Holsen Solar installs professional-grade security cameras, video doorbells, and keypad or card door access systems for homes and businesses. Licensed electricians. Clean, permanent wiring. No subscription traps — just reliable security that works.
Big-box doorbell cameras are better than nothing. But professionally installed, permanently wired cameras cover more ground, record clearer footage, store it locally, and don't depend on a monthly subscription to function.
Battery cameras run out at the worst moments. Our installations run hardwired power to every camera — no battery swaps, no coverage gaps. Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivers both power and video over a single cable, hidden inside walls or under soffits.
Cloud-only systems mean paying forever — and losing access the moment you stop. We configure NVR/DVR systems with 30+ days of local storage so your footage is always available, on your terms, at no ongoing cost. Cloud backup can be added optionally.
Camera placement is half the battle. We assess your property, identify blind spots, and position cameras to cover entries, driveways, and perimeter — not just the front door. Wide-angle and varifocal lens options let us dial in exactly what each camera needs to see.
We install three categories of security systems — often together. Tell us your goals and we'll design the right combination for your property.
Permanently wired IP cameras with local NVR recording, 4K resolution, color night vision, and remote viewing from any smartphone or desktop. Covers driveways, entries, parking lots, and building perimeters.
Brands we work with include Hikvision, Reolink, Amcrest, and Uniview. We recommend and install based on your coverage needs and budget — not brand loyalty.
Professionally wired video doorbells with wide-angle lenses, two-way audio, motion alerts, and integration into your existing camera system or smart home setup. See and speak to visitors from anywhere in the world.
We hardwire doorbells to your existing doorbell circuit or add dedicated wiring — so you never deal with a dead battery or a doorbell that goes offline mid-vacation.
Keypad entry, RFID card/fob readers, and electric strike or mag-lock door hardware give you keyless control over who enters your building. Grant or revoke access instantly without rekeying — and see an audit log of every entry.
Ideal for businesses with multiple employees, rental units, shops, and any property where you need access control without physical key distribution headaches.
The most effective security setups combine camera coverage with controlled entry — you see who is at the door and control whether they can come in, all from your phone. We design and install both systems in a single visit so everything integrates cleanly.
Most homeowners start with a single doorbell camera. Then they realize the driveway isn't covered. Or the garage. Or the back door. A properly designed residential camera system covers every entry and perimeter zone in a single installation — and stores everything locally so you always have the footage when you need it.
We run wiring during installation so cameras sit flush, cables disappear into soffits and walls, and the result looks like it was built that way — not mounted with surface-run cable zip-tied to your fascia.
4K cameras with color night vision — identify faces and plates in the dark
Hardwired PoE cameras — no batteries, no dead zones, no offline risk
Local NVR with 30+ days storage — no subscription required to view footage
Remote access from iPhone, Android, or desktop from anywhere in the world
Motion zones, smart alerts, and two-way audio on supported cameras
Clean installation — wiring hidden inside walls, soffits, and attic runs
Commercial security is different from residential. More cameras, longer retention, access-controlled doors, and systems that can be monitored remotely by management or a third-party monitoring service. We design and install all of it.
Indoor and outdoor cameras covering entrances, sales floors, back-of-house, parking, and loading areas. Motion analytics, remote viewing, and access-controlled doors where needed. Systems scaled from a single-room office to a multi-location business.
High-ceiling PTZ cameras with wide-area coverage, license plate reader cameras at gate entries, and perimeter cameras for after-hours monitoring. Built for large footprints where a few well-placed cameras can cover thousands of square feet.
Camera systems for farms, acreages, and rural properties where equipment, grain bins, and livestock are at risk. Long-range cameras, solar-powered options for outbuildings without power, and cellular-connected NVRs where internet isn't available.
Physical keys are a liability. When an employee leaves, you either rekey the lock or hope they don't come back. Keypad and RFID access control systems eliminate that problem entirely — deactivate a credential instantly from your computer or phone, with a full log of who entered when.
We install electric strikes, magnetic locks, and access controllers at any door — back doors, server rooms, equipment bays, side entries. Each door can have its own schedule, access group, and log. Pair it with cameras at the same door and you have both a record and visual confirmation of every entry event.
Pair access control with a camera at the same door and you get visual confirmation of every entry event. Someone badges in at 2am? The system logs it and the camera caught it. We wire both together for a unified, clean installation.
Security camera systems require real electrical work — panel connections, conduit runs, outlet placement, low-voltage wiring permits where required. We're licensed master electricians in ND, MN, and SD. We pull the right permits and do the work correctly.
We run cable inside walls, through attics, and under soffits. No zip-tied cable dangling down your siding. No surface conduit stapled to your fascia. The end result looks like the cameras were built into the house — because the wiring was done right.
We don't upsell unnecessary cameras or push subscriptions you don't need. We assess your property, tell you what coverage makes sense, and give you a clear quote. Most residential systems are completed in a single day.
We serve ND, MN, and SD and have been working in this region since day one. When something needs adjusting or a camera goes down, you call us — not a national call center. We show up.
Many of our camera and access control customers also have solar, EV chargers, or smart home systems installed by us. One contractor, one relationship, one point of contact for all of it — no coordinating between multiple trades.
We configure systems with local storage so your security doesn't depend on a monthly fee. Cloud backup is available as an option, but it's never required for your system to function, record, or let you view footage.
Most camera and access control installs are completed start-to-finish in a single day. Here's how the process works.
We walk your property or building, identify coverage needs and blind spots, and design a camera layout. We give you a clear, itemized quote with no surprises.
We finalize camera placement, storage configuration, access points, and wiring runs. For commercial projects we provide a full system diagram before work begins.
Our electricians run all wiring, mount hardware, configure NVRs and access controllers, and test every camera and door. We don't leave until everything is working.
We walk you through the app, show you how to review footage, adjust motion zones, and manage access credentials. You leave knowing exactly how to use your system.
Master electrician licenses in ND, MN, and SD. Fully insured for residential and commercial work. We pull permits where required.
We warranty our installation workmanship. If a connection fails or wiring issue surfaces from our install, we come back and fix it at no charge.
We tell you what you need — not what earns us the highest margin. If a simpler system covers your needs, that's what we'll recommend.
We're a local ND/MN/SD business. When you call after the install, a real person answers — not a national support line.
Many of our security customers combine cameras with other Holsen services for a complete, professionally integrated property system.
A rooftop solar system keeps your home running — and keeps your cameras and NVR online even when the grid is unstable. Pair solar with battery storage for true whole-home resilience, security included.
