Watchdogs Surveillance

Specializing in Assessment and Installation of Surveillance Systems for Retail, Commercial, Publics Utility and Industrial Properties.

Serving the greater Sacramento are since 2005. Still serving an ever growing customer base in 2024 despite what some websites may report. We install advanced video surveillance systems. We do not build a fancy website nor do we advertise other than this basic website.

At Watchdogs Surveillance we can upgrade or expand your current system using existing infrastructure, work with your subcontractors or install a turnkey system with cellular internet if needed. We also offer self contained surveillance systems with solar power and cellular modems for monitoring and remote access.

It is all about timely support with security. All customers have a direct cell number to call and just about all remote support is instant (we can configure your entire system from our phones). Customers do not have to wait for support and we do not withhold timely support if you do not pay for a monthly service plan. We offer service plans but they are not required nor are any other monthly fees.

We recommend GeoVision NOT Hikvision, Dahua or LTS (OEM of Hikvision) systems. Many installers still install equipment that has been deemed by the U.S. Government as a national security threat for several years now and will most likely be banned soon. Not just the systems themselves pose a threat but also any device/network that connects to the system.

Watchdogs Surveillance is based in Folsom California (Sacramento area) and is family owned and operated. We serve customers and not investors. By taking every effort to lower our overhead, we are typically able to install systems at a much lower cost than our competition. The lower cost in no way reflects lower quality. We have installed systems at water treatment plants, airports, a power plant, government and mostly commercial installations such as apartments and gated communities. There is no red tape or bureaucracy to overcome and we take ownership of the entire project life cycle as well as any support/service that may be required.

Watchdogs Surveillance is spear headed by Olaf and Lucie Kroettinger. Olaf has an Engineering degree from CSUS (California State University, Sacramento) which was followed by a MBA (Masters in Business Administration) and of course a California Contractors License. Lucie graduated from the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point and also continued her education with an MBA. At Watchdogs Surveillance we realize that complete customer satisfaction is the key to running a successful business. About 99% of our business stems from repeat customers and referrals. This website is our only marketing and we have it only because we should 🙂

Please note, despite of what some websites or search engines may believe, we are still in business with an ever growing customer base. We simply do not have a physical store front. We have been installing GeoVision systems since 2005 and plan to keep installing and servicing the systems for many years to come.

The State of California requires a State Contractors License to install or service surveillance equipment. 

Licensed contractors always carry liability insurance. Please consider YOUR liability if your installer is not a licensed contractor!

• Troubleshooting Tips:
• Never underestimate the value of a reboot.
• If you change anything and it does not fix your problem, change it back!
• Don’t just check the connection in question, disconnect and reconnect.
• ‘No’ information is better than ‘bad’ information – Distinguish between Facts and Assumptions.

If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
