Construction Site Cameras & Low Voltage Santa Monica
Low voltage rough-in and site security for Santa Monica construction
Santa Monica builds constantly despite the limited land: mixed-use apartment projects downtown and along Lincoln, Colorado and Wilshire, tenant improvements in the 26th Street office campuses, hotel renovations on Ocean Avenue, medical office build-outs near the hospitals, and a steady flow of high-end residential work North of Montana and in Sunset Park. General contractors need a low-voltage sub that shows up at rough-in, stays coordinated with the electrician, and passes inspection.

They also need the job site itself protected, because tools, copper and appliances walk off Santa Monica sites every week.
ITECH2 handles the low-voltage scope for Santa Monica construction: conduit and cabling rough-in, structured cabling and fiber, camera and access control pre-wire, AV infrastructure, and trim-out and certification at the end. We also set up temporary AI camera monitoring on active job sites so a live agent watches the site after hours and calls police when someone climbs the fence. Free site survey.
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

- Temporary Wi-Fi for the site office and trailers
Construction & New Builds across Santa Monica
Santa Monica construction runs through a rigorous plan check and inspection process at the Permit Services Center on Main Street, with electronic plan review and design review on many projects. Downtown and Lincoln Blvd sites are tight, with no lay-down space and neighbors on all sides, so deliveries and staging are planned to the hour. Tenant improvements at Colorado Center and the Water Garden run on building schedules. Residential work in 90402 and 90405 sits on narrow streets with strict hours. Job site theft is worst on sites near the 10 and along alleys.
Cameras that stop theft, not just record it
AI Camera Monitoring watches your Santa Monica 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 Monica — questions we get
Can you do low voltage rough-in for a new apartment or mixed-use building in Santa Monica?
Yes. We provide conduit, boxes, backbone pathways and cabling rough-in for residential and mixed-use projects in Santa Monica, coordinated with the electrician and framer, then return for trim-out of jacks, access control, cameras, intercoms and Wi-Fi. We produce as-built drawings and certification reports for the closeout package. Bring us in during design so pathways are right. Free site survey.
How do I keep my Santa Monica job site from being robbed overnight?
A temporary AI camera monitoring setup is the most effective option. Solar or generator-powered camera units with cellular connectivity watch the fence line and material storage, a live agent reviews anyone detected after hours, and a loudspeaker warns them off while police are called. Service starts at $1 per camera per day a month, first month free, and moves with the project. We plan coverage at a free site survey.
Do you coordinate with general contractors and inspectors in Santa Monica?
Yes. We work from your schedule, attend coordination meetings, coordinate with the electrical sub on pathways and power, and are on site for low-voltage inspections. We know the Santa Monica Permit Services Center process and the documentation inspectors expect. On tenant improvements at the 26th Street campuses we also follow the building's rules. Send us the drawings and we will start with a free site survey.
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.
