Smart home, audio, Wi-Fi & camera installation in Downey
Downey is just next door to our Whittier home base. Downey's mix of mid-century ranch homes and newer remodels makes it a great fit for whole-home audio, wired Wi-Fi, and camera systems that look built-in rather than added on.
How Downey homes are built, and how we wire them
Mid-century, single-story homes
Much of Downey is single-story homes from the 1940s through the 1960s. Accessible attics make it straightforward to run Cat6 and speaker wire, so in-ceiling speakers, ceiling access points, and hardwired cameras can be installed cleanly with minimal patching.
Detached garages and backyard living
Many lots have a detached garage, a workshop, or a backyard patio that the house Wi-Fi doesn't reach. A wired outdoor access point or a link to the garage puts full-speed Wi-Fi and cameras where you actually need them.
Remodels and additions
Downey homeowners often remodel kitchens and add rooms. That's the best time to pre-wire for speakers, TVs, and access points while the walls are open.

What a typical Downey project looks like
Most Downey projects start in the attic. With single-story homes, we can usually reach every room from above, which keeps installs fast and patching minimal.
A common setup is a compact network rack in a closet or the garage, two or three ceiling access points plus one outside for the backyard, and four to eight hardwired cameras covering the driveway, front door, side yards, and back of the house.
If there's a detached garage or workshop, we extend the network to it with a buried cable or a wireless bridge so cameras and Wi-Fi work out there too.
Common questions
Yes. Downey is minutes from our Whittier base, and we regularly schedule site visits and installs there.
Yes. We can run a cable to an access point in the garage or, if a cable isn't practical, use a point-to-point wireless bridge to extend the network across the yard.
Not with our systems. Cameras record to a local NVR in your home, and the viewing app is free.
Many single-story Downey installs are completed in one day. Whole-home audio or automation projects typically take two to four days.
We can, or we can upgrade you to a hardwired system with local recording and no monthly fees. We'll explain the trade-offs so you can choose.
