The Design Process
Intuitive design is critical to the success of a security system. Hoosier Security designs all aspects of your security system implementation including camera placement, bandwidth calculations, storage, infrastructure, and even cybersecurity.
Your participation is part of the design
We don’t presume to decide what’s important for your business—there’s always an ideal system for an ideal budget—but that said, we understand budget constraints mean there are compromises that need to be addressed as we come to the ideal solution. As our owner, Armando Perez, would say, “We like to let the customer decide what their compromise is. We educate. We make strong suggestions. We consider budgets, what parts are being used, and whether we’re actually solving the problem.“
With a Hoosier Security designed system, you see exactly what you save by going in different directions. You, the customer, get to take part in the process and make decisions in real-time.
The best equipment for your situation
A lot of consultants are going to use the same three or four brands of equipment because of profit margins or a business tie to the manufacturer. That’s not the case with us.
We always offer carefully researched options and can explain the pluses and minuses of each decision. We are independent of formal ties—because we want to choose the right piece of equipment for the right application.
The right design for the right solution
If you’re in the market for a new surveillance system, you’re trying to solve a problem. Our design process lets us dig deeper so we can find, understand, and deliver a solution to address your specific security issues.
Learn more about our design process below:
1) Site Visit, 2) 3D Renderings, 3) Initial Proposal, and 4) Installation.
1. Site Visit
Our surveillance system design process typically begins with scheduling a site visit with you. During our visit we’ll listen to your surveillance needs, discuss what level of clarity you would like the cameras to have, and go over a variety of features available to help ensure we suggest the right surveillance solution for you. There is no cookie cutter approach to surveillance and we approach each project with the same goal in mind, to propose a solution that makes the most sense for our customer. It helps us if we can take a quick tour of your facility while we’re there so you can show us exactly what you want the cameras to see. Most site visits last less than an hour and you can usually expect our proposal within a few days after our first meeting.
2. 3D Renderings
Any floor plans you have of your facility will help us with our next step in our process. We will use these files with our design software which will allow us to create 3D renderings of what the cameras will see. This gives you a really good idea of what the camera coverage will be and takes away any of the guesswork. You’ll know exactly what field of view the cameras will have, and how clear they’ll be.

3. Initial Proposal
We’ll put together an initial proposal, listen to any feedback you may have, and make any adjustments needed. If you approve our proposal, the next step is to schedule another visit at your facility with our installation manager. We’ll do another walkthrough and go over each camera location again and make sure everyone is on the same page.
4. Installation
Your installation will follow shortly after this and as we install the cameras we’ll show you the video as we sight the cameras in and adjust them as necessary. Lastly, we’ll set up your remote view access to your system and provide you with comprehensive training on your new surveillance system. Click here to learn more about the installation process.
