From remote IT support in Orange County to full business IT support services, we make technology simple, secure, and cost-effective.
A professionally installed video surveillance system in Orange County does more than record footage — it deters crime, speeds up incident investigations, reduces liability exposure, and gives business owners real-time visibility into their operations from anywhere in the world. Burgi Technologies designs, installs, and supports commercial-grade surveillance solutions for businesses across Tustin, Irvine, Anaheim, Santa Ana, and throughout Orange County. We hold a 5.0-star rating across 60+ reviews and back every installation with our 100% happiness guarantee.
Whether you're securing a single-location office, a multi-site retail chain, or a sprawling car dealership lot, our team delivers surveillance infrastructure built to perform — day and night, rain or shine, year after year.
Off-the-shelf consumer cameras are not built for commercial environments. They lack the resolution, storage capacity, network integration, and management capabilities that businesses require. A professionally designed commercial surveillance installation addresses the full scope of your security needs:
The difference between a consumer setup and a professionally engineered system is the difference between "we have cameras" and "we have a security infrastructure." Burgi Technologies delivers the latter.
Not every camera is right for every location. Our team performs a site assessment before recommending any hardware, matching camera type to the specific demands of each coverage zone.
The modern standard for commercial surveillance. IP cameras transmit video over your existing network infrastructure, support high-resolution output (4MP, 8MP, and 4K options), and integrate with centralized video management software. They can be powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet), eliminating the need for separate power runs to each camera location.
PTZ cameras are motorized units that can pan horizontally, tilt vertically, and zoom in on subjects — either on a preset schedule or under manual operator control. They're ideal for large open areas like parking lots, warehouses, and dealership lots where a single camera needs to cover a wide area and track moving subjects with detail.
Dome cameras are flush-mounted in ceilings and offer a discreet, vandal-resistant form factor. Their dome enclosure makes it difficult to determine which direction the lens is pointing, providing a psychological deterrent effect. Common in retail stores, hotel lobbies, offices, and reception areas.
Bullet cameras are cylindrical, externally mounted units well-suited for long-distance outdoor coverage. Their visible form factor serves as a clear deterrent, and they're built for weather resistance. Ideal for parking structures, building exteriors, loading docks, and entry gates.
Thermal cameras detect heat signatures rather than visible light, making them effective in complete darkness, heavy fog, and other low-visibility conditions. They're used in high-security perimeters, critical infrastructure, and environments where detecting human presence — not visual identification — is the primary goal.
The camera is only one component of a surveillance system. The Video Management System (VMS) is the software platform that ties everything together — recording footage, enabling search and playback, managing camera settings, and delivering alerts. We work with enterprise-grade VMS platforms that support unlimited camera scaling, multi-site management, user access controls, and integration with third-party security systems.
A well-configured VMS lets you search footage by camera, time, motion event, or AI-detected trigger in seconds — not hours. For businesses with multiple locations, a centralized VMS dashboard consolidates all sites into a single interface, eliminating the need to log into separate systems.
Storage architecture is one of the most consequential decisions in any surveillance deployment. Both options have merit depending on your retention requirements, internet bandwidth, and budget.
Network Video Recorders (NVRs) store footage on hard drives located on-site. Local storage offers high throughput, no recurring bandwidth costs, and fast access to large volumes of footage. The tradeoff is that footage is at risk if a recorder is stolen or damaged in a break-in. Redundant storage and off-site backup mitigate this risk.
Cloud-based storage sends footage to remote servers, protecting it from on-site theft or damage. It enables access from anywhere and simplifies multi-site management. The primary considerations are ongoing subscription costs and the network bandwidth required to upload continuous high-resolution streams. Hybrid approaches — local primary storage with cloud backup for critical cameras — are often the right answer.
Our team helps you model retention requirements (30, 60, or 90+ days), bandwidth consumption, and total cost of ownership before recommending a storage architecture. Our network team ensures your infrastructure can handle the load — see our network implementation services in Orange County for how we design surveillance-ready networks.
Modern surveillance platforms go well beyond passive recording. AI-powered analytics transform your camera feeds into active intelligence tools that alert you to meaningful events without requiring anyone to watch screens around the clock.
