Security camera installation

I install wireless cameras, wired camera systems, and video doorbells across San Diego County, connect them to your phone, and give you a hands-on lesson so you actually know how to use them.

That's me. Say hi when I knock.

Wireless cameras

Battery or solar cameras that connect over Wi-Fi, so there are no new wires to run. Setup is $199 for up to two cameras, $325 for up to four, and $60 for each camera after that. Swapping your old doorbell for a video doorbell counts as one camera. A $100 deposit holds your spot and comes off your bill.

Wired camera systems

Wired PoE or DVR cameras with a recorder that stays in your home. They don't need charging and are the most reliable option. Setup is $400 for up to two cameras, $650 for up to four, and $125 for each camera after that, with the cables run and tidied. Attic runs, drilling through stucco, and long cable runs are quoted on the free call. A $200 deposit holds your spot and comes off your bill.

Brands I install

Ring, Google Nest, Arlo, Eufy, Reolink, Lorex, and most other popular brands. If you haven't bought cameras yet, I'll help you pick. You can also see the gear I recommend.

What's included

Mounting each camera, connecting it to your Wi-Fi and your phone, setting up motion alerts, and a lesson so you know how to check footage and change settings. Cameras and cable are billed at cost, or I can install equipment you already own.

Good to know

Do I need a monthly subscription?
Not always. Some cameras save video at home with no monthly fee. I'll explain the options before you buy.
How long does an install take?
Most wireless setups take two to three hours. Wired systems take longer depending on how the cables need to be run.
What areas do you serve?
All of San Diego County, including Chula Vista, Bonita, Eastlake, National City, Coronado, Point Loma, and La Jolla.
