Who shows up

Hi, I'm Zack.

Fifteen years on the tools across the west Denver metro. Boxed camera systems stall at the same three places: mounting into real material, getting power where the camera wants to live, and aiming so footage shows faces.

That last fifty feet is the service. I can add the outlet under the eave or upgrade the doorbell transformer properly, which is routinely what separates the camera you bought from the camera that works.

What’s covered

Security Camera Installation services in Denver, CO

Everything under this heading, handled on the same visit where the job allows.

Camera Mounting & Wiring

Wired and wireless cameras mounted into any exterior surface, with power and cable runs done clean.

Video Doorbells

Doorbells installed on existing wiring — with the chime and transformer upgrades half of them require.

Coverage Planning

A walk of the property to place cameras where footage matters: entries, approaches, gates, and drives.

Setup & Handoff

Networked, recording, notifying your phone, and explained — finished means finished.

How it works

From your list to done

  1. Step 01

    Send me the list

    Call, text, or use the form. Photos help more than descriptions do — most jobs can be quoted from a picture without a site visit.

  2. Step 02

    Get a real number back

    Usually within one business day, itemized, with materials at cost and no charge for driving out to you.

  3. Step 03

    I show up and fix it

    The person who quoted your job is the person who does it. Batch a few items into one visit and the whole list costs less than two separate trade calls.

“Great work, great communication, great follow-through. I'm very impressed with the attic fan install Zack did, which involved long, hot work amidst blown-in insulation. He made himself available quickly and then stayed late to finish the job. Thanks Zack.”

Common questions

Security Camera Installation FAQs

Quick answers to the questions Denver homeowners and businesses ask me most.

Wired or wireless cameras — which should I get?

Wireless wins on install simplicity and flexibility; wired wins on reliability and never charging batteries in January. The honest middle: wireless cameras with dedicated power runs — the flexibility without the battery chore, which is mostly a wiring job, which is mostly why I'm here. Your Wi-Fi coverage at the far corners of the property usually casts the deciding vote, and I'll test that before recommending.

My video doorbell keeps dying or won't ring the chime. Why?

Classic transformer problem — video doorbells draw far more power than the 1980s button they replaced, and the original transformer can't feed them. The symptoms are exactly yours: batteries draining despite being 'wired,' chimes that stopped chiming, cameras rebooting at night. The fix is a higher-VA transformer, a straightforward swap I do as part of doorbell installs.

Can you fish the camera cables through the wall so nothing shows?

That's the standard here, not the upgrade — cables fished through attic, soffit, and wall cavities, penetrations sealed, and the outside showing a camera rather than a cable run. Some routes are genuinely blocked by framing or masonry, and there I'll route the cleanest visible path in paintable raceway. Draped-over-the-gutter is never on the menu.

Do you set up the app and show me how it works before you leave?

Yes — an installed camera nobody can use is a half-finished job. I'll get it on your wi-fi, set the recording and notifications the way you want them, and walk you through it. I don't take login details away with me; you own the account and I'll never need access to it afterwards.
