How a typical Austin home gets covered.
Most single-family homes need 6–10 cameras to eliminate blind spots entirely. Here's how we usually distribute them.
The single most important camera position in any home. This camera captures every face that approaches your door — critical for package theft and identity evidence.
- 4K wide-angle or doorbell camera
- Facial recognition zone for repeat visitors
- Package detection alerts
- Two-way audio to speak to visitors
Captures every vehicle and person entering your property. Critical for license-plate capture if someone tampers with cars or tries a break-in through the garage.
- License-plate recognition capable
- Vehicle & person detection
- Motion-triggered floodlight integration
- 24/7 recording during overnight hours
The most common intrusion point — because it's out of sight of the street. Covers sliding doors, pool equipment, and rear gates.
- Weatherproof IP66+ rated cameras
- Full-color night vision
- Pool safety monitoring
- Coverage of sliding glass doors
Captures the interior of the garage in case of forced entry or if someone enters through a side door. Also useful for delivery confirmation when a driver leaves a package inside.
- Wide-angle interior camera
- Coverage of side door & storage
- Optional intercom integration
Optional for most homes, essential if you have pets, aging parents, or young children left with a sitter. We only place interior cameras where you direct — never in bedrooms or bathrooms.
- Discreet dome or cube cameras
- Pet & nanny monitoring
- Privacy zones on request
- Nursery-safe IR-free options
Sides of the house are popular entry points for burglars because neighbors rarely see them. A camera on each side eliminates that vulnerability.
- Narrow-angle cameras for long runs
- Coverage of AC units & utility access
- Gate monitoring
Three camera styles. One right answer per position.
We don't push a single camera brand or model. Instead, we match the right hardware to each position on your property based on distance, lighting, and what you're trying to capture.
Dome Cameras
Discreet and vandal-resistant. Ideal for front entries and covered outdoor areas where the camera needs to blend in without drawing attention.
Bullet Cameras
Long-range visibility with a visible deterrent effect. Best for driveways, side yards, and any position where you want to capture plates or faces at distance.
Doorbell Cameras
Combines a camera, doorbell, and two-way intercom into a single front-door device. Answers deliveries, tracks package drops, and captures faces at close range.
Works with the smart home you already own.
Your new cameras don't need to live in a separate app. We integrate with the smart home ecosystem you already use — so a single tap can lock the doors, dim the lights, and arm the cameras.
Amazon Alexa
View any camera on Echo Show devices or Fire TV with voice commands.
Google Home
Stream live feeds to Nest Hub and Chromecast with simple voice phrases.
Apple HomeKit
Add cameras to the Home app and trigger scenes from iPhone or Apple Watch.
Smart Locks
Pair cameras with August, Yale, or Schlage locks for auto-lock on exit.
Smart Lighting
Trigger porch lights or interior lamps when cameras detect motion.
Alarm Systems
Integrate with Ring, SimpliSafe, or traditional alarm panels for one dashboard.

We're not a franchise or a lead-generation site. Every technician who works on your home is a licensed, background-checked SecureVista employee based in Austin.

What Austin homeowners say.
Real reviews from real installs. Every one of these systems was installed within the last 18 months.
"We had two package thefts in our neighborhood, so we called SecureVista. They came out within a week, installed 8 cameras and a doorbell cam, and walked me through the app. Zero incidents since. Worth every penny."
"The installers were careful about our landscaping and routed every cable through the attic. You can't see a single wire from the outside. The footage quality at night is honestly stunning — clear enough to read a license plate from the street."
"What sold me was no monthly contract. I own the equipment and the footage is stored locally. When I had a small issue with one camera six months later, they came out the next day and fixed it for free. That's real service."
Questions from Austin homeowners.

Most single-family homes in Austin do well with 6–8 cameras: two in front (entry + driveway), two in back (patio + sliding door), and one on each side. Larger properties or homes with detached garages often need 10–14. We'll give you the exact number after the free site walk — no guesswork, no pressure to buy more than you need.
Not automatically — but we offer a 4-hour battery backup unit (UPS) as an add-on that keeps both the cameras and the NVR running during outages. Many of our customers add this specifically because summer storms in Central Texas can knock out power for hours. With cloud storage, footage is preserved even if the NVR goes offline.
Yes — every camera we install has an onboard microphone and can capture audio alongside video. You can also speak through outdoor cameras with two-way audio, useful for talking to delivery drivers or warning off intruders. Texas is a one-party consent state for audio recording in most residential contexts, but check your local HOA rules just to be safe.
Absolutely. Every system we install comes with a mobile app that works over Wi-Fi or cellular data anywhere in the world. You can view live feeds, review recorded clips, receive motion alerts, and even use two-way audio — all from your phone, tablet, or laptop. We configure and test it before we leave your home.
Yes. Our wired systems use ethernet or PoE (Power over Ethernet) cables, so they record locally to the NVR regardless of Wi-Fi status. You only need Wi-Fi to view live footage remotely. For homes with weak Wi-Fi coverage, we can add a mesh extender as part of the install.
We prefer someone 18 or older to be home at the start and end of the install — mainly so we can confirm camera positions with you and hand off the mobile app. If that's not possible, we can coordinate with a neighbor, a property manager, or use a lockbox. Most installs take 6–10 hours, and we'll text you when we arrive and when we leave.
You own the equipment, so you have options. If you sell the home, we can either transfer the system to the buyer (a nice selling point) or uninstall it for you. If you move to a new place in Greater Austin, we'll reinstall the same equipment at your new address for a discounted labor rate.
