Security camera cabling across California for offices, warehouses, retail, healthcare, schools, and industrial sites. Access Cabling pulls dedicated CAT6 PoE home-runs and fiber to every camera, with proper grounding, surge protection, and TIA-606-B labeling. Licensed C-10/C-7 (CSLB #992009), 28+ years.
The camera hardware changes every 5-7 years; the cable in the walls stays. A properly installed CAT6 home-run to every camera location will support the next generation of cameras and the one after. Under-scoped cabling — daisy chains, mixed-quality runs, no grounding on exterior — costs 3-5x more to fix later than to do right the first time.
Standard cameras: PoE (15W), CAT6 UTP is fine. PTZ and heated dome: PoE+ (30W), CAT6 with proper heat dissipation in bundles. Multi-sensor 360° and heavy-analytics: PoE++ (60-90W), CAT6A recommended to reduce heat and voltage drop on longer runs. We calculate PoE budget per switch and camera load, not just per port.
OSP-rated or gel-filled CAT6 in EMT conduit, grounded at building entry per NEC 800.100 with intersystem bonding, surge protector at both ends of every exterior run, weatherproof strain-relief and drip loops at the camera housing. Cameras above 25 feet or on rooftops also need lightning protection at the mast.
Camera schedule with camera ID, location, IP address, PoE budget, cable ID, and switch/port assignment. Floor plan with camera coverage cones. Fluke test report per drop. Delivered as bound PDF plus native files.
Share your scope — square footage, drop or device count, and timeline — and a senior estimator returns a written, itemized proposal within 48 hours. Free site survey, no obligation.
Vendor-agnostic. We specify best-in-class components for each project — copper, fiber, racks, power, wireless and access control from the industry's leading manufacturers.

Brand references reflect products Access Cabling has installed on commercial projects. Trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
The cable itself is identical CAT6, but design considerations differ: one home-run per camera (no daisy chains), higher PoE loads on some cameras, exterior grounding and surge on outdoor runs, and switch-port PoE budget planning. Also, camera placement is often driven by coverage requirements that don't align with standard IDF layouts, sometimes requiring extra pathway or extenders.
Yes — the cabling is the same regardless of camera brand (Verkada, Axis, Hanwha, Avigilon, Bosch, Sony, etc.). We coordinate mount type, PoE class, and network configuration with your integrator or self-install the cameras end-to-end.
Depends on coverage requirements, but a good baseline is 1 interior camera per 1,500-2,500 sq ft of open office, plus every entry, elevator lobby, server room, and receiving door. A 20,000 sq ft single-tenant office typically runs 15-25 interior cameras.
Yes — this is the ideal window. Rough-in during framing, trim during commissioning, all coordinated with the GC. Post-construction pulls in hard-lid ceilings cost 3-5x more.
One-year workmanship warranty from Access Cabling. On qualifying installs with end-to-end Panduit/CommScope/Leviton components we register the 20-25 year manufacturer system warranty.
