Is BTI the right fit?

BTI is built for organizations and sites that need reliable, serviced or monitored cameras for safety, liability and compliance. We're the right partner when video has to protect people, produce defensible evidence and stand up to an auditor, insurer or investigator, and when it has to work with everything else:

  • Safety: protecting employees, patients, students, tenants and visitors across buildings, parking areas, yards and perimeters.
  • Liability: clear, time-synced evidence for incidents, claims, disputes and investigations.
  • Compliance: retention, privacy, access logging, NDAA-compliant hardware and contract requirements, documented so you can show how footage is controlled.
  • Multi-site and integrated: one accountable integrator and one management view for video, access control, alarm, monitoring and the network behind them, across one site or many.

If your project is about risk, accountability and long-term support, we should talk.

Multi-site video management

One platform and policy set across every location: role-based access by site, central retention rules, health monitoring of cameras and recorders, and standard designs rolled out site by site.

Designed in System Surveyor before anything is installed

Every BTI camera project starts in System Surveyor, the site-survey and design platform. We place each camera on your floor plans or aerial imagery and model its lens, field of view, detection depth and pixel density, so you can see whether a face, a plate or an action will actually be identifiable before hardware is ordered. You receive an itemized design and quote for every site, and the design becomes the as-built record your team uses for years.

Integrated real-time analytics that shorten response time

Analytics are integrated with your access control, alarm and monitoring, so an alert arrives with video attached and the right person sees it while it's happening:

  • Line-crossing and intrusion detection for perimeters, roofs, yards, docks and restricted rooms.
  • Loitering and occupancy alerts at entrances, garages, lobbies and stairwells.
  • Person and vehicle classification that ignores foliage, weather, shadows and headlights, so alerts mean something.
  • Door-forced and door-held events from access control paired with the matching camera view.
  • Forensic search by object type, color, direction and time, so investigations take minutes.
  • Alerts routed to your security staff, a monitoring center or mobile devices.

Learn more about our video analytics software, or how to add AI analytics to your existing cameras.

LPR, facial recognition, pattern recognition and custom AI tuning

Out-of-the-box analytics produce missed plates, false matches and alert fatigue. BTI tunes them on site, for your scenes and schedules:

  • License plate recognition (LPR): camera angle, shutter, IR and capture zone set for vehicle speed and lighting at gates, garages, lots and fleet yards, with watchlist alerts and searchable plate history.
  • Facial recognition (where lawful and approved): configured with your leadership, HR and counsel, and with state biometric privacy laws such as Illinois BIPA and California CCPA/CPRA in mind, with a documented policy before it is enabled.
  • Pattern recognition: recurring behavior such as repeat after-hours vehicles, tailgating at doors or loitering patterns, surfaced as alerts and reports.
  • Custom AI applications: detection models, zones and schedules configured for your site, then reviewed after a burn-in period to cut false alarms.

See how we apply Milestone XProtect AI and open VMS analytics.

Thermal and radar for rooftop solar and critical infrastructure

Thermal cameras and radar extend detection where visible-light cameras fall short:

  • Rooftop solar: thermal cameras monitor rooftop solar arrays for abnormal temperatures and detect intruders on the roof at night.
  • Critical-infrastructure intrusion detection: at substations, water and wastewater facilities, utility yards and other critical sites, radar tracks movement across wide areas and cues PTZ cameras, and thermal detects people and vehicles in darkness, fog, smoke and glare.
  • Together they give earlier warning along long perimeters, with fewer false alarms than standard motion detection, and alarms can be verified by monitoring with video.

Platforms: we choose per site, not per vendor

Cloud, on-premises or hybrid: see our cloud-based video surveillance options and the Brivo and Eagle Eye cloud platform.

Network and cybersecurity: the part most camera vendors skip

A camera system is part of your IT attack surface. BTI designs PoE and VLANs, segments camera traffic, hardens cameras and recorders, secures remote access, recommends NDAA-compliant cameras where required and keeps firmware current. BTI is ISO 27001 compliant and a Cisco Select partner, and our NOC/SOC is SOC 2 certified.

Integrated with access control and alarms

Security camera integration links video to door events and alarm signals, so operators can verify an event with footage in seconds instead of searching recorders. BTI designs, installs and supports cameras, access control, intrusion alarms and monitoring as one system, under one integrator and one support agreement.

Monitoring, maintenance and support after go-live

BTI monitors camera and recorder health so a failed camera or full drive is caught before you need the footage, maintains firmware and manages user access. Our SOC 2 certified NOC/SOC (ConnectWise) has handled 10,000+ alerts with zero missed, engineers reply within one business day, and 98% of our clients stay with us. We also take over systems another integrator installed.

San Gabriel Valley Water Company

San Gabriel Valley Water Company is a privately owned water utility serving approximately 94,000 customers in Southern California. BTI acts as its single-source provider of VoIP, network and physical security systems, down to wiring, conduit and cybersecurity monitoring.

“We utilize all their IT services to help maintain infrastructure and security, including daily monitoring and reporting. It relieves some of the pressure because we do not have to constantly monitor and check ourselves. They streamline the process.” — Jeff Johnston, Network System Administrator, SGVW

Frequently asked questions

Can you manage cameras across all our locations from one place?

Yes. We standardize designs and deploy platforms such as AXIS Camera Station, Avigilon Unity and Alta, Bosch video with IQSIGHT, YourSix and Cisco Meraki MV, so every site is visible and searchable from one interface with role-based access by site.

Can video integrate with our existing access control or alarm system?

In most cases, yes. We tie door events and alarm signals to video so operators can verify events with live or recorded footage, and one BTI team supports cameras, doors and intrusion systems.

Do you tune LPR, facial recognition and AI analytics?

Yes. We tune license plate recognition, facial recognition where lawful and approved, pattern recognition and custom AI detection on site, then review results after a burn-in period to cut false alarms.

Do you offer thermal cameras and radar?

Yes. We design thermal and radar detection for rooftop solar arrays and for perimeter intrusion at substations, water facilities and other critical infrastructure sites.

Cloud vs. on-premises: which platforms do you support?

We support cloud, on-premises and hybrid video, including Axis, Avigilon Unity and Alta, Bosch with IQSIGHT, YourSix and Cisco Meraki MV, and recommend a platform per site based on bandwidth, retention and IT policy.

Can you take over support of a system another vendor installed?

Yes. We assess the existing cameras, recorders and network, fix urgent issues, document the system and bring it under BTI support and monitoring.

Which licenses does BTI hold?

BTI holds California BSIS Alarm Company Operator license ACO 7670 and California C-7 license 807767; Illinois IDFPR Private Alarm Contractor Agency license 127.001638; and Arizona BTR Alarm Business license 22913-0 plus Arizona ROC license 331189 (C-67 Low Voltage). BTI is also ISO 27001 compliant.