AI analytics reduce the labor cost of security monitoring and dramatically increase your ability to respond to incidents as they happen rather than reviewing footage after the fact.
High-resolution IP cameras generate significant network traffic. A single 4K camera can consume 15–25 Mbps of bandwidth continuously. A 20-camera system at that resolution requires a network infrastructure specifically engineered to handle that load without degrading other business applications.
Burgi Technologies designs dedicated VLANs for surveillance traffic, installs managed PoE switches with the correct port counts and power budgets, and ensures your core network and internet connection are sized appropriately. Surveillance systems that share poorly-segmented networks with business workstations routinely experience dropped frames, delayed playback, and failed recordings — all of which defeat the purpose of having cameras.
Our network implementation team works in lockstep with our surveillance engineers to deliver an integrated infrastructure that performs reliably at scale.
Every surveillance system we install includes fully configured remote access. Business owners and security managers can view live feeds, review recorded footage, and receive push alerts on iOS and Android devices. Access is role-based — you control who can view which cameras and whether they have playback or live-only access.
Remote access is secured through encrypted connections and multi-factor authentication, ensuring that your camera feeds cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties. We do not leave default credentials in place or skip security hardening steps that cut corners on deployment time. For a deeper look at how we secure your broader IT environment, see our managed cybersecurity services in Orange County.
Surveillance cameras are most powerful when integrated with your access control system. When a door badge event occurs, your VMS can automatically pull up the camera feed nearest that door — showing you exactly who badged in and what they did immediately after. Alerts for forced doors, tailgating, or after-hours access can trigger both access control lockdowns and camera-based evidence capture simultaneously.
Burgi Technologies installs and integrates both surveillance and access control systems, giving you a unified security platform managed from a single interface rather than disjointed point solutions.
Dealership lots present unique surveillance challenges: large open areas, high-value inventory, after-hours vulnerability, and the need to document test drives and customer interactions. We deploy PTZ cameras for lot coverage, LPR systems at entry and exit points, and indoor cameras for showrooms and service bays. Our dealership IT team understands the operational context — visit our car dealership IT support page for the full picture of how we support automotive retailers.
Retail businesses face both external theft and internal shrink. Dome cameras in blind spots, AI-powered people counting, and POS-integrated surveillance (where camera footage is linked to transaction data) give loss prevention teams the visibility needed to identify patterns and prosecute theft effectively.
Office environments require coverage of entrances, reception areas, server rooms, and parking structures. Surveillance is paired with access control to ensure only authorized personnel reach sensitive areas. Executive teams can review footage remotely without IT involvement.
High-ceilinged warehouses with large floor plates need wide-angle and PTZ coverage, paired with perimeter monitoring for loading dock security. AI analytics help identify workflow inefficiencies as well as security events.
We follow a structured process that eliminates surprises and ensures your system is fully operational and documented at handoff:
Camera count depends on your facility size, layout, and coverage objectives. A typical 2,000 sq ft retail store may require 8–12 cameras. A dealership lot may require 20–40. We determine the right number during a site assessment — we never upsell cameras you don't need, and we don't undersell coverage that leaves blind spots.
Retention depends on your storage capacity and recording resolution. Most businesses configure 30–90 days of continuous recording. Motion-triggered recording can extend retention significantly by reducing storage consumption during low-activity periods. We help you model retention versus storage cost and size your system accordingly.
In most cases, yes. If your existing system uses IP cameras on a standard VMS platform, expansion is straightforward. Older analog systems may require hybrid encoders or phased replacement. We assess your current infrastructure and provide an honest recommendation — including whether an upgrade is worth the investment versus expanding what you have.
Improperly configured surveillance systems are a documented target for cybercriminals. Burgi Technologies applies security hardening to every system we install: unique strong passwords, firmware updates, network segmentation, and encrypted remote access. We also conduct regular security reviews under our managed services agreements to ensure systems remain hardened over time.
Burgi Technologies has earned a 5.0-star rating from 60+ Orange County business clients and backs every surveillance installation with a 100% happiness guarantee. If your system doesn't perform exactly as specified, we make it right — no arguments, no extra charges.
