More and more homeowners in Grandville, MI are replacing their old wireless cameras with modern hard-wired systems — and there are good reasons for it. As a local installer who works throughout Grandville, Byron Center, and the surrounding areas, I see firsthand what works, what fails, and what homeowners really want from their security system.

And the trend is clear: Grandville homeowners are choosing professionally installed hard-wired systems because they offer better reliability, better clarity, and zero monthly fees.

Here’s why this shift is happening.


Hard-Wired Systems Don’t Drop Signal

Grandville neighborhoods have a wide range of home layouts — split levels, two-story homes, ranch styles, and everything in between. Wireless cameras struggle with:

  • Brick or stone exteriors

  • Thick interior walls

  • Long Wi-Fi distances

  • Competing networks

  • Michigan weather

A hard-wired Lorex system eliminates all those issues.You get a direct cable connection from camera to NVR, which means:

  • No “offline” messages

  • No pixelation

  • No lag

  • No missed recordings

It just works — 24/7.


Better Night Vision and Clearer Footage

For security, clarity is everything.When something happens — a car break-in, a package theft, or suspicious activity — you want usable footage, not blurry video.

Hard-wired cameras deliver:

  • True 4K resolution

  • Clean color night vision

  • Higher bitrates

  • Smooth motion

Grandville homeowners have told me time and time again:“This is the clearest footage I’ve ever seen.”


Local Recording = Better Privacy

Wireless cameras rely on the cloud for storage. That means your footage may be stored on remote servers — and often requires a monthly subscription fee.

With a wired NVR system:

  • Your footage stays in your home

  • You control access

  • You never pay subscription fees

  • Your data isn’t tied to a corporation

For many families, this is the biggest deciding factor.


No Monthly Fees — Ever

A major reason Grandville homeowners are switching to hard-wired systems is simple:

They’re tired of monthly fees.

Most wireless cameras require:

  • Cloud subscriptions

  • Additional “event history” plans

  • Paid add-ons for better features

A wired Lorex system is paid for once — and that’s it. No cloud fees, no contracts, just full ownership.


Professional Installation Makes a Huge Difference

Clean wiring. Proper camera angles. Hidden cables. Correct soffit mounting. Optimal NVR placement.

When homeowners hire a professional Grandville security camera installer, the entire system just works better and looks better.

As someone with 30 years of homebuilding experience, I install systems the right way — neat, secure, and built to last.


Considering an Upgrade?

If you live in

Grandville, now is the perfect time to upgrade to a reliable, hard-wired system. You’ll get better clarity, better coverage, and a system you actually own.
