Frequently Asked Questions
Will every solution listed here work with my property?
Not necessarily. Available capabilities depend on the compatible camera hardware, platform, licensing, and network conditions at the property. Final capability is confirmed during a system review.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on camera type, quantity, scene conditions, lighting, analytics, licensing, recording retention, network requirements, mounting, service plans, travel, and site conditions. See "How Pricing Works" below.
Do I need to choose Alarm.com or Digital Watchdog before an estimate?
No. These video solutions are organized around what your property needs to accomplish. Platform selection happens after your requirements, camera count, analytics, and recording needs are reviewed.
Is this right for a smaller automotive & yards property?
It can be. Cormier Security Systems scopes coverage around the property and how the footage will actually be used, not a fixed package size.
