How much does a commercial security camera system cost?

Cost depends on camera count, building layout, and storage needs. Every INTEK project starts with a free on-site assessment so you get a fixed-scope quote based on what your building actually needs — not a one-size-fits-all package.

Can I view my cameras remotely?

Yes. Every system we install includes secure remote viewing from your phone or computer, so you can check on your facility from anywhere.

Do you service areas outside Des Moines?

Yes — INTEK is based in Des Moines and installs and services camera systems for businesses across the entire state of Iowa.

What camera platforms does INTEK install?

Our flagship is Avigilon Alta, Motorola Solutions' cloud video platform with AI-powered search and detection — the system we deployed for the Iowa State Fair. For budget-conscious projects we also install Ubiquiti UniFi Protect with on-site recording.

Surveillance Done Right

Coverage You Can Count On When It Counts

A camera system is only as good as its weakest blind spot. INTEK starts every surveillance project with a site walk: entrances, loading docks, cash-handling areas, parking lots, and the corners other installers miss.

Our flagship platform is Avigilon Alta — Motorola Solutions' cloud-native video security suite — the same system we deployed for the Iowa State Fair. For budget-conscious projects, we also design on-site systems built on Ubiquiti UniFi Protect.

We've designed and installed camera systems for warehouses, manufacturing floors, churches, schools, medical offices, retail stores, and large outdoor events across Iowa.

AI-powered search — find a person or vehicle in seconds with appearance search, instead of scrubbing hours of footage.
Proactive detection — line-crossing, loitering, and sound analytics that alert you in real time, before incidents escalate.
Secure remote viewing from your phone, tablet, or desktop — anywhere, anytime.
Cloud or on-site recording — Alta cloud retention with no NVR closet to maintain, or UniFi Protect local storage for tighter budgets.
Clean, professional installs — concealed cabling, labeled equipment, no mess left behind.

"The INTEK security camera system is easy to use and adjusts to our needs. The many features and alerts help us to keep our fairgrounds safe and secure. I would highly recommend this system to anyone seeking to enhance security at their facilities."

Randy Jones — Chief of Police, Iowa State Fair
