Apartment Security Cameras & Access Control Los Angeles
Apartment building cameras, gates and intercoms in Los Angeles
Most Angelenos rent, and most of those units are in mid-rise and garden-style buildings with a gated garage, a lobby door, a package room and a laundry room. Property managers in Koreatown, Westlake, Hollywood, Palms, North Hollywood and Downtown call about the same issues: the garage gate that stays up, packages walking out of the lobby, a tenant who props the side door, break-ins to cars in the garage, and an intercom from the 1980s that nobody can hear.

We install camera systems covering entries, garages, hallways, mail and package areas, pool decks and trash rooms, with retention that lets management answer a tenant complaint or an LAPD request. We replace old intercoms with phone-based entry, install fob or mobile access on lobby, garage and amenity doors, repair or replace gate readers, and add AI camera monitoring on garages where car break-ins keep happening. For new builds and renovations we run cabling for resident Wi-Fi, smart locks and leasing office networks.
Multi-tenant buildings need security that property managers can run from a phone: deactivate a fob at move-out, open the gate for a vendor, pull up the mailroom video when a package goes missing. We install systems built for that, and we know the HOA and property-management approval process.

Apartments & Multi-Tenant Buildings across Los Angeles
Koreatown and Westlake have dense older mid-rises with subterranean garages and long hallways, where garage cameras and a working gate are the priority. Hollywood and Palms have 1960s dingbats and courtyard buildings where a single camera at the gate and one at the laundry room covers most incidents. New podium buildings Downtown and in North Hollywood already have conduit and just need a system that works. Rent-stabilized and HOA buildings have their own approval steps, and we present a clear scope so boards can vote. Free site survey with the manager or board.
Cameras that stop theft, not just record it
AI Camera Monitoring watches your Los Angeles 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

Apartments & Multi-Tenant Buildings in Los Angeles — questions we get
Can I install security cameras in the common areas of my Los Angeles apartment building?
Yes. Lobbies, garages, hallways, courtyards, package rooms, laundry rooms and pool areas are all common areas where cameras are normal and legal, as long as they do not point into units and do not record audio. Posting notice signs is good practice. We help managers and HOA boards with a written scope for approval, and the site survey is free.
How do you stop the garage gate from being left open at a Los Angeles apartment building?
Usually a combination: fix or replace the gate operator and loop detectors, install a reader with credentials management can revoke, add a camera on the gate, and set an alert when the gate is held open past a set time. In garages with repeated car break-ins in Koreatown or Hollywood, AI camera monitoring adds a live voice-down after hours. We diagnose the gate on a free site survey.
Can you replace an old apartment intercom in Los Angeles with a phone-based system?
Yes. We install a video intercom at the lobby or gate that calls residents on their phones, lets them buzz guests in from anywhere, and logs every entry. It reuses existing conduit where possible and works with fob access on the same door. Delivery drivers get a managed code. It is one of the most common upgrades we do for buildings in Hollywood, Palms and the Valley.
How do you stop package theft in an apartment building?
Cameras at the mailroom and every entry, access control that stops tailgating, and a package room on its own reader. Video is available to management in seconds when something goes missing.
Can access control be managed by our property manager remotely?
Yes. Cloud-managed access lets management add residents, deactivate fobs and open doors for vendors from a phone, with a log of every event.
Can you monitor our parking garage overnight?
Yes. AI camera monitoring watches the garage and lot after hours, warns intruders off over speakers and escalates verified break-ins to police.
