How long does install take?

Install time varies by Install & Power Type. Typical times are 1 hour for a battery camera, and 2.5 hours for a plug in camera. Once you've picked your Technologist you can ask them for more information.

What happens if something stops working?

You’re protected by our Make it Right Policy. If something stops working, please contact your Technologist who will be able to help.
