Who makes Backstreet Surveillance Cameras?

The Backstreet Manufacturing Process

1. Engineering and Design in the USA

Every Backstreet Surveillance camera begins as an in-house engineering project. Our team of experts determines:

• The exact resolution, lens, and sensor specifications
• Integration with network video recorders (NVRs) and PoE systems
• Advanced features like motion detection, smart alerts, and remote monitoring
• The durability requirements for different environments (indoor, outdoor, night vision)

Because we set the standards ourselves, we ensure our cameras are tailored for real-world use, not just for a specification sheet.

2. Component Selection

While many security camera brands buy entire ready-made units from foreign manufacturers, we source our components strategically:

• Key video components (image sensors, processors, critical electronics) are manufactured in the USA for superior quality.
• Supporting components and housing may be produced overseas, but are chosen for their durability and compatibility with our engineering standards.

This hybrid approach allows us to balance top-tier quality with competitive pricing.

3. Partnering with the Right Factories

We contract trusted overseas factories for certain stages of assembly. But here's the key difference:

• We choose the factory.
• We supply the specifications.
• We oversee the production process.

It's our design, our components, and our quality checks, not an off-the-shelf product with a new logo.

4. Quality Control from Start to Finish

Every batch of cameras by Backstreet Surveillance undergoes rigorous quality inspections:

• Component testing before assembly
• Live performance checks after assembly
• Stress tests for weather, temperature, and lighting conditions

It ensures each unit meets our high performance and durability standards before it ever reaches our customers.

The Truth About "Made in the USA" in the Security Camera Industry

Many consumers are surprised to learn that no company manufactures 100% of its cameras in the USA. The security camera industry is global, and certain materials and assembly expertise come from overseas. However, there's a major difference between:

• Brands like Backstreet that retain control over engineering and critical components, and
• Brands like Dahua, Hikvision, and Lorex (China-owned), where 100% of your purchase leaves the USA, and you get no say in production quality.

When you buy Backstreet Surveillance Cameras, over 75% of your investment stays in the USA, supporting American engineering, jobs, and innovation.

Why Backstreet Cameras Are Superior

Here's what sets us apart from other brands in the market:

• We Control the Design: We don't just pick a camera from a catalog; we create it from the ground up.
• We Specify the Components: No cut corners. Only trusted, tested, and high-grade parts make it into our cameras.
• We Select the Production Partner: We only work with factories that meet our strict manufacturing requirements.
• We Stand Behind Our Products: Our 5-year warranty, extendable to 10 years, is one of the longest in the industry.
