We're not a national franchise with a Michigan phone number. We're a security camera company based on Elizabeth Lake Road in Waterford Township, and we've spent the last 26 years installing hardwired camera systems on Oakland County homes and businesses — from lakefront lots in White Lake to office buildings on Big Beaver in Troy.
Every job starts the same way: a real conversation, a free virtual site survey over Google Maps, and a walk around your property before we recommend a single camera. We design the system around what your property actually needs to see — then we install it, test it, and hand you the footage. No monthly fees. Ever.
Oakland County isn't one kind of place, and it doesn't need one kind of camera system.
Wooded lots around Pontiac Lake, Cass Lake, and Union Lake have long driveways that go completely dark at night, tree lines that swallow standard cameras' low-light range, and water-side access points most homeowners have never thought about. Out here, super low-light technology isn't a nice-to-have — it's the difference between a usable face and a gray smudge.
Subdivision homes in Rochester Hills, Novi, and Commerce Township almost all share the same weak point: the attached garage, which is the most common entry point and the least commonly covered one. Older neighborhoods in Pontiac and Waterford have corner lots where a front-facing camera misses the entire side yard. Estates in Bloomfield Hills need coverage across acreage, gates, and outbuildings.
Dixie Highway, Telegraph, Woodward, M-59, Grand River — each have their own patterns. Parking lot blind spots. Back doors invisible from the street. After-hours activity that only shows up once a camera is finally pointed at the right place.
We've installed across all of it, season after season, since 2000. That's what actually shapes our system designs — not a package off a shelf.
We work everywhere in Oakland County. These are the communities we're in most often — select yours for details specific to your area.
Don't see your city? We still cover you — everywhere in Oakland County, same pricing, no travel charge. Royal Oak, Southfield, Birmingham, Lake Orion, Oxford, Milford, South Lyon and everywhere in between.
Don't take our word for it. Here's an actual job we finished — the cameras on the walls, the system on the wall-mounted TV, and what the customer wrote about it after.
As a disabled veteran and retired military officer, I pay very close attention to professionalism, communication, reliability, and attention to detail — and this company absolutely delivered.
I recently had Security Camera Guru complete the installation of a full nine-camera security system at my home. From beginning to end, the installation team was respectful, patient, knowledgeable, and highly professional. They took the time to explain the system, answer questions thoroughly, and ensure everything was installed correctly and functioning properly before leaving.
The quality of the work was excellent, and the entire system looks clean, organized, and professionally done. Having a properly installed security system brings tremendous peace of mind. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality security camera installation and dependable customer service.
This is one of hundreds of installs across Oakland County since 2000. Yours starts the same way — a real conversation.
Some customers stay with us for one job. Others stay with us for years. Royal Diner in Clarkston has been a Security Camera Guru customer since 2020 — cameras, audio, TVs, low-voltage, even COVID-era temperature scanners. One trusted call for all of it.
We have been working with Roland and the team at Security Camera Guru for about seven years, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the quality of service provided.
Roland has done exceptional work at both our businesses and homes, including security camera systems, commercial audio systems, installed TVs, low voltage wiring and even COVID-19 temperature scanners for our business.
He consistently demonstrates remarkable professionalism and a strong work ethic. He is honest, loyal, and has always been there for us regarding warranties, providing support both in person and on the phone. His attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship are evident in every installation.
I have even referred him to friends and family, all of whom have been equally impressed. I highly recommend Security Camera Guru to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled team.
From break-fix calls to full-system upgrades, we treat every business like a long-term partner — because most of them become one.
Call or text (248) 257-8181. Tell us what's going on — a break-in, a package problem, a new building, or just peace of mind. This call costs nothing and you'll talk to someone who installs cameras for a living.
We pull up your property on Google Maps together and sketch a first draft of coverage before anyone drives anywhere.
We come out, walk every angle, and verify the design on the ground. This is where the plan gets honest — and where we quote. We never price a system we haven't seen.
Hardwired, tested, configured on your phone, and we don't leave until you know how to use everything. Most residential systems run $800–$2,500. Commercial typically takes one to two days, and business financing is available.
No. Price is based on your property and the system it needs — not your zip code. Novi costs the same as next door.
Most homes are done in one day. Commercial buildings usually take one to two. We show up with everything we need, so there are no return trips dragging the job out.
Residential systems generally run $800 to $2,500 depending on the property and camera count. Commercial varies more. We quote after the property walk, never before — a price quoted sight-unseen is a guess, and guesses get expensive.
Yes. We'll look at what you have and tell you straight whether it's worth repairing or replacing. Sometimes the honest answer is that your existing wiring is fine and you only need new cameras — that answer saves you money, and we give it when it's true.
Yes — all of Oakland County, every community, including ones not listed on this page. The list above is simply where we work most often.
Usually, yes — it depends on your HOA's rules. Check your bylaws first and we'll design a system that fits within them.
All the time — retail, restaurants, offices, warehouses, medical, auto. Business financing is available for qualified installations.
Wireless cameras drop signal, eat batteries, and depend on your Wi-Fi staying up. A hardwired system records continuously, in 4K, in near-total darkness, with nothing to charge and no monthly fee. It costs more on day one and less every day after.
Every system we've installed — from Clarkston to Troy, White Lake to Novi — started with someone picking up the phone and telling us what was going on. That's still step one.
