SECURITY SYSTEMS

Cameras That Actually Cover What Matters

Most security companies install the cameras and leave the wiring to someone else. VoltGuard is a professional electrical contractor first, so we handle the wiring, power, network drops, and hardware in a single visit, with no handoff between contractors.

From a single camera over a front door to a full multi-building access control rollout, our team designs the system around your property, not a one-size-fits-all package.

WHAT WE DO

Security and Access Control in Oakland

We design, install, and configure complete security systems for homes and businesses across Oakland and the Bay Area.

HD Security Camera Installation

High-definition IP and CCTV cameras for entrances, parking lots, warehouses, and interior spaces, with night vision and weatherproof housings for outdoor use.

Access Control Systems

Keypad, card reader, and mobile-credential access control for offices, apartment buildings, and gated properties, with activity logs for every entry point.

Video Intercom Installation

Video-enabled entry systems for front doors, lobbies, and gates, with remote unlock from a phone or tablet.

Remote Monitoring and Mobile Access

View live footage and manage access from anywhere with a secure mobile app, so you can check in on your property without being on site.

Cloud and Local Storage

Cloud-based or on-site video storage options, sized to how long you need to keep footage on hand.

System Integration

We connect new cameras and access control to your existing alarm system, network, or property management software wherever possible, instead of starting from scratch.

Multi-Site Camera Networks

Centralized monitoring across multiple locations for businesses and property managers who need one dashboard for every site.

Retrofit and Upgrade Projects

Replacing outdated analog cameras or a failing access control panel with modern equipment, using your existing wiring wherever it's still usable.

24/7 Emergency Repair

Fast response when a camera goes down or an access point stops working, so your property isn't left unprotected.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had VoltGuard Electric & Security come out for an electrical issue we’d been putting off, and I’m really glad we chose them. They showed up on time, were friendly, and got right to work. They took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense and never made us feel pressured into anything extra.

The work turned out great, and you can tell they know what they’re doing. Everything was clean when they finished, and it’s been working perfectly ever since. It’s refreshing to find a company that’s reliable, communicates well, and actually follows through on what they promise.

I’d definitely recommend VoltGuard Electric & Security to anyone who needs electrical work done. Great experience from start to finish, and I’ll be using them again in the future.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install both residential and commercial security systems?

Yes. We install camera and access control systems for single-family homes, apartment buildings, offices, retail stores, and warehouses across Oakland and the Bay Area.

Can I view my cameras remotely from my phone?

Yes. Every system we install includes a mobile app so you can view live and recorded footage and manage access control from anywhere with an internet connection.

Do you work with brands I already have, or do I need to replace everything?

In many cases we can integrate new cameras or access control with your existing system and wiring. We'll tell you upfront during the site walkthrough whether a full replacement makes more sense.

Do I need a permit for a security camera or access control installation?

Most residential camera installations don't require a permit. Larger commercial access control systems sometimes do, depending on scope. We'll handle any required City of Oakland permitting as part of the project.

How long does a typical installation take?

A standard home system is usually completed in a single day. Larger commercial installations with multiple access points can take several days, which we'll outline in your written quote.

What happens if a camera or access point stops working after installation?

We offer 24/7 emergency repair for systems we've installed, so a failed camera or access point gets fixed quickly rather than leaving your property exposed.

Do you offer ongoing monitoring, or just installation?

We install and configure the system and set you up with self-monitoring through the mobile app. Ask us about maintenance plans if you want scheduled check-ins on top of that.
