Security Camera Installation Requires More Than Mounting
A security camera system is only as effective as its installation. For more than 50 years, Winston-Salem homeowners and businesses have trusted Caudill’s Electric to install security camera systems, backed by licensed electrical expertise for reliable, code-compliant performance.
Every installation is designed to provide:
- Complete coverage of entry points and vulnerable areas
- Minimal blind spots with optimal camera placement
- Reliable power and network connectivity
- Clean, concealed wiring
- Code-compliant electrical installation
- Capacity to expand as your security needs grow
Unlike security-only installers, Caudill’s Electric handles both the electrical work and camera installation, giving you a safer, more reliable system from day one.
Installation Challenges by Property Type
| Historic Homes (Old Salem, Ardmore, West End) | Newer Homes (Clemmons, Lewisville, Brookberry Farms) |
|---|---|
| Plaster-and-lathe walls make cable routing more complex. | Electrical panels may be operating near capacity. |
| Masonry construction can limit mounting and wiring options. | Additional cameras can increase electrical demand. |
| Historic finishes require careful installation to avoid damage. | Wi-Fi coverage gaps can impact camera performance. |
| Aging electrical systems may require upgrades or modifications. | Network infrastructure may need enhancement to support multiple cameras. |
| Architectural preservation requirements can restrict installation methods. | Systems are often designed with future camera and smart-home expansion in mind. |
Our electricians evaluate each property’s construction, electrical capacity, and network infrastructure before installation to ensure the system performs reliably and integrates cleanly with the home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install cameras on a historic home without damaging the walls?
Yes. Our electricians have routed wiring through plaster-and-lathe walls and historic masonry across Winston-Salem’s older neighborhoods for decades. We plan every run before any work begins and follow preservation guidelines for listed properties.
Should I choose wired or wireless cameras?
Wired systems deliver the most stable performance for permanent installations. Wireless cameras work where running cable isn’t practical. We evaluate your specific property and recommend based on your building’s electrical capacity and layout.
How much storage does a camera system need?
Recording at 1080p with motion activation requires approximately 500 GB-1 TB per camera for 30 days of footage. We size storage based on camera count and your preferred retention period.
What happens to recordings during an internet outage?
Wired systems record to on-site hard drives regardless of internet status. Remote viewing requires a connection, but local recording continues uninterrupted.
