Everything you need to know about which cameras work with SecurifyHQ, what internet you need, and what's included in your setup — before you commit to anything.
SecurifyHQ works with most professional IP cameras that support RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) — the industry standard used by reputable security camera brands. If your cameras use RTSP, the chances are high that we can integrate them.
If you have an existing CCTV system installed at your India property — even if it was set up years ago — there's a good chance we can integrate it. This includes older analog camera setups connected to a DVR. Send us your camera or DVR brand and model during signup and we'll confirm compatibility at no charge before you proceed.
Some popular consumer cameras are designed as closed, cloud-only ecosystems. They do not expose an RTSP stream, meaning no third-party monitoring platform can connect to them — not just SecurifyHQ, but any professional monitoring service.
These brands intentionally lock their cameras to their own apps and cloud platforms. They don't allow external access to the video stream — it's a deliberate design choice, not a technical limitation on our end. If your property currently uses these cameras, we'll recommend an upgrade path during your consultation.
In simple terms: if a camera supports RTSP or ONVIF, we can almost certainly work with it. Here's what that means.
Not sure what cameras to buy? Here are the setups we most commonly recommend for typical India property types. All are RTSP-capable and tested with our platform.
Every property is different. During your free consultation call, we'll review your property layout and recommend the optimal camera count, placement, and brands for your specific situation — with no obligation to buy.
Your India property needs a stable internet connection. Here's exactly what you need — and what common India providers can support.
| Setup Size | Cameras | Minimum Upload Speed | Recommended Upload Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 2–3 cameras | 6 Mbps upload | 10 Mbps upload |
| Medium | 4–6 cameras | 10 Mbps upload | 15–20 Mbps upload |
| Large | 7–12 cameras | 20 Mbps upload | 30–40 Mbps upload |
| Provider | Plan Type | Typical Upload | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jio Fiber (50–100 Mbps plan) | Fiber broadband | 50–100 Mbps | ✓ Excellent — most setups |
| Airtel Xstream Fiber | Fiber broadband | 40–200 Mbps | ✓ Excellent — most setups |
| BSNL Bharat Fiber | Fiber broadband | 20–50 Mbps | ✓ Good for small/medium setups |
| Local Cable / DSL | Cable/DSL | 5–20 Mbps | ⚠ Check upload speed first |
| 4G/5G Mobile Hotspot | Mobile data | Variable | ✗ Not recommended (unreliable) |
Most internet plans advertise download speed, but for camera monitoring you need upload speed — because your cameras send video out. Jio Fiber and Airtel Fiber plans are symmetric or near-symmetric, meaning upload speeds are similar to download. We'll test your connection during setup and flag any issues before going live.
The one-time setup fee is not just for a visit — it covers hardware, professional configuration, and secure integration. Here's a breakdown of what you actually receive.
Unlike some providers who retain ownership of installed equipment, the networking hardware we install at your property belongs to you from day one. If you ever cancel our service, the hardware stays — you can use it independently or with another provider. We believe in transparency, not lock-in.
We understand the question: why are you paying New Zealand rates for a service operating in India? Here's the honest answer.
SecurifyHQ is a legally registered New Zealand company (Company #9405543), operating under NZ company law. That means formal accountability, proper governance, and recourse if things go wrong — not an informal arrangement.
Our monitoring follows structured procedures — documented escalation protocols, incident reporting, shift handovers, and quality controls. We don't wing it. The operational overhead of running things properly costs what it costs.
We use professional-grade hardware, encrypted connections, and a purpose-built monitoring platform — not consumer apps running on someone's laptop. Infrastructure that works reliably at 3am costs more than infrastructure that works sometimes.
Every verified alert is reviewed by a trained operator — not an algorithm that sends you a push notification. Human attention and trained judgment have a cost, and we don't cut corners on this because it's the core of what makes our service worth having.
When an alert is verified, we don't just email you. We follow an escalation chain — contacting your designated contacts in order, coordinating local response if needed, and documenting everything. That's a professional service, not a notification app.
Cheap services exist in India. Many of them go offline, have inconsistent response, or disappear when something serious happens. Our clients — most of them NRIs who can't respond in person — pay for the confidence that their property is genuinely being watched.
A full-time security guard in India costs INR 15,000–25,000/month (NZ$285–475). SecurifyHQ starts at NZ$50/month — with 24/7 coverage across all cameras, human-verified alerts, and documented incident records. For most NRIs, it's not even a close comparison.
