Professional CCTV Installation in Cleveland
At Rhodes Security Systems, we handle every aspect of your closed circuit television installation with meticulous attention to detail. Our process begins with a comprehensive security assessment of your Mentor property, identifying vulnerable areas and determining optimal camera placement. Unlike cookie-cutter solutions, we carefully consider factors specific to Northeast Ohio properties, including lighting conditions, seasonal weather changes, and local crime patterns reported in Mentor and surrounding areas.
Our technicians are certified security professionals who live right here in Lake County, bringing local expertise to every installation. We carefully conceal wiring, optimize viewing angles, and ensure your system provides maximum coverage with minimum intrusion. Whether you need weatherproof cameras to withstand Cleveland’s lake effect snow or vandal-resistant housings for urban applications, we select components specifically matched to your property’s unique requirements.
After installation, we don’t just hand you equipment and leave – we provide thorough training on your new residential security camera system, ensuring you understand how to access footage, adjust settings, and maximize your security investment. Many of our clients in Mentor’s residential neighborhoods appreciate that we offer ongoing maintenance plans to keep their systems operating at peak performance year-round.
Customized Security Camera Solutions
Every property in Mentor has different security needs, which is why we never offer one-size-fits-all packages. For residential clients in neighborhoods like Mentor Headlands or Morton Park, we might recommend discreet doorbell cameras and strategic corner-mounted systems that blend with your home’s architecture while monitoring entry points.
For our commercial clients along Mentor Avenue or in the Great Lakes Mall area, we often design comprehensive multi-camera systems with advanced analytics capabilities, helping business owners monitor multiple locations simultaneously. Our solar-powered options have become increasingly popular for Mentor properties with detached structures or remote areas without easy access to power.
We consider unique Cleveland-area factors in every design, from cameras that function reliably in Lake Erie’s humidity to systems that remain operational during Northeast Ohio’s occasional power outages. Our partnership with leading security manufacturers allows us to offer the latest technology at competitive prices, whether you need high-definition clarity, night vision capabilities, or motion-activated recording.
During your free consultation, we’ll address common questions about storage capacity, remote access options, and integration with existing security measures – creating a comprehensive solution tailored specifically to your Mentor property.
Advanced Surveillance Technology
The technology behind modern CCTV systems has evolved dramatically since we opened our doors in 1974. Today, we offer Mentor residents sophisticated security options that were once available only to large corporations or government facilities.
Our high-definition cameras capture crisp, detailed footage that can clearly identify faces, license plates, and other crucial details. Many of our Cleveland area clients opt for systems with remote viewing capabilities, allowing them to monitor their properties from anywhere using their smartphones or computers – whether they’re at work in Downtown Cleveland or vacationing away from Lake County.
We’ve successfully implemented intelligent video analytics for several businesses along Mentor’s commercial corridors, enabling features like people counting, perimeter detection, and behavior analysis. For residential clients in neighborhoods like Mentor-on-the-Lake, we often install motion-activated systems that send instant alerts when activity is detected.
All of our installations include reliable, weather-resistant equipment backed by manufacturer warranties and our own service guarantee. As a local company familiar with Mentor’s varying neighborhoods and business districts, we understand which security features provide the most value for different property types throughout Lake County.

Why is it called closed circuit television?
The term “closed circuit television” refers to the fact that the video signal is transmitted through a closed, private system rather than being broadcast publicly like traditional television. As security professionals, we explain to clients that “closed circuit” means the cameras connect directly to specific monitors or recording devices, creating a secure, self-contained system that can only be accessed by authorized users. Unlike broadcast television that anyone with an antenna or cable connection can view, CCTV footage is restricted to designated receivers, making it ideal for security applications. Here in Cleveland, this closed system approach ensures that footage of your home or business remains private and protected, giving you complete control over who can view your security feed.
