Security Camera Installation for North Hollywood homes and businesses
North Hollywood camera work is dominated by two situations: package theft and shared access.
Package theft is straightforward to address but usually addressed badly. The mistake is a doorbell camera aimed at the street when packages are actually left behind a gate, on a side porch, or in a shared entryway. We walk it, find out where deliveries genuinely land, and put an identification-quality camera at face height covering that spot.
Shared access is the NoHo-specific one. A lot of properties here have shared driveways, alley access, common courtyards or a back unit — which means the approach routes are more numerous than on a standard lot, and some of them involve areas your neighbors also use. That needs care with privacy masking and camera aim, and it's worth doing right.
For renters: wireless systems that leave nothing behind are a perfectly good answer and I'll install them without trying to talk you into a wired job you can't take with you.

Tell me what's wrong
Call, text a photo, or fill in the form. Photos of the model plate or the problem area cut the guesswork enormously.

Get a real price range
You get a range before I drive out, not after. If it's a job that needs a licensed contractor, I'll tell you that on the phone instead of wasting your time.
- 3
I show up in the window
You get a text when I'm on the way. Shoe covers, drop cloths, and the work area left cleaner than I found it.
- 4
Pay when it works
Flat price agreed up front. Card, Zelle, cash or check. Parts I install carry the manufacturer warranty and my labor is guaranteed for 90 days.
Security Camera Installation in North Hollywood — common questions
How much does security camera installation cost in Burbank?
Labor runs $160–$280 per wired camera and $95–$160 per wireless camera. A typical four-camera wired home system is $700–$1,200 in labor plus equipment; nationally the all-in average for a professional install is about $1,290. An eight-camera business system generally lands at $1,400–$2,600 in labor. The site walk and quote are free.
Do I need a monthly subscription?
No. With a local NVR or a camera that records to an SD card, you own your footage and pay nothing monthly. Subscriptions buy convenience — cloud backup, longer retention, smarter alerts — and for some households that's worth it. But you should choose it, not be defaulted into it, and I'll set up a no-subscription system happily.
How many cameras do I need?
For a typical Burbank single-family home, four covers it well: front door at identification height, driveway, side-yard access, and rear/patio. Corner lots and homes with alley access usually want a fifth or sixth. For a small retail space: entry, register overhead, stockroom, and rear exit. More cameras poorly placed beat fewer cameras well placed almost never.
Can you install cameras I already bought?
Yes, and I'll tell you honestly whether they're any good for the spot you have in mind before mounting them. If one of them is wrong for its location — a camera with no low-light capability aimed at an unlit alley, say — you'll hear that while it's still returnable.
Will you drill through my stucco?
Only where necessary, and always sealed properly. Most Burbank installs route through the attic and out through the eave or soffit, which leaves no visible penetration in the wall face and keeps cable out of the sun. Where a wall pass-through is unavoidable, it's drilled at a downward angle, sealed with exterior-grade sealant, and finished with a proper gasket plate.
Can you help if I rent my NoHo apartment?
Absolutely. Plenty of work is renter-friendly: mounting with minimal or no wall damage, Wi-Fi and network fixes, appliance repair, computer and electronics work. And if a repair is legally the landlord's obligation, I'll tell you so rather than charge you for it.
My ADU has no Wi-Fi. Can that be fixed?
Yes, and it's one of the most common NoHo calls. The right answer is usually a wired or point-to-point link out to the back unit with its own access point, rather than another extender straining through two exterior walls. Typically a half-day job.

Sample content. These reviews are placeholders written to show the layout. Replace them with real customer reviews in src/config.py, then set PLACEHOLDER_REVIEWS = False to enable review structured data.
“Our Samsung fridge stopped cooling on a Friday. Armen came out the same afternoon, found a failed evaporator fan, and had it running before dinner. He showed me the old part and explained exactly what happened. No upsell, no drama.”
“Three-story townhouse with Wi-Fi that died on the top floor. He ran a hardwired access point instead of selling me another extender, and now I get full speed in every room. He labeled every cable in the closet too.”
“Four cameras around the house plus a doorbell, all on my phone. He walked the property with me first and moved two camera positions based on where our packages actually get dropped. Clean cable runs, nothing hanging.”
