Wireless cameras are easy to buy, but a wired system with dedicated power and network runs is more reliable and doesn't depend on batteries or Wi-Fi signal strength at every corner of the property. At Site Electric Services, we run dedicated wiring and power for home security camera systems.
We proudly serve Vallejo, Benicia, Napa, Fairfield, Concord, Martinez, and surrounding areas with expert-level service that's built on experience, honesty, and an unmatched reputation for quality.
Wired systems are more reliable — no batteries to die, no Wi-Fi dropouts, and consistent power and recording. Wireless is easier to install but trades some reliability for convenience, especially in spots far from your router.
Security camera wiring covers running power and, for many systems, network cable to each camera location — whether that's PoE (Power over Ethernet) cable for networked cameras or a dedicated low-voltage circuit for traditional CCTV systems. We plan cable routing through attics, walls, and exterior runs so wiring stays hidden and protected.
We also install a dedicated outlet or power supply for the recording equipment (NVR or DVR) and make sure everything is properly grounded and surge protected.
Our focus is on residential electrical work done right the first time, not rushed patch jobs. We bring an unmatched level of care and expertise to each job, with a reputation built on referrals, repeat business, and integrity.
We start by walking through where you want cameras and reviewing your equipment or planned system.
Our electricians plan the wiring path from each camera location back to your recording equipment.
We explain your options in plain language and provide an accurate, upfront estimate before any work begins.
We run and terminate all wiring, then test each camera connection before we leave.
Battery-powered and Wi-Fi-only cameras are convenient to install, but weak signal, dead batteries, and interference are common complaints — wired power and network connections solve all three.
We proudly provide security camera wiring throughout Vallejo, Benicia, Napa, Fairfield, Martinez, Concord, American Canyon, Vacaville, and Walnut Creek.
Whether you own a historic home in Benicia, a mid-century house in Vallejo, or a new construction in Napa, we have the knowledge and tools to get your security camera system wired safely and reliably.

Wired cameras get continuous power and a stable data connection, so you're not dealing with dead batteries or a camera that drops offline when Wi-Fi is weak. They also tend to support better video quality and consistent recording.
Most camera systems run on low-voltage power supplied through a central hub — often a PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch or NVR — rather than each camera needing its own household circuit. We size the power supply to match your system's number of cameras.
We can run wiring through finished walls using techniques that minimize patching, but an accessible attic or crawlspace generally makes for a cleaner, faster install with less repair work afterward.
We wire and install customer-supplied systems — just confirm the camera and NVR/hub specs ahead of time so we run the right type of cable to the right locations.
Installation typically runs approximately $150 per device, with materials provided by the homeowner.
