What We Install
When a facility manager searches for a security camera installer near me, they need more than a camera on a wall — they need a system that integrates with access control, alerts security staff in real time, and produces evidence-grade footage on demand. GotUWired designs and installs commercial-grade video surveillance systems built around Verkada’s cloud-managed camera platform, one of the most widely deployed enterprise solutions in North America.
Verkada cameras — including the D-Series dome cameras and B-Series bullet cameras — are installed using Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power runs. Every camera writes continuously to on-board storage (up to 365 days, depending on model) and simultaneously streams to Verkada Command, a browser-based management console your security team can access from any device, anywhere.
For facilities that already run analog or legacy IP systems, GotUWired installs hybrid NVR/DVR infrastructure alongside new Verkada cameras, protecting your existing investment while upgrading coverage and remote-access capability.
Our installation methodology follows a four-step process:
- Site survey — We walk the property, map camera fields of view, identify coverage gaps, and document conduit paths, riser locations, and network switch capacity.
- Custom design — We deliver a CAD floor-plan overlay showing every camera position, cable run, and switch-port allocation before a single screw is turned.
- Certified installation — Our C-7 licensed low-voltage technicians pull structured cabling (Cat6/Cat6A), mount hardware, configure VLANs, and commission the Verkada Command environment.
- Handoff & training — We walk your team through the Verkada dashboard, set up role-based user permissions, and provide documentation for your IT department.
The result: a turnkey security camera system that is monitored, managed, and updated from the cloud — no on-site DVR to maintain, no firmware to patch manually, and no vendor lock-in on hardware refresh cycles.
Industries We Serve
Commercial security camera installation requirements vary significantly by industry — a biotech R&D campus in Carlsbad has different coverage mandates than a multi-tenant office park in Kearny Mesa. GotUWired has completed installations across the following verticals:
Commercial Office & Corporate Campus — Open-plan offices, server rooms, executive suites, and parking structures. We integrate camera coverage with access control so door events and video timestamps align in a single dashboard. See how we approach commercial installations.
Healthcare & Medical Facilities — Patient privacy, HIPAA compliance, and after-hours security are non-negotiable. We place cameras to cover entry/exit points, medication storage, and nursing stations while ensuring coverage maps are reviewed against HIPAA guidance before deployment.
Education & K–12 Schools — California’s school safety mandates require monitored exterior coverage and documented visitor management. Our systems support CDPH guidelines for school safety and integrate with visitor management platforms.
Industrial & Warehouse — High-bay cameras covering loading docks, forklift aisles, and inventory storage. Wide dynamic range lenses handle the contrast between bright dock doors and dark racking environments.
Retail & Hospitality — Loss prevention coverage for POS areas, stock rooms, and customer-facing floor space, with Verkada’s People Analytics layer for occupancy trending.
Government & Public Sector — Facilities requiring NDAA-compliant hardware and documented chain-of-custody for footage. Verkada cameras are NDAA-compliant by design.
Every engagement starts with a free site survey — no obligation, no boilerplate proposal. Request a quote and we will schedule a walkthrough within two business days.
Sample Projects
The best way to evaluate a security camera installer near me is to review work they have already completed in your industry. Here are three representative GotUWired deployments:
Biotech R&D Campus — Carlsbad, CA
A 120,000 sq ft research facility required coverage of twelve laboratory entry points, two server rooms, and an outdoor parking structure. GotUWired installed 48 Verkada D-Series dome cameras across three floors, integrated with the client’s existing Lenel access-control system via the Verkada API, and delivered live footage to a central security operations station within a single-day commissioning window. The client reported zero footage gaps in the first six months of operation.
Multi-Tenant Office Park — Kearny Mesa, San Diego
A property management company managing four buildings needed a single-pane-of-glass view across all tenants’ shared common areas. GotUWired designed a shared Verkada Command organization with per-tenant camera groups and role-based access — each tenant sees only their own footage while building management retains full-site visibility. Installation was phased across four weekends to avoid disrupting tenant operations.
