What you get
One free request connects you with licensed, insured local installers who specialize in exactly this kind of job. You compare free quotes and choose — or walk away.
100% wireless with up to 7-year battery life and hub-based jamming protection. Clean app, no monthly storage fees. Best for wireless homes and businesses that want a premium, cable-free install — at a higher upfront cost.
One app for cameras, networking, and access control. Local NVR storage with no fees and excellent build quality. Best for tech-savvy homes and SMBs — ideally if you already run a UniFi network.
The largest camera lineup and resolution options at the lowest cost per camera, with huge installer familiarity across Ontario. Best for budget-conscious and large multi-camera setups — setup is more complex for non-pros.
All three brands offer motion and smart detection. Ajax and UniFi filter alerts well out of the box; Hikvision and Dahua offer deep AI lineups (people, vehicles, plates) ideal for larger coverage.
Whichever brand you choose, every pro in our network is background-checked, licensed, and insured — so your property and your system are protected.
One request, multiple free quotes. Compare brands, prices, and pros side by side, then choose — or walk away. Always free for homeowners.

FAQ
There's no single best — it depends on your property. Ajax is wireless-first and pro-grade but costs more upfront. UniFi is ideal if you already run a UniFi network and want one app for everything with no subscription. Hikvision and Dahua offer the widest selection and the lowest cost per camera, making them best for larger multi-camera setups. Tell us your priorities in the quote form and matched installers will recommend the right fit.
Not necessarily. Ajax and UniFi both support local NVR storage with no ongoing fees, and Hikvision / Dahua can be configured with local NVR storage too. Cloud storage is optional on all three. If avoiding a subscription is important to you, mention it in your request and your matched installer will design a no-fee setup.
Relative to each other, Hikvision / Dahua is the most cost-effective per camera ($), UniFi sits in the middle ($$), and Ajax carries the highest upfront hardware cost ($$$). Installed system prices typically range from the mid-hundreds for a basic setup to a few thousand for a full multi-camera system. Your free quotes will be exact and based on your property.
Mixing brands is possible but usually not recommended, since each platform has its own app, NVR, and management interface. Most homeowners pick one ecosystem for a clean experience. If you already own some equipment, your matched installer can advise on what's compatible and what to keep.
