I recently decided to upgrade my security system since technology has come a long way in 10 years. California Security Cameras did the upgrade for me and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. A quality security system is truly invaluable when you consider the peace of mind it brings, and this is a company you can absolutely trust. The process began with excellent communication from the office before any work was even scheduled; they provided quotes in a timely manner that were easy to understand and fit perfectly within my budget. What impressed me most was that they use only quality equipment, and Israel took the time to review both what I needed and what I didn't need, which was equally important to me. Israel and his team can be counted on to show up right on schedule and complete the work in a timely manner. The installation itself is top-quality, with a lot of care going into strategic placement to ensure total coverage. Before any work started, Israel walked through the property with me and openly listened to my needs before deciding on the final camera placements. Additionally, they are respectful of your home and animals while working. they take care to close gates and doors when coming in and out which was important to me. Once the installation was complete, he tested the entire system, ensured all cameras were adjusted properly, and then personally went over how to use the system. I'm the type of person who asks a lot of questions about projects before, during, and after, and Israel and his team made sure that I fully understood everything before wrapping things up. If you are looking for a professional, reliable security team, I highly recommend California Security Cameras! read more

Isreal took the time and was extremely helpful. He solved our issue and explained everything in detail. We also had great customer service leading up to the appt. read more

Just had CSC come out to install additional cameras to the original system they installed for me about 4 years ago. The process was super smooth with Israel coming out to check the areas for a quote the next day after I reached out, to quickly getting a quote for the work. The day of the install went super smooth. He even went back and looked at our existing system to make a few small adjustments. Overall, excellent service and very happy with the service. read more

California Security Cameras was absolutely amazing. When I didn't feel secure, they stepped in and truly made safety a priority. From the very beginning, the technician took the time to walk me through the entire process and made sure I fully understood how the system works. I never felt rushed, only supported, respected, and truly valued as a customer. What stood out most was how much they genuinely value their customers' security and peace of mind. He went above and beyond to reassure me that I would be happy with the product and that everything was set up properly and working exactly as it should. The level of quality and value in both the service and the equipment was outstanding. He worked within my budget, offered multiple affordable solutions, and was patient, knowledgeable, and kind throughout the entire experience. They also made it clear that they would be there if anything ever happened with the system, which gave me real confidence and trust. What is truly amazing is how accessible the technician is and how responsive the company is overall. You can always reach out and get in touch with someone when you need help. They genuinely make sure their customers can get a hold of them even after the installation is complete. Many companies disappear once the job is done, but California Security Cameras continues to be available and supportive. This is honestly the best service I have ever experienced. I am extremely thankful for their work and highly recommend California Security Cameras to anyone looking for reliable, high quality, and trustworthy security support. read more

Israel and his team offered top quality services, installed 7 POE cameras for me and for the outdoor ones, used pipe for proper wire concealment and protection, and painted them. His team were very punctual and friendly, easy to work with for a fair price. read more

Had CSC install systems at both my office and home -- clean work and well-integrated setup. They walked me through camera placement options, handled the wiring neatly, and set up remote access on all my devices without a hitch. Everything's been running smoothly, and it's given me real peace of mind, especially with some recent travel and after-hours office access. The app interface is straightforward, and footage quality is sharp day and night. Good value for the level of coverage and support. Would recommend if you're looking for a no-nonsense, reliable security upgrade. read more

We have used Israel and California's Security Systems before in the installation and removal of our office video system. Israel is very accommodating, communicative and conscientious. He insures the work is done to your requirements. He values his customers. We will be using him again. read more

We have been using products and services of California's Security Systems at our business for more than 6 years. Our system has been working very well ever since with no glitches or issues. Just smooth sailing...great! read more

This company did a great job. They are responsible, reliable, communicative, and excellent customer service. They did what they said they would do, and did it well. I highly recommend them. Claudia Hernandez read more

Israel & team are incredible professionals. They helped me install security cameras at my house and they were very knowledgeable with incredible quality cameras. I highly recommend using California Security Cameras for your business or residence. Thank you! read more

California Security Camaras did outstanding job! Starting with the office staff, so professional documenting my concerns and passing them on to technician. Israel came out made sure all nine camaras were working properly he also installed software on any device we wanted, so we could keep watch of our home from anywhere. Israel knows his stuff and if not, he's got the support staff to get it done. The job was done with a great attitude willing to go the extra mile. Israel and the office staff thank you, for your outstanding performance it is greatly appreciated. If anyone is thinking of security camaras these are the people that will go the extra mile for sure. read more

