Low voltage systems for Glendale schools and campuses
Glendale Unified runs about twenty elementary schools, four middle schools and four high schools, including Glendale High, Hoover, Crescenta Valley and Clark Magnet, and the city also has a long list of private schools, Armenian and religious day schools, preschools and tutoring centers, plus Glendale Community College on Verdugo Road. Every one of them has the same list: cameras at entrances and parking lots, a front door that stays locked and buzzes visitors in, Wi-Fi that holds up when every student opens a laptop at once, and classrooms where the projector and speakers just work.

ITECH2 handles all of that as one contractor. We install visitor-entry intercoms and access control that release on fire alarm, campus camera systems with clear views of gates, drop-off lanes and quads, Cat6 and fiber between buildings and portables, and classroom AV. For public schools and larger private campuses we work to district standards, submit for their approval process and schedule the work over breaks and after hours.
School and campus projects run on the academic calendar, so we plan installs for breaks and evenings and coordinate with facilities, IT and the district's security standards. Camera placement respects privacy areas while covering every entry and gathering space.
The problems we get called for
- Multiple entrances and campuses that are hard to watch at once
- Visitor management and after-hours access for staff and vendors
- Old cabling that cannot support modern cameras and Wi-Fi
- Wi-Fi that drops when every student opens a device
What we install
- Campus-wide camera coverage of entries, corridors, lots and fields
- Access control with lockdown capability and visitor check-in
- High-density Wi-Fi designed for one-to-one devices
- Structured cabling and fiber between buildings
- Paging and bell integration with the AV system
Education & Schools across Glendale
Glendale school campuses range from 1920s buildings with thick plaster walls to portable classrooms on asphalt, sometimes on the same site. That mix means cable paths have to be planned, and fiber to the portables is usually the right answer. Campuses in the hills, like those in Verdugo Woodlands and up toward Crescenta Highlands, have long outdoor runs and gates on multiple streets. Private schools and preschools in the flats around Tropico, Citrus Grove and Adams Hill tend to be converted buildings where a working front-door intercom and lot cameras are the priority. We are familiar with the after-hours and background-check requirements schools put on contractors.
Cameras that stop theft, not just record it
AI Camera Monitoring watches your Glendale 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.

Education & Schools in Glendale — questions we get
What security cameras do Glendale schools need?
The priorities are entrances, drop-off and pickup lanes, parking lots, gates and any blind corner between buildings. Cameras should be high enough to avoid tampering and sharp enough to identify a face at the gate. Recording should keep at least a few weeks. Pair it with a locked front door and a video intercom so staff see who is asking to be let in. We map the campus during a free site survey and prioritize with your administrator.
Can you install Wi-Fi that handles a whole classroom of laptops in a Glendale school?
Yes. Classroom Wi-Fi is a density problem, not a range problem. We put an enterprise access point in or between every classroom, cabled with Cat6 and tuned so thirty students on one network do not knock each other off. Separate networks keep student devices away from staff and office systems. Older Glendale school buildings with plaster and brick walls need more access points than a new building. The free site survey includes a coverage map.
Do you work on private schools and preschools in Glendale, not just public ones?
Yes. A lot of our school work in Glendale is private academies, church schools, Armenian day schools and preschools, where the building is smaller but the needs are the same: a locked front door with a video intercom, cameras on the lot and playground, and reliable Wi-Fi. We work around school hours and keep the site secure while we are there. Licensing and insurance are provided up front. It starts with a free site survey.
Can you install security cameras at a school during the year?
Yes. We schedule work after hours and over breaks, keep classrooms clear during the day and coordinate with facilities so there is no disruption to instruction.
Do you install lockdown-capable access control for schools?
Yes. Classroom and exterior doors can be locked from the front office or a phone in one step, with card and fob access for staff and audit logs.
Can you design Wi-Fi for a one-to-one device program?
Yes. We design from a heat map with one access point per classroom or two where device counts demand it, on Cat6A cabling with separate networks for students, staff and guests.
