Network and Camera Work in Van Nuys

Van Nuys is where I’m based, so this is the one area where I’m rarely more than a short drive from the job. That matters when a router dies on a Monday morning or a camera stops recording and you want it looked at without waiting for a far-off schedule.

Houses on slabs, garages turned into offices

Much of Van Nuys is single-story ranch houses and older stucco homes built on concrete slabs. There is no crawlspace to run cable through, so I work from the attic. I drop cable down inside the wall to a clean jack, and where a wall is solid or the roof is too low to crawl, I plan another path before I cut anything. Plenty of people here have converted a garage or back room into an office, and those rooms usually have the worst Wi-Fi in the house. A wired line out to them fixes it for good.

Shops and small offices along the boulevards

Van Nuys Boulevard, Victory and Sepulveda have a lot of small storefronts, workshops and one-room offices. These places usually need the same few things: a tidy network closet or shelf, a point-of-sale or office PC that stays connected, and cameras that cover the door, the counter and the back lot. I set up the switch and router, label the cable ends, and write down what plugs into what so the next person is not guessing.

Businesses near the airport often have a warehouse or hangar-style space with long cable runs. I can plan those with a proper switch at each end rather than stretching one run too far.

Jobs that fit here

• A back bedroom or garage office with no signal
• Cameras for a driveway, side gate or the back of a shop
• A slow connection that turns out to be an old router or a bad cable
• A laptop that will not start or has gotten slow

Start with a walkthrough. I look at the space, you show me where you want things, and you get a plan and a quote before I touch anything.
