Cost depends on the number of cameras, the cable runs, and how hard the building is to work in. A four-camera setup on a strip center in 91107 is quick. Eight cameras on a brick building in Old Pasadena with plaster ceilings takes longer and costs more. We do not quote from a phone call. We come out to your building for a free site survey and give you a fixed price.

Usually no for interior cameras or cameras on an existing surface. Pasadena does require an alarm permit from the City if your system is monitored and can generate a police response, and it bills for repeat false alarms. If your building is a designated landmark or sits in a historic district like Old Pasadena, street-facing conduit or hardware can need a Certificate of Appropriateness. We handle that on the free site survey.

All of it. That covers 91101 (Old Pasadena, Playhouse Village, Civic Center), 91103 (Northwest Pasadena, Linda Vista), 91104 (Bungalow Heaven), 91105 (Arroyo, San Rafael, Huntington Hospital), 91106 (South Lake, Caltech, Madison Heights), 91107 (East Pasadena, Hastings Ranch, Lamanda Park) and the Caltech campus at 91125. We also work in Altadena, South Pasadena, Arcadia and Glendale. The site survey is free anywhere in the city.

We can usually get to a Pasadena site survey within a few business days, and small jobs like a handful of cameras or a dozen Cat6 drops are often done in a day once you approve the quote. Larger office buildouts on South Lake or a full dealership lot on East Colorado are scheduled around your hours and any permit or property manager requirements. Start with the free survey and we give you a real date.

Yes. ITECH2 holds a California low-voltage contractor license, and carries the insurance Pasadena property managers ask for before we go into a riser or onto a roof. We have been in business since 2010. If your landlord on Lake Avenue or your facilities lead at a campus needs a certificate of insurance, we send it before the job starts.

For most lots and buildings, yes, and it costs a lot less. Our AI camera monitoring watches every camera 24/7, and when someone climbs a fence at a dealership on East Colorado or walks a loading dock in Lamanda Park at 2 a.m., a live agent talks to them over a speaker and calls Pasadena Police if they do not leave. It starts at $1 per camera per day a month and the first month is free.

Yes, and it is most of what we do there. Brick walls, plaster ceilings and exposed timber mean we use surface raceway painted to match, existing chases, and careful roof or basement paths instead of cutting into original material. We keep street-facing hardware minimal so you do not trip historic review. The free site survey is where we map the path before quoting.

ITECH2 does. We run Cat6 and Cat6A for offices on South Lake and Colorado Boulevard, shops in Old Pasadena, clinics near Huntington Hospital and warehouses off East Foothill. Every run is terminated, labeled and tested, and you get the test results. Call (442) 222-2775 for a free site survey at your Pasadena address.

Yes. Dead zones are common in Pasadena because the buildings have thick masonry walls and odd floor plans. We do a wireless survey, place access points where they actually reach, and cable them back to your rack. We do this for law offices on Lake, restaurants in Old Pasadena and clinics near Huntington. The site survey is free.
