Why This Matters for Your Leasing Office

Security cameras at an apartment community serve double duty: they deter crime and they protect your management company from liability. When a vehicle break-in happens in the parking lot, when a resident disputes a lease violation, or when a slip-and-fall claim comes in — your camera footage is the first thing everyone asks for. But cameras only help if they’re properly positioned, reliably recording, and producing footage clear enough to actually use. Telesco designs and installs IP camera systems for apartment communities across San Antonio, Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Houston, and Houston, and Houston that deliver real, usable surveillance — not grainy footage from poorly placed cameras that haven’t been maintained in years.

What’s Included

Telesco installs high-definition IP camera systems using commercial-grade equipment from manufacturers like Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis. Every installation includes network video recorders (NVRs) sized for your camera count and retention needs — typically 30 to 90 days of continuous recording. We deploy a mix of camera types based on your property layout: dome cameras for covered walkways and building entries, bullet cameras for parking lots and perimeter coverage, and PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras for large open areas that need active monitoring. All cameras connect over your property’s IP network with Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power runs. Remote viewing is configured so your leasing staff and property managers can pull up live feeds or recorded footage from a smartphone, tablet, or computer — anywhere, anytime.

How We Work

Telesco starts with a property walkthrough to identify high-priority coverage areas: parking lots, building entries, mailbox stations, pool and amenity areas, dumpster enclosures, and the leasing office itself. We design a camera layout that eliminates blind spots while staying within your budget, then handle all mounting, cabling, network configuration, and NVR setup. Every camera is aimed and focused on-site — not just pointed in a general direction and left. After installation, we train your leasing staff on how to review footage, export clips for police reports or insurance claims, and manage the system day-to-day. Telesco provides ongoing support including firmware updates, camera re-aiming after landscaping changes, and NVR hard drive replacements when needed.

Common Scenarios We Solve

Properties running old analog CCTV systems with degraded footage quality and failing DVRs. Communities with cameras that were installed years ago and no longer record or can’t be accessed remotely. New construction projects that need a full camera system designed from the ground up. Properties that have experienced repeated vehicle break-ins or package theft and need targeted coverage in problem areas. Management companies that want centralized remote access to camera systems across multiple properties. Telesco handles all of it — and every system we install produces footage that’s actually useful when you need it.
