General contractors and owners call us when the low-voltage scope is missing from the plans, when the electrician has run conduit but nobody owns the cable, or when the camera and access control rough-in has to be in before drywall.
We work as the low-voltage sub: pathway and rough-in coordinated with the electrical contractor, structured cabling and fiber backbone, camera and access-control rough-in and finish, AV pre-wire, and construction-site AI camera monitoring from $1 per camera per day a month to stop material theft while the site is open. ITECH2 holds California C-7 license #1098090 and works from plans, submittals and inspection schedules. A free site survey or plan review starts every project.
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.

Construction & New Builds across Santa Ana
New construction in Santa Ana runs through the Planning and Building Agency at 20 Civic Center Plaza, with plan check and inspections that low-voltage rough-in has to fit between. Mid-rise residential near MainPlace and downtown means fire-rated pathways, telecom rooms on every floor and coordination with the fire alarm contractor. Tilt-up renovations in 92705 and 92707 mean cable tray, high lifts and a schedule that follows the roof. Construction sites along North Main and downtown draw after-hours theft, and monitored cameras on a temporary pole cover them. We have worked all three.
Cameras that stop theft, not just record it
AI Camera Monitoring watches your Santa Ana 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 Santa Ana — questions we get
When should a general contractor bring in a low voltage sub on a Santa Ana project?
Before framing is closed. Low-voltage rough-in, conduit stubs, telecom-room layout and camera and reader box locations are far cheaper before drywall and fire-caulk. On mid-rise and TI projects in Santa Ana, we coordinate with the electrical contractor during pre-construction. A free plan review tells you what should be in the rough-in package.
Can you monitor a Santa Ana construction site for theft overnight?
Yes. We install cameras and a speaker on a temporary pole or the site trailer, connect them to 24/7 live AI monitoring, and an operator warns anyone who enters after hours and calls Santa Ana PD if they stay. Copper, tools and appliances stop walking off. It starts at $1 per camera per day a month, first month free. Free site visit.
Do you pull low voltage permits with the City of Santa Ana?
Where a low-voltage permit or inspection is required, yes. We know the Building Safety Division counter at 20 Civic Center Plaza, its hours and its electronic plan review, and we coordinate our inspections with the general contractor's schedule so cabling, access control and camera work do not hold up a certificate of occupancy.
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.