K–12 Charter School — Chula Vista, CA
The school district required exterior perimeter coverage meeting California’s SB 11 school-safety standards. GotUWired installed 24 B-Series bullet cameras on existing light poles using non-penetrating mounts, powered via a new dedicated PoE switch in the main IDF. The principal has remote access to live and recorded footage from a mobile device.
Certifications & Partner Status
When evaluating a security camera installer near me, credentials matter. GotUWired holds the following:
Verkada Preferred Partner — GotUWired is a Verkada Preferred Partner, meaning our technicians have completed Verkada’s technical training and certification program. This status gives our clients access to priority Verkada support, pre-release firmware briefings, and guaranteed hardware availability during supply-chain constraints.
C-7 Low-Voltage License — All GotUWired installations are performed under California C-7 Low-Voltage Systems Specialty contractor license. This is a legal requirement for any commercial structured cabling or camera installation in California and protects you from liability in the event of an insurance claim.
Manufacturer Affiliations — In addition to Verkada, GotUWired is an authorized installer for Axis Communications and Hanwha Vision, giving us the flexibility to specify the right camera technology for every project regardless of brand preference.
Bonded & Insured — We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance on every job. Certificates of insurance are available on request before any work begins.
These credentials are not vanity badges — they are the baseline a facility manager should require from any contractor before issuing a purchase order. We are happy to provide references from completed projects. Learn more about our installers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of installing security cameras for a commercial building?
Commercial security camera installation costs vary based on camera count, cable runs, and system complexity. A typical mid-size office installation (10–20 Verkada cameras, structured cabling, and cloud licensing) ranges from $8,000 to $25,000 installed. GotUWired provides fixed-price quotes after a free site survey — there are no surprise change orders once the scope is agreed. Request a quote to get accurate pricing for your facility.
Can a handyman install commercial security cameras?
A handyman is not licensed to perform commercial security camera installation in California. California law requires a C-7 Low-Voltage Systems Specialty contractor license for any structured cabling or camera installation in a commercial building. Using an unlicensed installer can void your insurance coverage and create liability exposure. GotUWired holds a California C-7 license and all work is performed by licensed, bonded, and insured technicians.
How long does a commercial security camera installation take?
A typical 20-camera installation in a single-story commercial building takes one to two days. Multi-floor or multi-building projects are phased to minimize disruption to your operations. GotUWired provides a project timeline and phasing plan before work begins so your team knows exactly when and where installers will be working.
What is the difference between Verkada and traditional DVR/NVR systems?
Traditional DVR and NVR systems store footage on a local hard drive that requires physical access to review and must be manually patched for security vulnerabilities. Verkada stores footage on-board each camera (up to 365 days) and syncs to Verkada Command, a cloud dashboard accessible from any browser or mobile device. There is no on-site server to maintain, and all firmware updates happen automatically over the air.
Do you offer maintenance and support after installation?
Yes. GotUWired offers ongoing support agreements that include remote monitoring, firmware management, and on-site service calls. As a Verkada Preferred Partner, we can escalate hardware warranty claims directly to Verkada on your behalf, typically resolving replacement requests within 48 hours.
Can security cameras be installed without running new cable?
In most commercial buildings, yes — to a degree. Wireless Verkada cameras (Wi-Fi or LTE models) can be deployed where running new Cat6 is cost-prohibitive. For high-resolution continuous recording, a wired PoE connection provides more reliable throughput. GotUWired’s site survey evaluates both options and recommends the most cost-effective approach for each camera position.
Are GotUWired cameras NDAA-compliant?
Yes. All Verkada cameras are NDAA-compliant (National Defense Authorization Act Section 889), meaning they do not use components from manufacturers banned for use in federal facilities (Hikvision, Dahua, Huawei). This is a requirement for any installation serving a government facility, public school, or federally-funded project.
