Installation Day: What Homeowners Can Expect

CountBricks technicians arrive with a pre-packed kit labeled per room, reducing setup time. Cable runs follow the least invasive routes—often through existing crawlspaces in Portland’s older homes. Once mounted, cameras are aimed with a mobile calibration tool that streams live images to the homeowner’s phone.

Five Pro Tips for Maximizing Your System

• Schedule installs during dry months—Oregon rain slows exterior caulking cure times

• Combine security cameras with smart lighting for deterrence and clearer night footage

• Use separate VLANs on your router to keep camera traffic isolated

• Enable cloud backups for critical footage beyond the local NVR

• Request a yearly CountBricks health check to clean lenses and update firmware

CountBricks Case Snapshot: Laurelhurst Bungalow Upgrade

The owners of a 1925 Laurelhurst bungalow wanted discreet coverage without disturbing historic trim. Using CountBricks AI blueprint takeoffs, our team identified existing attic voids perfect for routing Cat6 cable, eliminating visible conduit.

Project Highlights

• Four low-profile dome cameras matched to cedar soffits and painted to blend with the façade

• NVR tucked behind a false panel in the basement laundry to preserve living-space aesthetics

• Integration with existing smart lights so motion events trigger pathway illumination

Outcome

Installation time: 6 hours, zero drywall cuts required, and a 22 % cost saving versus the homeowners’ original manual estimate. The AI-generated plan reduced material overruns by forecasting exact cable lengths down to the foot.
