Security Camera Installation in Bend & Redmond, OR

HD indoor and outdoor surveillance camera systems with remote viewing for homes and businesses throughout Central Oregon.

Beard Electric installs security camera systems for homes and businesses throughout Central Oregon. A well-designed camera system lets you see what’s happening on your property in real time and review recorded footage when you need it.

We start by walking the property with you to identify the areas you want to cover — entry points, driveways, parking areas, outbuildings, or specific interior spaces. From that we determine the number of cameras needed, the best mounting locations, and the type of camera that works for each position. Wide-angle cameras work well for large open areas; varifocal cameras let us zoom in on specific zones like a gate or cash register.

All wiring is run neatly through walls, attic spaces, or conduit. We install the NVR or DVR, configure the system, set up remote viewing on your phone or computer, and walk you through how to use it before we leave.

For businesses, we can integrate cameras with access control systems and security alarms so that a door opening after hours triggers both a camera recording and an alarm notification. We also install cameras for construction sites, rental properties, and vacation homes where remote monitoring is particularly valuable.

We install and service what we sell. If a camera fails or you need to expand the system later, call us.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between IP cameras and analog cameras?

IP (network) cameras transmit digital video over an ethernet network and generally offer higher resolution, more flexible placement, and easier remote access than analog cameras. Analog cameras use coaxial cable and a DVR. For most new installations we recommend IP cameras with a network video recorder (NVR), but we can work with either system.

Can I view my cameras remotely on my phone?

Yes. Most modern camera systems support remote viewing through a smartphone app. We configure remote access as part of the installation and make sure it’s working before we leave.

How much storage do I need for camera footage?

Storage requirements depend on the number of cameras, the resolution you’re recording at, and how many days of footage you want to retain. We size the NVR or DVR storage during the design phase so you have enough capacity for your retention needs. Most systems also support motion-triggered recording, which reduces storage usage significantly.

Can cameras be installed outdoors in Central Oregon weather?

Yes. We use cameras rated for outdoor use with appropriate IP ratings for moisture and dust resistance. Cameras installed in exposed locations are also positioned to minimize direct sun and precipitation where possible, which extends their lifespan.
