Apartment garages in 90404 and 90405 get hit for bikes and packages. Property managers get calls about people sleeping in stairwells. Most of these properties already have cameras, but the footage is too blurry to identify anyone, or the recorder stopped working months ago and nobody noticed.
ITECH2 installs IP camera systems in Santa Monica that produce usable footage. We place cameras at real choke points such as entries, alleys, register areas, garage gates and service drives, run Cat6 to each one, and set up recording with remote viewing on your phone. We use weather-sealed housings for the salt air and vandal-resistant domes at ground level. Every install starts with a free site survey to map coverage before we drill a single hole.
We install 4K and 5MP IP cameras with true wide dynamic range so faces are readable against bright doors and headlights. Recording is local on an NVR with health monitoring, or cloud where your insurer or corporate policy requires it. Every system is set up so you can hand video to police in minutes.
What is included
- Commercial IP cameras: turret, bullet, dome, multi-sensor and license-plate cameras
- NVR or cloud recording sized for 30, 60 or 90-day retention
- Cat6 PoE cabling, conduit and weatherproof mounts done to code
- Remote viewing on phone and desktop with user permissions
- Camera placement engineered for faces, plates and entry points — not just wide shots
- Optional 24/7 AI monitoring with live voice-down deterrence

Security Camera Installation across Santa Monica
Downtown Santa Monica (90401) means dense retail with alley entrances, shared parking structures and heavy foot traffic, so cameras go on both the storefront and the back door. Main Street and Ocean Park in 90405 are small storefronts where a discreet dome and a clean cable run matter. The dealership row on Santa Monica Blvd needs wide lot coverage and plate capture at every drive. Apartment buildings across 90403 and 90404 need garage, lobby and mail room coverage that works with the HOA. The medical offices near UCLA Santa Monica and Providence Saint John's need cameras that respect patient privacy while covering entries and parking.

Security Camera Installation in Santa Monica — questions we get
Where should I put security cameras at my Santa Monica store?
At minimum, cover the front entrance, the register, the back or alley door, and any stockroom. On the Promenade and Main Street, the alley door is where most break-ins happen, so that camera should be high resolution and well lit. If you have a parking spot or loading area behind the store, cover it too. We map camera positions at the free site survey and show you the actual field of view before installing.
Can I watch my Santa Monica business cameras from my phone?
Yes. Every camera system we install in Santa Monica includes remote viewing, so you can check live feeds and play back recordings from your phone or laptop wherever you are. Owners with multiple locations, such as a shop on Montana Avenue and one downtown, can view both from one app. We set it up, test it with you, and show your staff how to pull clips for police reports.
Will your cameras hold up in Santa Monica's salt air and fog?
We spec cameras for the coast. Outdoor cameras in Santa Monica, especially west of Lincoln and anywhere near the Pier and Ocean Avenue, get salt-laden fog most mornings, which corrodes cheap housings and connectors within a year or two. We use weather-sealed cameras, sealed junction boxes, and dielectric grease on connections, and we mount to avoid water pooling. It costs a little more up front and saves replacing cameras. Free site survey.
How many cameras does my business need?
Most small commercial properties need 6 to 16 cameras: every entry, the register or reception, the loading area, the lot and the perimeter. The free site survey gives you an exact count and a camera map before you spend anything.
Do you install cameras with audio and license plate capture?
Yes. We install two-way audio cameras for deterrence and dedicated license plate cameras at driveways and gates, aimed and shuttered for plates at night.
Will my cameras work with AI monitoring later?
Yes. Every system we install is monitoring-ready, and most existing IP systems can be connected too. You can add 24/7 monitoring at any time, from $1 per camera per day with the first month free.
