Surveillance Video

What Surveillance Video does

Surveillance Video (Surveillance-Video.com) is a privately held, New York–based e-commerce retailer specializing in video surveillance and physical security equipment, claiming over 45 years of operating history. The company serves three core customer segments — residential homeowners, commercial businesses, and government/military agencies (with a dedicated government sales line) — through a direct-to-consumer website supplemented by toll-free phone sales and a B2B quote system. It operates as an authorized reseller of more than 100 manufacturer brands, with Axis Communications, Hikvision, Pelco, Bosch, Dahua, Samsung/Hanwha Vision, Google Nest, and Ring among the most prominently featured.

The product catalog spans complete camera systems (4 to 128 cameras), individual security cameras across every major form factor (bullet, dome, PTZ, license plate, hidden, thermal, wireless, 360/180), recording hardware (DVR, NVR, HD, hybrid), monitors, networking and transmission equipment, burglar alarms, access control, GPS tracking, audio/intercom systems, and a dedicated NDAA-Compliant category for government procurement. Pricing ranges from approximately $17 for entry-level PoE accessories to over $35,733 for high-end professional systems, with free shipping on orders above $450 and a Low Price Guarantee. The company does not manufacture any products; its value proposition is one-stop procurement breadth, multi-brand expertise, NDAA-compliant inventory for federal buyers, and verified review/certification credibility (BBB, Reseller Ratings, Shopper Approved).

Revenue is generated entirely through one-time product sales via the e-commerce storefront, phone orders, and quote-driven B2B transactions, with international shipping available subject to buyer-borne duties. No subscription, software, installation, or recurring-service revenue stream is disclosed. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, and the company is independently owned with no disclosed investors, parent entities, subsidiaries, or M&A history.
