The Story Behind the Reimagined Lewis Surveillance
Founded in 1990. Reinvented for the AI Era.
Welcome to the reimagined Lewis Surveillance — a bold evolution of three decades of experience, driven by the belief that smarter security starts with smarter design. From our origins serving the San Francisco Bay Area, we've grown beyond installations and hardware to focus solely on what we do best: strategy, design, and technical intelligence.
Lewis Surveillance is no longer an installation company. We are an AI-powered security consulting firm that builds tactical design plans and future-ready surveillance systems for clients who demand clarity, control, and results.
What Defines Us Today
We no longer follow trends — we set them. Our transformation reflects a radical shift in the surveillance industry. Instead of hardware sales and service contracts, we provide:
- Strategic consulting for surveillance and communication systems
- Custom system design based on site conditions, legal compliance, and investigative goals
- AI-augmented programming, analytics, and future-proof integrations
This transformation has made Lewis Surveillance a beacon for homeowners, small businesses, enterprises, and law firms alike — all seeking high-level guidance in an oversaturated, underskilled market.
The AI Advantage: What Powers Our Innovation
We don’t just use AI. We design with it. Lewis Surveillance is powered by an elite suite of tools that most security firms don’t even know exist. Our founder, James “Jimmy” Lewis, actively learns and deploys new AI solutions monthly — staying years ahead of the competition.
