Why Professional Video Surveillance?
Video surveillance is the backbone of any modern security system. It deters crime, provides evidence when incidents occur, and gives you the ability to monitor your property in real time from anywhere in the world. But a surveillance system is only as good as its design and installation, and that's where our 40+ years of experience becomes your advantage.
At Certified Protection, we don't just mount cameras on walls. We conduct thorough site surveys to identify blind spots, determine optimal camera placement, and select the right equipment for your specific lighting conditions, coverage areas, and resolution requirements.

Indoor & Outdoor Solutions
Our systems are designed to function indoors or out to protect your property from a variety of threats including theft, vandalism, trespassing, and liability incidents. We use weather rated equipment for outdoor installations that withstands New Jersey's harsh winters and humid summers.
For commercial clients, we design systems that cover loading docks, parking areas, entrances, inventory rooms, and cash handling areas. For residential clients, we protect driveways, entry points, backyards, and common areas with cameras that blend seamlessly into your home's aesthetics.
Full Technical Support
Every surveillance system we install comes with our full technical backup support. If something goes wrong, a camera goes offline, a recorder fills up, or you need to pull footage, we're just a phone call away. Our owners personally handle service calls, so you get expert level support without the runaround of big corporate service departments.
Where to Put Your Cameras
Camera placement is the difference between a system that captures everything and one that misses the moments that matter. We wrote a complete camera placement guide for NJ homes covering the five priority positions, optimal mounting heights, and the common mistakes that waste camera potential.
For commercial properties and warehouses, camera placement follows a different strategy focused on loading docks, high value storage, employee areas, and perimeter coverage. Read our warehouse security guide for the commercial approach.
Already have cameras but can't use the footage? Older analog systems can often be upgraded over the existing cable. Read when to upgrade an old business camera system for the warning signs and how a phased upgrade works.
IP cameras live on your network, so they should be installed like network equipment. Read how to put security cameras on a business network safely.
For warehouses, the most valuable cameras are at the docks and the gate. See where to put loading dock cameras so footage answers the questions a cargo claim will ask.
Beyond Security: Operational Value
Modern surveillance systems do more than deter crime. Retail businesses use cameras to analyze customer flow and optimize layouts. Warehouses verify shipments and document loading procedures. Property managers monitor common areas and resolve tenant disputes with footage. The camera system you install for security often pays for itself through operational improvements you didn't anticipate.
