Local considerations
- Craftsman and Spanish-style homes from the early 1900s are common, with plaster walls and limited attic space that call for careful pathway planning.
- Larger lots in the foothills mean outdoor Wi-Fi and camera coverage is often part of the scope, not an afterthought.
- Home offices are the most common driver, typically two wired drops at the desk plus a wired access point.

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.
