Security & CCTV Surveillance · San Antonio, TX

See Everything.
From Anywhere.

Whether it's a downtown San Antonio business or a 1,000-acre Hill Country ranch, knowing what's happening on your property — in real time, from your phone — is no longer a luxury. AEH designs and installs professional-grade CCTV and surveillance systems that are built to last, integrated with your network, and managed so they actually work when you need them.

What We Install & Manage

Commercial Security
Done Properly

Security systems installed by IT professionals means your cameras are integrated with your network correctly, your storage is sized properly, your remote access actually works, and your system is monitored and maintained — not just installed and forgotten.

  • Access logs — who entered, when, and where
  • Instant remote access revocation
  • Integration with door cameras for visual verification
🔔

Motion Detection & Alerts

Intelligent motion detection sends alerts to your phone when activity is detected in zones you define — after hours, in restricted areas, or at entry points during specific time windows.

  • Configurable detection zones per camera
  • Time-schedule based alerting
  • Push notifications to mobile app
  • Email alert clips for documentation
  • Person detection vs. general motion (on supported cameras)
🔧

Maintenance & Monitoring

A security system that hasn't been maintained is a false sense of security. We monitor your cameras for offline status, storage failures, and firmware updates so your system works when it counts.

  • Proactive camera online/offline monitoring
  • Storage health and capacity alerts
  • Firmware and security update management
  • Annual physical inspection and lens cleaning
  • Same-day response for camera outages
Camera Selection

The Right Camera
for Every Location

Not every camera is right for every location. We select the appropriate camera type for each coverage zone based on environment, lighting conditions, distance, and what you need to see.

🔲

Dome Cameras

Low-profile ceiling mount. Ideal for indoor areas — offices, lobbies, retail floors, and warehouses. Vandal-resistant dome housing.

📡

Bullet Cameras

Long-range outdoor cameras for parking lots, perimeter lines, driveways, and entry roads. Visible deterrent effect.

🔄

PTZ Cameras

Pan-tilt-zoom cameras for large open areas — warehouses, yards, large parking areas. Remotely controlled to track activity.

🌙

Low-Light / IR Cameras

Infrared and color night vision cameras for areas with poor or no lighting. Clear footage after dark without additional lighting.

🌡️

Thermal / Detection Cameras

For large perimeter coverage, fence lines, and remote locations where lighting is unavailable — thermal detects heat signatures regardless of visibility.

🔋

Wireless & Solar Cameras

For remote locations with no power or data runs — solar-powered wireless cameras for ranch gates, outbuildings, and field locations.

Ranch & Rural Property

Eyes on Your Property.
No Matter the Size.

Ranch and rural property surveillance is one of our specialties — and it's a fundamentally different challenge than covering an office building. Large acreage, multiple structures, limited power, and spotty cellular connectivity all have to be accounted for in the system design.

We've installed surveillance systems on Hill Country properties ranging from small rural residences to working cattle ranches of several hundred acres. Every system is designed around the property — not around what's on a shelf at a big-box store.

📡

Long-Range Wireless Coverage

Wireless relay nodes extend coverage across outbuildings, barns, gates, and field locations — no trenching or cable runs required across open acreage.

🔋

Off-Grid Power for Remote Cameras

Solar panel and battery combinations power remote cameras and wireless nodes where grid power isn't available — runs reliably through Texas seasons.

🌙

Night Vision Across the Property

IR and low-light cameras positioned at gate entrances, water tanks, equipment storage, and high-value areas — clear footage regardless of lighting conditions.

📱

Live View from Your Phone

Pull up any camera on your property from your iPhone or Android while you're in San Antonio, traveling, or anywhere else — secure, real-time access.

How It Works

From Site Visit to
Live System

Every installation starts with an in-person site assessment — we don't quote from a floor plan or over the phone. The property determines the design.

01

On-Site Assessment

We walk the property — every area needing coverage, every entry point, every blind spot. We identify power and network infrastructure requirements before quoting anything.

02

Coverage Design & Proposal

A complete camera placement plan with equipment specifications, cable routing, and storage sizing — priced per-item so you know exactly what you're getting.

03

Professional Installation

Clean installation — cameras mounted properly, cables concealed or protected, NVR installed in a secure location, and everything tested end-to-end before we leave.

04

Remote Access Setup

Mobile app configured and tested on your phone — live view, playback, and motion alerts working before the install is complete. We don't hand you an instruction manual and leave.

05

Training & Handoff

We show you how to use the system — how to pull up footage, export a clip, add a user, and adjust alerts. The system should be something you can actually use.

Common Questions

Security & CCTV —
Straight Answers

How much footage can you store, and for how long?+
Storage capacity depends on the number of cameras, the resolution, and whether you're recording continuously or motion-only. We size the NVR storage specifically for your system during the proposal stage — most commercial installations are designed for 30 days of retention, though we can configure systems for 14, 60, or 90+ days depending on your requirements. Some industries — retail, healthcare, legal — have specific retention requirements we account for in the design.
Can we add cameras to an existing system?+
Often yes — if your existing NVR has open channels and your network infrastructure supports additional PoE cameras, expansion is usually straightforward. We'll assess what you have, confirm compatibility, and tell you honestly whether expansion makes more sense than replacement. Older analog DVR systems sometimes make more economic sense to replace than to expand, depending on the camera quality you need.
Is the remote viewing secure? I've heard about cameras getting hacked.+
It's a legitimate concern — most consumer-grade camera systems with default port forwarding are genuinely insecure. We configure remote access properly: cameras are placed on an isolated VLAN, remote access uses a VPN tunnel or a secured cloud relay rather than direct port exposure, default credentials are always changed, and firmware is kept updated. The result is a system where you have secure access and unauthorized parties do not. This is where having your cameras installed by a network-aware IT company rather than a pure security integrator makes a real difference.
Do you handle camera systems for large ranches with multiple buildings?+
Yes — this is a specific specialty of ours given our location in Bandera County. We've designed and installed systems covering multiple hundreds of acres, with wireless relay links between structures, solar-powered remote nodes, and centralized NVR storage at the main house or office. The key is starting with an in-person site walk — we need to understand the terrain, structure placement, power availability, and existing network infrastructure before we can design a system that will actually perform reliably across the property.
Do we need a security license for camera installation in Texas?+
In Texas, installing alarm systems and certain types of security systems requires a license from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) under the Private Security Act. AEH Solutions holds the appropriate licensing for the security work we perform — License B12740901. We operate in full compliance with Texas regulations, and we'll be transparent about what's within our licensed scope for your specific project.
