Pontiac is Oakland County's original seat and one of Michigan's oldest inland cities — real neighborhoods, real history, and a downtown that's coming back.
Security Camera Guru installs 4K security cameras, access control, and low-voltage systems for homes and businesses throughout Pontiac and the rest of Oakland County — owner-operated, licensed, and insured since 2000.
Pontiac is right next door to our Waterford shop, and it's a different kind of job than the newer suburbs. A lot of the housing here is early-1900s — the historic districts like Seminole Hills, Franklin Boulevard, and Fairgrove are full of brick and plaster homes with real character and no modern wire chases. Those take patience to wire cleanly, and that's the part we don't cut corners on.
Downtown is its own thing — the brick storefronts around the Woodward Loop and along Saginaw and Huron, plus the offices and service businesses that have moved in as the area's come back. And out on the east side near Centerpoint Parkway and Opdyke, there are bigger commercial and industrial buildings that need more cameras and longer runs. We do all of it: homes, storefronts, rentals, and full commercial jobs.
We've installed on streets across the city — from the Auburn Avenue, Joslyn, and Baldwin corridors to homes off State Street, North Perry, Cesar Chavez, and up in the Oakhill area. Whether it's an old house that needs a careful wire run or a storefront that needs eyes on the door and register, it's the same standard — hardwired, recording around the clock, no monthly fees, and yours to keep.

Yes, and it’s a big part of what we do in Pontiac. A lot of the homes here in neighborhoods like Seminole Hills, Franklin Boulevard, and the Fairgrove area are early-1900s builds with plaster walls, real wood lath, and no modern wire chases. We take the time to find a clean path — basements, closets, soffits — instead of stapling wire across the outside. Older houses take a little more patience, and that’s fine.
Yes. We install for the brick storefronts and offices around the Woodward Loop and along Saginaw and Huron downtown — retail, restaurants, offices, and service businesses. That means good coverage of entrances, registers, back doors, and parking, with on-site recording and no monthly fees.
Often. Pontiac has a lot of landlords and investors, and we set up systems that let an owner watch entrances, common areas, and parking from their phone across one or several properties — without a monthly cloud bill for every unit.
Yes. On the east side of Pontiac near Centerpoint Parkway and Opdyke there are bigger office and industrial buildings, and we handle full commercial jobs there — more cameras, longer cable runs, AI person and vehicle detection, and a recorder sized for the property.
Visible, well-placed cameras at every entry point, bright enough to read a face or plate at night, recording 24/7 to a recorder on-site so nobody can walk off with your only copy. That combination deters most people and gives you real footage if something does happen — which is exactly how we build every Pontiac system.