Israel came out to our home to review our current camera set up, discussed all the options he recommended, and demonstrated great expertise and knowledge in overall home security needs. The company as a whole is very professional from start to finish. Excellent customer service all around; I would recommend them. read more

The service was great. Israel did a great job setting up security cameras around our business at Above and Beyond Senior Care. Thanks to them everything is super secure! read more

We have used Israel and his team for many years. Israel is awesome to deal with; prompt , honest, and excellent customer service. He has worked on several of our properties and we couldn't be more happy. If you are looking for a surveillance company and want excellent service , I recommend you call California Security Cameras. You won't be disappointed ! read more

I contacted CSC for a quote and Israel came by within a day or two to give me a complete walkthrough. This was about an hour after another guy came by and the difference was night and day. Israel clearly knew his stuff and started planning the security camera placement as if he was protecting his own house, wife, and kids. Israel and his team helped me hook up 7 cameras and placed them all so I don't have a single blind spot on the exterior of the house. They also set me up with an NVR for local storage with remote cloud capabilities as well. All the work was basically done in a day, and it looks extremely clean, wires and cables tucked away nicely. It's hard to put a price on peace of mind, but CSC did it and it was a great value. We would recommend to anyone! read more

I have used California Security Cameras for two companies in the past year and their service is phenomenal. They provide amazing service and Israel is very responsive anytime I have questions for navigating their camera systems. Their 4k cameras provide the best quality for surveillance at a reasonable price and I have used their systems to successfully manage two businesses that operate 24/7/365. read more

I would defintely recommend CSC for home security camera installation 1. On-site free inspection: Israel did a free on-site inspection of my house and understood what my requirements are 2. Help is purchase: His office staff helped me find a better/cheaper deal on the security system I had shortlisted on Amazon 3. Day of Installation: a. His staff was very professional. They took all the necessary precaution (wearing mask at all time and shoe-covers when inside home) b. They placed the cameras exactly where I wanted them and made sure there is no wiring visible from outside. They also helped paint the pipes thru which the wires were routed from cameras to attic c. The routing of the cat5e cable from router to nvr was also done in a very smart way 4. Tech support: a. The tech support professional helped me access cameras from my phone/laptop and was very patient in answering all my questions read more

I hate to write bad reviews. When you look at my profile you can see that the majority of mine are positive. I love to help out small businesses and I do my best to support them. To preface this review, I would like to say that the test of a company is one that can stand behind their customer when their representatives go out and do installations. I'm writing this review on behalf of my parents who had their home security cameras installed by this company. The installation process went great. They happily obliged my Dad when he said that he had his own cameras that he wanted to have installed. Adan was the man that installed the cameras. He was thorough, helpful and made great suggestions on where to install them throughout the exterior of the property. It was only after the installation that we ran into some problems. Adan left my parents his personal cell phone number so that they could get a hold of him anytime should they run into any problems. He said that they shouldn't hesitate to call or text. My parents trusted his word and when they had issues with accessing the cameras online to view the cameras from their tablets and on the computers, they immediately called and texted Adan to see if he could help. They placed several calls to Adan with no response. They did not think to call the company directly since Adan had told them that they could deal with him directly since he was the one that installed the cameras for them, rest assured. When my dad called me to see if I could follow up, I emailed the company and got in touch with Priscilla who immediately got defensive and showed me copies of emails where they showed conversations between California Security systems and my Dad. She wanted to argue the point that because she didn't hear from my Dad any sooner because of their 6 month warranty program, they could not service the job without charging a fee ($120). My dad had tried to get in contact with Adan within a 3 month period and could *not* get a hold of him. Because his travel schedule for work was so hectic at the time, he simply could not follow up. This is where I took over. Upon talking to Priscilla, she made me feel like it was *my dad and I* who were in the wrong. She insisted that we should have gotten in touch with her directly vs. trying to get a hold of Adan. She said that they instruct all of their representives/ installers to *not* give away their cell phone numbers to customers. Why would Adan have given my Dad his phone number if he had explicitly been told not to? We should not have been held responsible for this. Had this been true, we would not have taken this route. I still have Adan's personal cell phone number to this day. He was amazing until he went MIA. A test of a true company is how you treat your customers when all is said and done. Especially since my dad spent several thousand dollars with them. I cannot say that this company will take care of you and therefore cannot recommend it. read more

