Security Cameras Without Monthly Fees: What Byron Center Homeowners Need to Know

Hard-wired camera installed with no monthly fees

Why I Don't Install Security Cameras with Monthly Fees

If you've been shopping for security cameras lately, you've probably noticed something: almost every system comes with a monthly subscription.

Ring, Nest, Arlo — they all want $10-20/month for cloud storage, video history, and basic features that should just... work.

As someone who installs security systems in Byron Center and the surrounding area, I get asked about this all the time. And honestly? I won't install subscription-based systems anymore.

Here's why.

The Monthly Fee Trap

Most wireless cameras look cheap upfront. But then you realize:

• You can't save footage without paying monthly

• Video history costs extra

• AI detection costs extra

• Downloading clips? That'll cost you too

And those prices go up. Every year.

How Hard-Wired Systems Are Different

With a Lorex NVR system, you pay once for equipment and installation. That's it.

No monthly bills. No cloud fees. No contracts.

Your footage records to a hard drive in your home, and you can access it anytime — forever.

If you're planning to stay in your house for years, it's a straightforward decision.

You Own Your System

With cloud cameras, your footage lives on someone else's servers. If the company changes policies, raises prices, or goes under — you're stuck.

With local storage, everything stays in your home. Private. Secure. Under your control.

Better Performance, Too

Hard-wired systems aren't just fee-free — they're more reliable:

• Continuous 4K recording

• No dropped footage from Wi-Fi issues

• No lag or delays

• No compression to save bandwidth

Why I Do It This Way

I've been building custom homes in West Michigan for 30 years. I know how to run wire cleanly and place cameras where they actually matter.

When you hire me, you get professional equipment, honest pricing, and a system you'll own outright.

No subscriptions. No surprises.
