DIY Security Camera Installation in Brooklyn, NY
Assisted DIY Installation is Secure IT Global's hybrid service for homeowners and small businesses who want to install their own security cameras but don't want to guess at equipment, wiring, or setup. We consult on your property, supply the exact cameras, cables, and instructions you need, and send a technician onsite to finish the NVR and remote-viewing configuration once you've completed the physical installation — all for a flat $300.
Based out of Marine Park, Brooklyn, our technicians regularly handle Assisted DIY projects for homeowners in Mill Basin, Gerritsen Beach, and Bergen Beach. As an authorized Uniview and Hanwha Techwin partner, we provide original, authentic equipment you can rely on — including NDAA-compliant Uniview and Hanwha Wisenet options — pairing hands-on experience with remote guidance to keep costs down without cutting corners. Prefer a fully professional install instead? Our full-service CCTV installation team covers the same neighborhoods.
Why pay $2,000+ for full professional installation when you can save thousands?
You handle the mounting and cable running on your own schedule. We handle the planning, the parts list, and the final configuration — so the result is still done right.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Assisted DIY security camera installation?
A hybrid service: Secure IT Global consults on your property, supplies the exact cameras, cables, and equipment you need with written instructions, then a technician comes onsite to finish configuring the NVR and remote viewing once you've completed the physical installation.
How much does Assisted DIY Installation cost?
The base service is $300, covering consultation, planning, and final onsite configuration. An optional pre-crimped cable add-on is available for $40 (up to 4 cameras, then $15 per additional camera).
Do I need experience to install the cameras myself?
Basic comfort with tools (drilling, mounting, running cable) is helpful. You'll receive written instructions matched to your exact property and equipment, and our DIY installation guide covers both indoor and outdoor setups step by step.
What's the pre-crimped cable option, and why would I need it?
For outdoor runs or cable that has to pass through a wall, we pre-terminate one end of the cable with an RJ45 connector. You run the cable through the wall without needing a large hole for a bulky plug, and we crimp the NVR-side end when we arrive onsite.
If a camera I installed myself breaks, am I still covered?
Manufacturer warranty coverage depends on that manufacturer's policy, but as an authorized dealer, we help facilitate the process — bring the unit to our office and we'll test it and confirm the issue.
Do you offer full professional installation instead?
Yes. See our CCTV Security Camera Installation page, or ask us about our installer partners across NYC and other states.
