Ghost Smart Homes Managed · Surveillance
Free 15-min camera-health review

Cameras that catch what matters. Not what doesn't.

You don't need 47 alerts a day for the wind. You need to know when someone's actually at the door. We tune your cameras, redundantly back up the footage, and send you a weekly summary of what mattered — so cameras stop being noise.

Local-first. Footage lives on your NVR. Cloud backup. Belt and suspenders. No monthly camera tax. Pay for management, not gigabytes.
What you get

Surveillance that earns its keep.

Most camera systems are either expensive cloud subscriptions that own your footage, or DIY rigs that drown you in false positives. We picked a third option.

False-positive tuning

We profile every camera against the things you actually want to see. Cars on the road get ignored. People in the driveway don't. We update the rules continuously.

Weekly review summary

Every Monday: a one-page email of what your cameras saw, the events that mattered, and any health issues we flagged. No scrubbing through hours of footage.

Redundant storage

Footage stays on your NVR (UniFi Protect, Frigate, Synology — your choice). Important events back up to encrypted cloud automatically. If a camera or hard drive dies, you don't lose what mattered.

How it works

Review, tune, run.

Free review

15 minutes screen-share or in-person. We look at what you have, count the false alerts, check the storage, and tell you whether to add or replace. No judgment if it's a Wyze.

Tune or upgrade

If your gear is good, we just tune it. If you need more, we'll quote add-ons or a fresh design. Frigate or UniFi Protect for most homes; Synology Surveillance Station for bigger setups.

Quiet, ongoing care

Each month we tune, patch firmware, validate backups, and email you the summary. If something stops working overnight, we know before you do.

Pricing

Pay for management, not for storage.

Most cloud-camera plans charge per camera per month. We charge a flat fee for managing the system. Footage stays local on hardware you own.

Questions

The honest answers.

Will footage be admissible if I need it for an investigation?

We design with chain-of-custody in mind: timestamped, hash-verified clips, exported with a signed manifest. We can't promise outcomes — that's up to your local prosecutor — but we won't be the reason it gets thrown out. Details in our service agreement.

Do you support Ring / Nest / Wyze?

We can manage them, but the cloud-only architecture means we have less to work with than open systems. We'll usually recommend migrating to Frigate or UniFi Protect over time. Your call.

What about my privacy?

Footage stays on your NVR. We see what we need to manage the system — health, alerts, configs — and that's it. We never sell footage and we'll never train AI on it. Hard rule.

Can you tie cameras into automations?

Yes — pair this with our Managed Home Assistant line and "front door has a person between 10pm and 6am" can flip on the porch light, ping you, and start a higher-resolution recording.

What's the install side look like?

Quoted separately. Typical home: $799–$3,999 depending on cabling, camera count, and whether we need an NVR. We prefer wired PoE; we'll do wireless when wired isn't possible.

Is there a contract?

No. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime — your gear and your footage are yours.
