Local considerations
- A mix of 1920s bungalows and postwar single-story homes — attic access is usually good, which makes Ethernet retrofits straightforward.
- Wider coastal lots mean exterior cameras often need a driveway and side-yard plan rather than just a doorbell.
- Detached garages converted to offices are common, usually served with a fiber or conduit run.

Wired camera installation is priced per camera location plus the recorder and setup. Each camera needs its own cable from the recorder or PoE switch, so the number of cameras and how hard it is to reach each exterior location decide most of the price.
