Call (416) 219-1347Serving Burlington
Burlington runs from the Lake Ontario shoreline up to the Niagara Escarpment, which means our electricians see a genuinely wide range of housing: lakeside estate homes in Roseland and Shoreacres, post-war bungalows in Aldershot near the Hamilton border, and fast-growing subdivisions in Alton Village and The Orchard that are still being built out in the city’s north end. We provide panel upgrades, EV charger installations, and lighting work sized to whichever end of that range a property falls on, along with commercial electrical service for businesses along the Harvester Road and QEW corridor.
In Aldershot and around the GO station, older post-war bungalows sit alongside a growing number of mid-rise condo developments, so we see both traditional panel upgrades and in-suite electrical work coordinated with property managers. Lakeside homes in Roseland and Shoreacres, many built from the 1950s through the 1970s on larger lots, often call us for panel upgrades and backyard lighting design as part of a renovation, and pool or boathouse wiring comes up more often here than elsewhere in Burlington. In Millcroft’s golf course community and the newer streets of The Orchard and Alton Village further north, most calls are EV charger installations and smart lighting rather than panel replacements, since the housing stock is newer. Escarpment-adjacent lots near the north end sometimes mean rock or shallow soil conditions that affect how we run exterior circuits for generators or landscape lighting.

Security Camera Installation in Burlington: What to Expect
Aldershot’s post-war bungalows typically need all-new wiring for a camera system, while its growing number of mid-rise condos limit us to in-suite or balcony coverage, coordinated with property management for anything on a shared exterior wall. Lakeside estate homes in Roseland and Shoreacres, often on larger lots with a pool, dock, or boathouse, need coverage extended well past the house itself, and those additional structures are usually the reason a system there ends up bigger than a standard suburban install. Millcroft, The Orchard, and Alton Village’s newer streets often have builder-left conduit to build on, and escarpment-adjacent lots in the north end sometimes mean routing cable around exposed rock or shallow soil when a camera needs to reach a detached garage or shed.
More about our work in Burlington
Overview
We provide security camera installation for homes and businesses throughout Burlington, including Aldershot, Roseland, Shoreacres, Millcroft, and the rest of Burlington.
A security camera system is only as reliable as the wiring and power behind it. We install and wire security camera systems for homes and businesses, including PoE (Power over Ethernet) IP cameras, traditional CCTV/DVR setups, and NVR recorder installations, running new low-voltage cable where none exists, installing dedicated circuits and PoE switches for camera power, and mounting cameras for solid coverage of entrances, driveways, and blind spots. Electrovoltage works with homeowners, retail and commercial property owners, and general contractors on new camera systems, expansions to existing setups, and rewiring jobs where cameras were originally installed with underrated or exposed cabling.
- PoE & traditional CCTV/DVR wiring
- Dedicated circuits for PoE switches & recorders
- Camera mounting & coverage planning included
Why It Matters
Most security camera problems trace back to power and wiring, not the camera itself: a PoE switch that can’t supply enough wattage for the number of cameras connected, cable runs that weren’t rated for outdoor exposure and degrade within a season, or a DVR/NVR powered from a shared outlet that browns out when the system draws a startup surge. Camera placement also depends on where power and data can actually reach, so planning the electrical and low-voltage wiring alongside camera positions, rather than mounting cameras first and figuring out power after, is what determines whether the finished system actually covers what it’s meant to.
How Security Camera Installation Works
- 1
Site walkthrough & coverage planning
We review your property, identify entrances, driveways, and blind spots to cover, and plan camera positions against realistic cable and power routing.
- 2
Power & PoE planning
We size PoE switches and injectors or dedicated circuits for your camera count, and check panel capacity for the recorder and network equipment.
- 3
Wiring installation
We run new low-voltage or PoE cabling rated for indoor or outdoor use, or work with existing cabling where it’s in good condition.
- 4
Mounting, testing & handover
We mount cameras, connect and test every camera feed against the recorder or app, and confirm stable power before we leave.
What Affects the Cost
Aldershot bungalow jobs are priced for new wiring, Roseland and Shoreacres estate jobs cost more due to additional coverage of a pool, dock, or boathouse, and Millcroft/Orchard/Alton Village installs often come in lower where builder conduit is reusable, aside from added cost when escarpment rock affects cable routing.
Cost depends on the number of cameras and whether cabling is PoE or traditional CCTV, how much new low-voltage wiring needs to be run and how accessible that route is, whether a dedicated circuit is needed for the PoE switch or recorder, and whether the job includes an NVR/DVR setup or integrates with an existing recorder.
Frequently Asked Questions
- My property in Shoreacres has a dock — can that get its own camera?
- Yes, and it usually should. Waterfront properties in Roseland and Shoreacres often extend coverage to a dock or boathouse in addition to the house, which is one of the reasons those systems tend to be larger.
- My condo is in Aldershot — can you install cameras covering the building’s parking area?
- Not without going through property management, since parking and other common areas are the building’s responsibility. What we install directly is limited to in-suite or balcony-facing cameras.
- Do you install PoE security cameras or only traditional CCTV?
- We install both. For PoE (Power over Ethernet) IP camera systems we size and wire the PoE switch or injectors correctly, and for traditional CCTV/DVR setups we run the coax and power cabling needed for each camera.
- Can you add cameras to a system that already exists?
- Yes, we regularly extend existing camera systems, adding cameras to spare NVR or DVR channels, or upgrading the PoE switch if the existing one doesn’t have capacity for more cameras.
- Do you run new wiring if my property has none?
- Yes, we run new low-voltage or PoE cabling rated for indoor or outdoor use to wherever cameras need to go, including routing through finished walls, attics, or exterior siding.
- Why do my cameras keep dropping offline or losing power?
- This is usually a power issue: a PoE switch undersized for the number of cameras connected, or a DVR/NVR sharing a circuit that can’t supply a stable load. We size the power supply correctly for your camera count.
- Do you install the NVR or DVR recorder as well as the cameras?
- Yes, we install and wire the recorder, connect and test every camera feed, and confirm the system is accessible on your network or app before we finish.
- How much does security camera installation cost?
- Cost depends on your camera count, whether the system is PoE or traditional CCTV, how much new wiring needs to be run, and whether a dedicated circuit is needed. We provide a clear quote after reviewing your property.
