I handle the technical side: diagnostics, programming, and integration.

Cameras & NVR

Camera Setup & Integration

Camera not recording, NVR not accessible remotely, footage you can't retrieve? I configure cameras, NVR settings, and remote viewing for UniFi Protect, Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis systems.

  • UniFi Protect setup
  • Hikvision / Dahua camera & NVR setup
  • Remote viewing & mobile app access
  • Recording schedules & motion zones
  • Network camera integration
  • Video intercom / doorbell setup

Network integration

Security Systems on the Network

Cameras and access control are network devices — I set them up right: segmented VLANs, PoE switches, and remote/VPN access, so they don't drag down (or open up) the rest of your network.

  • VLAN segmentation for security devices
  • PoE switch sizing & configuration
  • Remote access & VPN setup
  • Bandwidth & storage planning
  • UniFi / Cisco network integration
  • System audit and cleanup

  • Door controller configuration
  • Keypad & card reader setup
  • User database management

Walkthrough

Physical Security Walkthrough

On-site assessment for property managers, HOAs, and small businesses: camera coverage gaps, access points, doors/gates that don't close or stay secured, access control that isn't enforced. You get a written list of findings and recommendations — what to fix and which type of specialist to call. Advisory only: no repair, installation, or programming of gates.

  • Camera coverage review
  • Access point walkthrough
  • Door/gate condition check (advisory)
  • Written findings + referral recommendations

Common problems

Issues I run into every week

Camera feed grainy, offline, or laggy

Bandwidth, PoE, or network config issues — not always the camera itself.

Keypad codes not working, lockouts

Controller misconfiguration, expired schedules, or a messy user database.

Can't access cameras remotely

NVR not configured for remote access, port issues, or app not set up correctly.

Old tenant codes still active

Nobody documented the access system. User cleanup and audit needed.

No idea what's in the system

Inherited a property with undocumented cameras and access panels.

Nobody's checked the whole picture

New property manager or owner wants a clear view of camera and access coverage before deciding what to fix.

FAQ

Questions people usually ask

Do you physically install or mount equipment? +

No — configuration, programming, and integration on equipment that's already mounted and cabled is what I do. For new installs or physical work, I can point you to the right specialist during a walkthrough or diagnostic.

My camera/access brand isn't listed — can you still help? +

Probably. UniFi, Cisco, Hikvision, Dahua, and Axis are the most common brands I work with, but I've dealt with others. Text me the brand and model and I'll let you know.

Can you help with a system someone else installed? +

Yes. That's common — property managers inherit systems with no documentation or the original installer is gone. I start with a diagnostic to understand what's there.

What areas in LA do you cover? +

Greater Los Angeles area. Text me your location and I'll confirm availability.

What's included in a physical security walkthrough? +

An on-site assessment of camera coverage, access points, and whether doors/gates are closing and securing properly. You get a written list of findings and recommendations on what to fix and which type of specialist to call. It's advisory, not a repair visit.

Do you do same-day service? +

Sometimes, depending on schedule. Text me with what's going on and I'll let you know how soon I can get there.

Contact

Camera not working? Access system a mess?
