SafeCams8: Shopping for security cameras
How we can help you
Q: Do you sell video equipment?
A. No. You buy your own system. We help you choose the best system for you.
Q: Do you charge for your services?
A. No. We are all volunteers who have helped Quarter and Marigny residents install more than 75 systems.
Why are you doing this?
A: We want to help keep you safe. Having your own system lets you see what's going on outside without stepping into a potentially dangerous situation.
We do ask that you register your system with SafeCamNOLA and allow detectives to retrieve video if a crime takes place in your neighborhood. No one monitors your system. You alone have access.
Q. Do you install systems?
A. If you choose to use our installer, he gets paid a minium $100 for four hours work and $25 an hour thereafter. Most installations take four to six hours.
Q. Can I just buy a system and have your installer put it in?
A. No. Our installer has no experience helping residents put the best system together within their budget.
Q. If I buy a system you recommend, can I install it myself?
A. Yes.
Q. Do I need special skills?
A. If you have do-it-yourself skills, most likely. You'll need a good-qualty ladder, a drill, a screwdriver or two, be able to run wires and drill one quarter-sized hole from the outside to the inside of your house. Good computer skills will help you understand the setup. No electricians or contractors are needed.
