Testimonials
Campbell and his team installed an access card system at our facility and they were great! We are definitely going to utilize them again for our other facilities.
Helped us solve a “need to see in the dark” problem in less than 24-hours! They were a life saver, incredibly responsive, and very affordable. Thank you for your help.
Great place to do business with no matter what size of job you need. We had multiple security camera systems installed with over 150 cameras as well as multiple building and gate access control. All are working well with no complaints.
A Brief Overview
Security cameras capture usable, live video from both the interior and exterior areas of your business. The signal transmitted from the security camera is displayed “live” on closed circuit television, commonly referred to as CCTV, and stored to a set of files within the Digital Video Recorder – DVR, Network Video Recorder – NVR, or cloud storage options. These devices allow you to view archived video through a Video Management Software (VMS) solution to be viewed as needed. Emerging technology using cloud-based video management and archive storage is also becoming more reliable and affordable. Configuring these devices with a broadband internet connection will allow you to view live and recorded video from virtually anywhere from any device – PC’s, Tablets, Smartphone. The advantages in doing so are many, but we like to sum it up by promising you a new level of command and control to manage your business, assets, and employees.

Brands of Commercial Security Cameras
If we had a nickel for every brand of camera… There’s a scene in the movie, Armageddon where the Russian Cosmonaut, Lev, is trying to fix something in a hurry on the spacecraft as they are leaving the asteroid. He yells in his Russian accent, “Yeah! Russian part, American parts all made in Taiwan!” We like to use Dahua, Hikvision, Axis, and Arecont Vision cameras. All of these brands are also available in what are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) cameras. Depending on the type of camera specified – dome or bullet, lens type, IP, CVI, TVI or Analog we can sometimes save you a lot of money if we go the OEM route. As previously mentioned, the biggest factor in choosing a camera brand is support and warranty. Most camera brands offer the same or similar features. It’s whether they back-up their product with advanced replacements, repairs, and good tech support that really sets a camera manufacturer apart from another. Let our qualified technicians work with you to develop and design the security system that best fits your needs and budget. We will assist you with navigating the plethora of alternatives including IP, TVI, CVI, and Analog cameras. What resolution is best for your application and price requirements? How would you like to view the video? From a cellphone or mobile device, on the company network, from a remote office or command center, or a video monitoring station with live, real-time response and voice down capabilities? No solution is unattainable. We are experts at explaining your options and educating you on the most current technologies while also staying with some of the old tried and true solutions that are still very effective. Contact us today to learn more about our commercial video surveillance systems including digital video surveillance. We service businesses within the Southern California area including cities in and around Los Angeles, Orange County, and the San Gabriel Valley.
Our Process
Our company works with a variety of businesses, government and law enforcement agencies, health care facilities, schools, distribution centers and new construction projects. All of these different respective entities have unique needs, so there is no “one-size-fits-all” security system solution. As a response, we have developed a very efficient process that allows us to adapt to these diverse conditions.
First, we conduct a customer needs assessment, and it is quite comprehensive. We thoroughly survey the site, and we gain an understanding of the security protocols and the business practices. Of course, we find out what the budget for the project will be. After all of these factors have been taken into consideration, we design and engineer the ideal security system.
Installation is the next step in the process, our professional security system technicians are the best in the business. In our industry, the only constant is change, because technology always advances. Our team members receive ongoing education and training, so they are always fully prepared to work with cutting edge security systems. Once everything is in place to our satisfaction, testing and calibration will come next. When we are certain that all systems are go, we provide thorough, in-depth customer training.
SoCal Access and Video provides exceptional support and warranty after your system is installed for ongoing maintenance to protect your investment and keep your system functioning at its optimum level.
