SECURITY SYSTEMS
Cameras That Actually Cover What Matters
Most disappointing camera systems fail on design, not hardware. Cameras pointed at the wrong angles, backlit entrances, no coverage of the approach, and footage nobody can retrieve when it is needed.
VoltGuard designs the system first — coverage, sightlines, lighting and storage — then installs it as proper low-voltage cabling rather than a set of wireless units hoping for a signal.
WHAT WE DO
Security and Access Control in Oakland
Residential and commercial surveillance, plus door entry and access control for managed buildings.
HD CCTV and IP cameras
Wired camera systems designed around coverage and sightlines rather than camera count.
4K and night vision
High-resolution and low-light cameras where identification, not just detection, is the requirement.
NVR and DVR setup
Recording hardware sized to the retention period you actually need, configured and secured.
Remote access and mobile app
Live and recorded viewing from phone or desktop, set up and tested before handover.
Commercial multi-camera builds
Larger installations for retail, warehouses, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings.
PTZ and doorbell cameras
Pan-tilt-zoom coverage for wide areas, and video doorbells integrated into the wider system.
Access control and door entry
Keypad, fob and card entry for controlled doors. Confirm current VoltGuard scope before launch.
Intercom and video entry
Audio and video entry systems for apartment buildings and gated commercial premises.
Low-voltage cabling
Structured cabling done properly, so the system can be expanded rather than rebuilt.
WHY US
Why Oakland Businesses Choose VoltGuard
A security system is only as good as the design behind it and the cabling underneath it.

02
Licensed electrical contractor
Low-voltage work carried out by a C-10 licensed contractor, fully insured.
03

04

HOW WE WORK
How a Security Install Runs
Four stages from walkthrough to a system you know how to use.
01
Site walkthrough
We walk the property, identify entry points and blind spots, and discuss what you need to see.
02
System design
Camera positions, resolution, storage and retention specified, then quoted as a written proposal
03
Installation and cabling
Cameras mounted, structured cabling run, recorder installed and network configured.
04
Configuration and training
Remote access set up, users created, and a handover session so the system is actually usable.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cameras do I need?
Fewer, well-placed cameras beat many badly placed ones. The walkthrough establishes the count against actual entry points and blind spots.
Can I view the cameras from my phone?
Yes. Remote viewing is configured and tested before handover, on both mobile and desktop.
How long is footage kept?
Retention depends on camera count, resolution and recorder storage. Most commercial sites specify 30 days; we size the hardware to your requirement.
Do you install access control and door entry?
This is listed as part of the service. Confirm the current scope of VoltGuard's access control work before this page goes live.
Wired or wireless cameras?
Wired for anything that matters. Wireless cameras depend on signal strength and batteries, and both fail at inconvenient moments
Can you work on an existing system?
Often yes — adding cameras, replacing a failed recorder or reconfiguring remote access. We assess the existing cabling first.
Do you handle commercial and multi-tenant buildings?
Yes. Retail, restaurants, warehouses and managed residential buildings, including shared entry and intercom systems.
