverage you actually need, and give you a written quote before anything is ordered. No guessing from a phone call, and no surprise line items.
Do I have to pay a monthly subscription to view my cameras?
Not with us. Your footage records to an NVR on site, and you own the recordings. If you want off-site or cloud backup for redundancy we can add it, but remote viewing on your phone works without a per-camera subscription. That is a deliberate difference from consumer systems that lock your own video behind a monthly fee.
Can you tie cameras and access control into our existing network safely?
Yes — and this is the part most camera installers skip. Cameras, NVRs, and door controllers are networked computers. We put them on their own isolated VLAN, keep them off your business traffic, lock down remote access, and keep firmware patched. If Riverview already manages your network, security hardware just becomes part of what we monitor.
Do you install outside of Chattanooga?
Yes. We install and service business security systems throughout the Chattanooga valley, including Hixson, East Ridge, Red Bank, Soddy-Daisy, Signal Mountain, Lookout Mountain, Ooltewah, East Brainerd, Collegedale, and Cleveland, TN. If you are just outside that list, call us — we will tell you straight whether we are a good fit.
