Security Camera Installation for Kansas City Businesses
CyteWorks installs and manages UniFi Protect camera systems for Kansas City businesses, indoors and out. Footage records to a recorder in your building rather than a vendor cloud, and there are no per-camera license fees. We run the cable, mount the cameras, and support the system ourselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do your camera systems require a monthly subscription?
No. UniFi Protect records to a network video recorder on your premises, and Ubiquiti charges no per-camera licensing fee and no recording subscription, whether you run 4 cameras or 4,000. Advanced AI features are a one-time hardware purchase rather than a recurring cost. If you later choose to archive copies offsite, Protect sends them to a destination you already own, such as your Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or a NAS, so any storage cost sits with that provider rather than with us or Ubiquiti.
Where is my video actually stored, and who can see it?
Recordings are stored on the recorder in your building. When you view remotely, UniFi connects your phone or browser directly to that recorder whenever your network allows, and falls back to Ubiquiti’s own encrypted relay only when a direct connection is not possible. Either way the recordings themselves stay on your hardware. We do not upload your footage to a third-party video platform.
Which cameras do I need to read license plates?
License plate recognition runs natively on G6 and AI-series cameras with no accessory required, 360-degree models excepted. If you already have G4 or G5 cameras, plate and face recognition need an AI Port for real-time results or an AI Key for queued processing. Plate capture also depends heavily on mounting angle, distance, and lighting, so we would rather assess the site than sell you a camera that cannot see what you need it to see.
Do you install the cameras and cabling yourselves?
Yes. CyteWorks handles mounting, cabling, conduit, and configuration. We do not subcontract the physical work. If something is wrong with the install, the people who fix it are the people who did it.
