The Great Park itself is in a major expansion with a permanent amphitheater starting construction in 2026. Portola Springs and Orchard Hills keep building out. Office and lab projects rise in Spectrum, medical buildings follow the new UCI Health hospital, and older IBC sites are being redeveloped into housing. Every one of those sites needs two things from a low-voltage contractor: security while it is a job site, and rough-in so the building works when it is done.
For the job site, we install temporary camera systems with AI monitoring so a live operator watches the site overnight and on weekends and speaks to anyone who walks in, from $1 per camera per day a month with the first month free. For the building, we work with the general contractor on the structured cabling, camera, access control, AV and Wi-Fi rough-in, so pathways and boxes are in the walls before drywall and the finish work is fast.
We handle both sides of construction: monitored camera towers that stop theft during the build, and the low voltage rough-in and finish work that has to land at the right moment in the schedule. General contractors get one licensed sub for cabling, cameras, access and monitoring.
The problems we get called for
- Copper, tool and equipment theft from open sites
- Sites with no power or internet yet
- Cabling that has to go in before walls close
- Insurance and general-contractor security requirements
What we install
- Solar and battery-powered camera towers with cellular backhaul for open sites
- 24/7 AI monitoring with live voice-down from the first night
- Structured cabling, fiber and low voltage rough-in on the construction schedule
- Access control and cameras commissioned before turnover
- Temporary Wi-Fi for the site office and trailers
Construction & New Builds across Irvine
Construction work in Irvine is heaviest on the north and east side: the Great Park Neighborhoods, Portola Springs, Orchard Hills and the Great Park itself, all in 92618, 92620 and 92602. Spectrum and University Research Park see office, lab and medical builds. The IBC is seeing older office and industrial sites turn into apartments. Sites near the 5, the 133 and the toll roads are easy to reach and easy for trespassers to reach too, which is why monitored cameras matter. We coordinate with the general contractor's schedule and the City of Irvine inspection process on every project.
Cameras that stop theft, not just record it
AI Camera Monitoring watches your Irvine property around the clock, warns intruders off with live audio the moment they step on site, and escalates real threats with video-verified dispatch. It works with cameras we install and, in most cases, with the cameras you already have.
$1 per camera per day on a schedule · $1.50 for 24/7 · first month free
Book your free assessment by September 30 and your first month of monitoring is free.

Construction & New Builds in Irvine — questions we get
Can you set up temporary security cameras at a construction site in Irvine?
Yes. Pole-mounted or trailer-mounted camera units with cellular connectivity, solar or generator power, and AI monitoring that puts a live operator on the site after hours. Anyone who enters gets a loudspeaker warning and, if needed, a call to Irvine Police. It moves with the project and comes down when the fence does. Monitoring starts at $1 per camera per day a month with the first month free.
When should low voltage rough-in happen on a new build in Irvine?
Before drywall, at the same stage as electrical rough-in. That is when conduit, boxes, backboxes for cameras and access control readers, and pathways between telecom rooms go in cheaply. Doing it after the walls close costs more and looks worse. We work with the general contractor's schedule and coordinate with the electrical sub so both trades are done before inspection.
Do you work with general contractors on the low voltage scope for Irvine projects?
Yes. We hold a C-7 license, work directly under the GC on the low voltage scope, carry the insurance GCs require, provide submittals and as-builts, and show up when the schedule says. We have worked alongside electrical, framing and drywall trades on Southern California commercial projects since 2010. Send us the plans and we will price the low voltage scope, or bring us in early to help design it.
How do you secure a construction site with no power or internet?
With solar and battery-powered camera towers on cellular backhaul, monitored 24/7 by AI with live voice-down. They go up in an afternoon and move with the phases of the job.
When should low voltage rough-in happen on a new build?
Right after framing and electrical rough-in, before insulation and drywall. We coordinate with the GC schedule so pathways, boxes and cable are in place before walls close.
Can you monitor a jobsite for the length of the project?
Yes. Monitoring is month to month from $1 per camera per day, so it can run for the duration of the build and stop at turnover.
