Frequently asked questions
How much does security camera installation cost in Sacramento?
TaskBond pros start at $80 per camera for labor. A typical 4-camera PoE system with an NVR usually lands in the low hundreds for labor, plus your equipment. The pro confirms the final quote — equipment plus labor — before you pay anything.
Should I buy the cameras myself or have the pro supply them?
Either way works. Many customers buy their own kit (Costco and Amazon bundles are popular) and book labor-only installation. If you'd rather the pro supply everything, mention it when booking and the equipment cost goes into your quote.
Wired or wireless — which is better for my home?
Wired PoE cameras are more reliable and don't depend on Wi-Fi, which matters for larger Sacramento-area homes with detached garages. Wireless cameras are faster to install and fine for 1–2 camera setups. The pro will recommend based on your house layout and Wi-Fi coverage.
Can you run cables through my attic?
Yes — attic and crawlspace cable runs are a standard part of the job. Sacramento summers make attics brutally hot, so pros typically schedule attic work for mornings. Mention attic access when booking.
Do I need Wi-Fi upgrades for my cameras to work?
Sometimes. Four or more wireless cameras can strain an older router. The pro will test signal strength at each camera location during the job and tell you honestly if an access point or mesh node would help — no upsell pressure.
Is it legal to point cameras at the street or a neighbor's yard?
In California you can generally record video of areas visible from your property, but audio recording has stricter rules, and pointing cameras directly into a neighbor's windows is asking for trouble. The pro will help aim cameras at your own entries and driveway.
