Home security in New York City comes with challenges most other places never face. Package theft in apartment lobbies, unauthorized building access, and the unique layouts of pre-war brownstones all require tailored solutions.
NYC IT Tech installs and monitors security systems designed specifically for how New Yorkers live and work, from simple wireless alarms in rentals to comprehensive business security systems with cameras.
Security Systems for NYC Homes and Businesses
Alarm Systems and Monitoring
When your alarm detects unauthorized entry, broken glass, or unexpected motion, our response center gets the alert immediately. Professional alarm monitoring means real people verify each alert and contact you within seconds. Home monitoring services connect to your smartphone so you know what’s happening even when traveling.
Camera Installation Throughout NYC
Installing security cameras in New York requires understanding how buildings work here. We handle CCTV installations across all five boroughs from doorbell cameras to multi-building surveillance networks. HD cameras with night vision and remote viewing through mobile apps let you check your property anytime.
Access Control and Video Intercoms
Keyless entry systems paired with video verification create records of every person who enters your building. Modern video intercom systems let you see who’s at your door, speak with delivery drivers, and grant temporary access from your phone. This solves package theft problems many New Yorkers deal with daily.
What Security System Works Best for Your Space?
Apartments and Condos
Wireless alarms with video doorbells work perfectly for renters. You get package alerts, no drilling into walls, and a setup that won’t cost you your security deposit.
Brownstones and Townhouses
These need a mix of wired and wireless cameras. You get coverage at all your entry points, outdoor monitoring, and installation that respects historic details.
Small Businesses
Integrated access control linked with surveillance gives you what you need. Track who’s coming in, protect yourself from liability, and record everything continuously.
What You'll Pay for Security Camera Installation in NYC
Security camera installation cost depends on how many cameras you need and what features matter most. A basic four-camera system costs less than comprehensive setups monitoring every floor and outdoor area.
We provide detailed quotes including all equipment, professional installation, and monitoring. The monthly alarm monitoring cost varies based on included services like video verification, cloud storage, and mobile app features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes. We install wireless systems using adhesive strips and minimal fasteners that won’t damage walls. Most landlords approve these installations since they improve building security. Check your lease and notify your landlord before we start work.
Plans typically range from $25 to $60 monthly based on included services. Basic alarm monitoring costs less than plans with video verification, cloud storage, and full mobile app control.
Wired systems connect sensors through cables in your walls and offer reliable communication but require installation work. Wireless systems use radio signals and work great for rentals. Most modern setups combine both technologies.
Exterior cameras generally don’t require permits in New York, but you must follow privacy laws. Cameras can’t record inside neighboring properties or capture public sidewalks beyond what’s necessary for monitoring your entrance. We help navigate these requirements during installation.
Video doorbells and lobby cameras create visible deterrents. Two-way audio lets you talk with delivery drivers and direct them to secure locations. Motion alerts notify you immediately when packages arrive.
