Most camera systems fail at the only moment they matter: the footage exists, and it's useless. We design coverage backward from what you'd actually need to hand an investigator — identification at the entry, detection along the line — and mount for the night shot, not the daylight demo, since almost everything worth reviewing happens in the dark.
Encino is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, so gate, fence and wall permits go through LADBS and the fire rules are LAFD's. On lots the City maps as Hillside Area, side and rear fences top out at 6 feet, and outside required yards a retaining wall is limited to one wall up to 12 feet, or two up to 10 feet set at least 3 feet apart, without a Zoning Administrator's approval. We check the parcel's zone and hillside status before quoting any rebuild.
Encino camera systems cover a drive, the front entry and a rear line that often backs onto hillside brush, recorded on a private NVR in the house. LADWP has warned that fire-weather shutoffs in high fire risk areas can run past 48 hours, so the plan puts the recorder and PoE switch on battery backup sized to the cameras they power.
Walked at night as well as daylight, listing what you'd need to prove.
Camera count, position, lens and retention, approved before mounting.
Cabled, mounted and focused at night, every view signed off on screen.
You get the app and layout in writing, and we confirm it's recording.
Scoped to your property, not a flat per-item rate. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.
Only if the recorder and the PoE switch that powers the cameras are on battery backup. LADWP has warned that fire-weather shutoffs in high fire risk areas can last more than 48 hours, so the backup is sized to the camera load, with its run time stated in the plan. Viewing from your phone also needs the modem and router on backup.
The drive and the gate first, at a height and angle that identifies a face or a plate, then the front entry and the rear line where the lot meets the hillside. Each view is aimed and focused at night, since that's when the footage you'd review is recorded.
Fewer than most quotes assume. Coverage follows choke points — entries, drives, walkways — not square footage.
We size storage for 30 days by default, since incidents routinely surface a week or two later.
Yes. Every system includes remote viewing on phone and desktop, set up so it's reachable without exposing the recorder to the open internet.
Name, phone and ZIP. We walk it before we price it.
We protect people, property, and peace.
