Owl Vision Solutions provides security camera installation in Markham for homes and businesses. Based on Woodbine Avenue, our team installs wired CCTV cameras, plans concealed cable routes and sets up local recording and phone access, with a walkthrough at handover.
Markham is home base for us. A site visit in Unionville, Cornell or Berczy is a short drive, and the same team that quotes the job designs it, installs it and comes back if something needs attention. Founded in 2020, our team has more than 10 years of hands-on experience and completes around 100 residential and commercial projects a year. Every installation comes with a 2-year warranty on labour and equipment, and we carry $2 million in liability insurance and WSIB coverage.

What a Markham Camera Installation Includes
- Wired PoE cameras. One network cable carries power and video to each camera, so there are no batteries to charge and no cameras dropping off a busy Wi-Fi network.
- 4K and colour night-vision cameras. Colour night vision keeps clothing and car colours visible after dark, which is what you need when you go back through footage.
- Person and vehicle detection. Alerts for people and cars instead of every tree branch, snowfall or headlight.
- Active-deterrence cameras with a built-in light and siren that can react when someone walks up the driveway at night.
- Local recording, no cloud fee. Footage records to a recorder in your home that you own. You watch live and play back from your phone.
- Outdoor-rated cameras mounted under soffits or on brick, chosen for year-round use outside.
- Cameras that match your house. We install white and black models, so cameras blend into light or dark trim instead of standing out.
- Setup and handover. We set up the app on your phone, show you how to find footage and hand over the admin passwords. The system is yours.
Hidden Wiring in Finished Markham Homes
If you want no wires showing outside your Markham home, we check the available cable routes during the site visit. In most detached homes and townhouses we run cable through the attic and drop it into the soffit, so each camera sits on a clean wall or eave with nothing stapled across the siding or brick. Where a short section can’t be hidden, we keep it tight in a corner against the trim.
Two recent examples: concealed cameras for two new homes in Markham, and matte black cameras fished inside a dark soffit so no cable shows outside.
New Builds in Cornell, Wismer, Box Grove and Cathedraltown
Planning security for a new Markham home starts with checking the construction stage and available cable routes. If you can bring us in before the drywall goes up, we can pre-wire for cameras and network so every camera location already has a cable waiting. After closing, we install with concealed wiring and clean up before we leave, because nobody wants drywall dust in a brand-new home.
Upgrading an Old or Orphaned System
Many Markham homes already have cameras: an old DVR with blurry analog cameras, Wi-Fi cameras that keep disconnecting, or a system whose installer can no longer be reached. We check what is worth keeping, reuse good cable where we can and replace the rest. See upgrading Wi-Fi and DVR cameras to PoE and taking over a system after the original installer disappeared.
Cameras for Markham Businesses
For storefronts, offices, restaurants and warehouses we cover entrances, cash areas, parking and loading doors, and can add licence plate recognition at gates and thermal cameras on open yards. Cameras can be tied into access control and alarms so door events and video line up. See our commercial security work, including a 100,000 sq ft warehouse.
Cameras, Alarms and Police Response in Markham
Markham is policed by York Regional Police, which runs a Verified Alarm Response Program: police are dispatched to an alarm only after it has been verified, for example with video. Cameras give a monitored alarm that verification. If you want both, we install alarm systems alongside the cameras, with professional monitoring ($40 a month through Global Link Response Centre, a ULC-certified monitoring centre) or self-monitoring from your phone at no monthly cost.
If your home insurer is asking for a monitored alarm, we install it, set up monitoring and provide the certificate. See alarm systems for home insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay a monthly fee for cameras?
No. Our camera systems record to a recorder in your home, so there is no cloud subscription needed to keep or view footage. Monthly fees only apply if you add professional alarm monitoring, which is $40 a month through Global Link Response Centre, a ULC-certified monitoring centre.
How many cameras does a Markham house need?
It depends on the lot. Most detached homes want the driveway, front door, side yards and backyard covered; townhouses usually need fewer. We walk the property with you and mark each camera’s view before quoting.
Can you hide the wires on a finished house?
Usually, yes. In most homes we run cable through the attic and soffits so nothing shows outside. We confirm access during the site visit.
Can you install cameras I already bought?
Yes, including kits from big-box stores and online. We’ll tell you honestly if a kit won’t do what you need.
Can my cameras look at the street or my neighbour’s yard?
Aim cameras at your own property: your driveway, doors and yard. Avoid pointing them into a neighbour’s windows or backyard. We set camera angles during installation, and use privacy masking where the camera supports it, to keep the view on what you own.
How much does security camera installation cost in Markham?
Installed systems, equipment and installation included, start at $1,050 for 3 cameras, $1,800 for 5 cameras and $3,050 for 8 cameras, before HST. The final price depends on the brand, your location and how difficult the install is. We give you a written, itemized quote after the site visit.
