Cameras, door access, wi-fi, phones and networks are installed and maintained as one job

One company, one quote and one number to call for all of it. These systems share the same cabling, switches and power, so they are surveyed and priced together rather than one at a time.

Networks & Internet

The network comes first

The cabling, the switches and the internet line carry everything else on this page. They are sized first, because every other system plugs into them.

A ceiling access point, seen as a disc

Business Wi-Fi

Access points are placed to fit how the building is built, and one login manages all of them, whether that is three or thirty.

What it does
The gateway that picks which line to use

Internet backup

A second line on a different carrier takes over by itself, so the registers keep working through an outage.

What it does
A switch, port face towards camera

Network switches

One cable carries both data and power, so a camera on a soffit needs no outlet at the far end.

What it does
The box the internet lands in

Business firewall

The firewall sits between the building and the internet, and it keeps the guest network away from the card readers.

What it does
A rack unit with its drive bays across the front

File storage

Shared drives sit on the same network as the people who use them, and the storage is paid for once, not again every month.

What it does
Security & Access

The recordings stay on the premises

These systems record to hardware inside the building. The footage stays on site, under the business’s own control, and none of it is rented back by the month.

A camera, lens filling the body

Security cameras

The cameras record to equipment inside the building, the footage stays as long as it is wanted, and it can be watched from a phone.

What it does
A door reader with its screen lit

Door entry

Staff open doors with a badge, a phone or a code, and access is set per person and per time of day, on hardware the business owns.

What it does
The wall enclosure the sensors report to

Alarm system

The alarm watches doors, motion and breaking glass, and it also catches water leaks, heat and cold.

What it does
Screens, Phones & Power

These are the parts people use every day

Staff and customers use these systems all day. The battery backup underneath them keeps a short outage from restarting anything.

The player that sits behind a screen

Digital signage

Menus, specials and live pages run on the screens already on the wall, and they are updated from a laptop.

What it does
A desk phone in its cradle

Business phone systems

The system runs desk phones, Teams or both, and the numbers and the directory stay the same either way.

What it does
A tower battery, standing on end

Battery backup

The batteries carry everything through a short outage, so no switch, camera or door reader restarts.

What it does
A charging point with its connector alongside

EV charging

The charging point records who plugged in and how much power they used, so the electricity becomes a line that can be accounted for.

What it does

Why the systems are quoted together

The cameras, the door readers, the access points and the phones all run on the same cabling and draw their power from the same switch. They are not separate purchases that happen to sit in the same building — they are one installation.

When each system is sized on its own, the cabinet fills up and the power budget runs short. One survey covers the whole building at once, so the switch installed today has room for whatever gets added next year.

Most jobs involve two or three of these systems, not all of them. Each one is described in more detail below.

Every system on this page runs back to the same cabinet and draws its power from it. That is why they are quoted and installed as one job rather than several.

How it works

How the work goes

01

One walk covers the whole building

The survey takes in every opening, every ceiling and the spot where the internet comes in, in a single visit rather than one visit per system.

02

One quote lists everything

Equipment and labor are listed together, split by system, so a line can be dropped without re-pricing the rest.

03

The cable goes in once

Cameras, door readers, access points and phones share the same cable runs, so the ceilings come down once instead of four times.

04

The records come with the handover

The handover includes the logins, the labeled ports and a record of what is installed where, so the next person who opens the cabinet is not guessing.

Questions we get asked

Do all of these have to be done at once?

No. Most buildings start with the cabling and the switches, because everything else hangs off those, and add cameras or door access later. The first stage is sized for what is coming, so the second stage does not mean buying a new cabinet.

Is the equipment supplied as well as installed?

Yes, and the two are quoted together. Equipment bought somewhere else still has to be checked against the power budget and the cabinet space, so splitting the order moves that work rather than removing it.

Can this go into a building that already has some of it?

Usually, yes. Existing cabling is tested and reused wherever it passes, and whatever is already on the walls is surveyed before anything is quoted to replace it.

Who holds the logins afterwards?

The business does. The systems run on hardware in the building, the accounts are in the business’s name, and nothing depends on a login held only by the installer.

Does the work extend outside Charleston?

Yes. Jobs run in Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, Daniel Island and the surrounding Lowcountry.

A quote starts with the building

A room count, a door count and a note of what already runs there are enough to say which of these systems a job involves.
