Michigan Security Systems is your authorized Digital Watchdog dealer and integrator. We design, install, program, and service the complete DW product line — MEGApix® IP cameras, VMAX® DVR systems, Blackjack® NVR servers, Star-Light Plus™ cameras, and DW Spectrum® IPVMS — for commercial businesses across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
As an authorized Digital Watchdog integrator, Michigan Security Systems installs and services the full DW product portfolio. From high-resolution MEGApix® IP cameras to enterprise-grade Blackjack® NVR servers and the powerful DW Spectrum® IP Video Management Software, we build complete, scalable surveillance solutions tailored to your Michigan business.
Digital Watchdog's MEGApix® IP cameras deliver superior image quality with up to 4K resolution and real-time 30fps recording. Available in dome, bullet, PTZ, and multi-sensor configurations, MEGApix cameras include advanced AI-powered video analytics for accurate motion detection, object classification, and tamper alerts.
Digital Watchdog's Star-Light Plus™ cameras deliver true full-color video even in near-total darkness — without switching to black and white. Built for the Universal HD over Coax® system, these cameras are ideal for businesses upgrading from legacy analog systems while maintaining existing coax cable infrastructure.
The Digital Watchdog Blackjack® series provides enterprise-grade network video recording powered by DW Spectrum® IPVMS. Available in rack-mount, tower, and edge configurations, Blackjack® NVRs support high-throughput recording, multi-terabyte storage, and seamless integration with MEGApix® cameras and third-party IP devices.
Digital Watchdog's VMAX® DVR systems support the full Universal HD over Coax® format, making them the perfect upgrade path for businesses transitioning from standard analog CCTV to high-definition surveillance. With multi-channel 4K recording and H.265 compression, VMAX® delivers maximum image quality at minimum storage cost.
DW Spectrum® IPVMS is the powerful, intuitive video management platform at the heart of every Blackjack® NVR system. Supporting desktop, mobile, and on-camera control, DW Spectrum® provides unified management of cameras, recording schedules, alerts, user permissions, and live or recorded video — all from a single interface across single or multi-site deployments.
For maximum coverage with minimum camera count, Digital Watchdog MEGApix® PTZ and multi-sensor cameras deliver 180° to 360° panoramic views and optical zoom capabilities up to 33x. Ideal for parking lots, large open areas, warehouses, and facility perimeters where wide-area coverage and remote pan/tilt/zoom control are essential.

We don't just sell Digital Watchdog products — we design, install, configure, train, and service every system we touch. Our licensed Michigan low-voltage technicians handle every aspect of your DW security system from the first site walk to years of ongoing support.

Every installation begins with a free on-site assessment where our technicians survey your property, identify coverage gaps, and design a custom Digital Watchdog system — right camera models, correct placement, optimal recording configuration — all before a single cable is pulled.

A great camera system is only as good as the software managing it. Michigan Security Systems fully configures DW Spectrum® IPVMS for your operation — camera streams, recording schedules, motion zones, user permissions, alert notifications, and mobile access — then walks your entire team through the system until everyone is confident.

Michigan Security Systems services existing Digital Watchdog installations across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana — even systems we didn't originally install. From failed hard drives and offline cameras to full system upgrades, firmware updates, and expansion projects, our technicians respond quickly to keep your surveillance running.
