Deployment

From site walk to live network.

A Crime Watch Box deployment is an infrastructure project — scoped like one, installed like one, and supported like one. Here's how it runs.

The process

Five phases. One accountable team.

Phase 1

Site assessment

We walk your property — day and night conditions matter — and identify where visibility, isolation, and traffic argue for a unit. You get a placement map, not a guess.

Phase 2

Design & proposal

Unit configurations, camera coverage, connectivity paths, power, and call routing — documented in a proposal with clear line-item pricing.

Phase 3

Installation

Licensed technicians handle mounting, wire runs, network links, and commissioning, coordinated around your property's operations.

Phase 4

Integration & testing

Call routing is configured to your procedures, video joins your monitoring workflow, and every unit is call-tested end to end before handoff.

Phase 5

Support

Ongoing maintenance and support keep the network dependable — because emergency infrastructure only counts if it works every time.

Optionally

Phased rollout

Many properties start with the highest-risk placements and expand by budget cycle. The network is designed to grow.

Placement principles

What we look for on the site walk.

  • Sightlines — a unit should be visible from the areas it serves, and its cameras should see what matters
  • Real routes — where people actually walk after dark, not where the site plan assumes they do
  • Isolation points — far parking rows, stair cores, path segments out of view of any building
  • Spacing & coverage — units placed so help is never an unreasonable distance away
  • Practical infrastructure — power and connectivity reality for each placement, wired or not

Customer responsibilities

What we'll need from your side.

Deployments go fastest when responsibilities are clear from day one. Typical customer-side items:

Site access

Escorted or badged access for the assessment walk and installation windows.

Response procedures

A decision on who answers calls and how escalation should run — we help you shape this.

Infrastructure info

Site plans, existing network and power documentation where available.
