Home Surveillance

High-definition smart cameras, perimeter video analytics, and rock-solid recording networks built to protect your home.

Engineered to Stand the Test of Time

We believe that true home security requires absolute visual clarity and complete property awareness. You shouldn’t have to guess at pixelated nighttime footage, deal with cameras that constantly drop off your network, or wonder if your system actually recorded a critical event on your property. At Stanek AV, we design and deploy premium residential surveillance systems engineered to capture every detail with uncompromising reliability.

We act as your trusted integration advisors, helping you navigate the crucial differences between commercial-grade hardwired setups and flexible, app-driven wireless networks. Serving families across Columbia, Chapin, and the Midlands, our team delivers custom camera layouts tailored specifically to your home’s architecture. Whether you need an impenetrable hardwired network that catches every single second of activity or a smart, expandable smart-home video ecosystem, we build the visual barrier your household deserves.

Yes, absolutely. While the standard Alarm.com setup records individual, event-triggered clips directly to the cloud, we can seamlessly install an optional on-site network recorder to your wireless layout. This allows your Wi-Fi security cameras to stream and log footage continuously to a local hard drive, giving you the best of both worlds: convenient cloud clips and a bulletproof backup archive.

Yes. Even though a hardwired system stores its main files locally on a physical NVR hard drive inside your home, the recorder connects securely to your internet router. This gives you instant, encrypted access to live views and recorded playbacks through a dedicated smartphone app or desktop browser anywhere in the world, completely free of monthly maintenance fees.

Yes, we do it all the time. While running CAT6 data wires is simplest during a new construction build, our installation team specializes in clean, non-invasive retrofitting for existing homes across the Midlands. We carefully map out attic spaces, crawlspaces, and architectural lines to route cables cleanly back to your server closet or media rack with minimal to no drywall disruption.