We installed 12 cameras at our business in Cupertino. Israel and his team at CSC took care of our business and provided alot of insight and advices on what are the most effective ways to place our security system. Cameras are amazing and great quality. Was able to help and use the footages with great quality to help the Cupertino Police Department as well. Highly recommend this business for their service and quality products. read more

California Security Cameras installed my video surveillance system back in 2016 and did an outstanding installation job! Israel and his crew were awesome. Recently I had to replace a defective Comcast Wifi modem which caused a network connection issue impacting the mobile access to my video surveillance system. Scheduled an appointment with Israel and he was able to troubleshoot the issue and quickly resolve the issue. Israel is extremely focused on customer satisfaction and service second to none. He is technically proficient and has an excellent understanding on both the hardware and software aspects of the security camera business. He is reputable and has high integrity. Thank you Israel for a job well done! read more

A++ experience. From booking the estimate to the final inspection and setup, the process was smooth, on time, and very friendly. Our technician was super professional and did a very clean install at our commercial property. Israel kept us updated throughout the process and came for the final inspection in which he set everything up on my phone. Highly recommended for their professionalism and attention to detail. read more

We purchased a Lorex camera system from Costco, and soon after opening the box realized that we did not possess the time nor energy to attempt a DIY install. I couldn't even begin to wrap my head around how I would route the cables, power needs, etc. I reached out to 4-5 different companies and literally CSC was the only one to actually get back to me. Is it because we already purchased our own cameras? What's up with that? Anyway, their loss... My first point of contact was with Priscila through both phone and email. She was always kind and helped me set up the initial (free) consultation for an estimate with Israel, the owner. Israel showed up right on schedule and immediately got to work, walking around the house with me and giving his recommendations on camera placements/angles, types of cables to use, routing, conduit piping, etc. Although it was a short meeting, he obviously knew what he was talking about and put me at ease with any concerns I may have had. A few days later, I received the price estimates and to be perfectly honest I sat on it for a few weeks due to my own procrastination (but I was also kind of holding out hope that one of the other companies would actually get back to me so I could at least have a comparison point). Priscila was again very helpful in following up with me and accommodating with scheduling conflicts. We set a date and time for the installation and Abraham and Carlos were both right on time. They reconfirmed the camera placements with me and got to work right away. Instead of using the cables that were included in the box, they smartly suggested using their CAT5E cables to make it easier for future upgrades. Additionally, they set up a junction box and powered each camera individually, so if you have a power failure only one camera goes out and not all of them. On top of that, if you have the paint, they will even use it to paint over the conduit piping so that everything blends in with your home. The whole installation process took about 7-8 hours and they made sure everything was up and running before leaving. A few days later, Israel came by for the scheduled final inspection and to make minor adjustments to the camera angles. As I understand it, they do not offer equipment support when you purchase your own cameras. However, Israel went the extra mile to make sure I understood all the features, functions, and settings - even waiting while I called Lorex because I idiotically forgot the password we had set for the DVR (facepalm). I believe in supporting small local family-owned businesses whenever possible (especially during these tough times), and CSC made my decision a no-brainer. Israel, Priscila, Abraham and Carlos all deserve shout outs and many, many thanks. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future (already considering adding two more cameras...) and would definitely mention them to friends and family looking for camera services. read more

I recently reached out to this company to ask them about installing a video camera security system. I spoke with a nice lady who took my contact information and said that the owner Israel would call me back at the end of the day. Fast forward 5 days later, I've not heard from anyone so I called back and spoke to the same lady who made it sound like Israel was too busy to call me back and our home was located out of their service area which is understandable. I just wish that they could have told me this when I initially called them. read more

CSC's service is second to none, from the initial contact, consultation, to installation and follow up, they did not disappoint at all. The staff were courteous, responsive, and extremely friendly. I am so impressed with the quality of work that they provided. The installation for my security cameras was spot on. The installer wore masks at all time during their visit, kept distance when speaking to me, and made great suggestions that I did not think of. The price I paid was reasonable and didn't break the bank. I highly recommend this company for security camera installation. read more

We were introduced to Israel from my best friend's husband, he spoke very highly of him. So we meet with Israel and ask about his camera system and what would best for us. So we decided to have his cameras installed, not only were they efficient & professional. Starting from meeting Israel to his office staff & installers. We were so happy with his work performance that we hired him again for our business office. & pleased with that job, that our son purchased a house in Turlock and they went out there! We've had a previous camera person, he was all about money? Not Israel he's a true good dude!! We refer him to our family & friends!! Great company! Great people! read more

At first Priscila said they don't service my area. I was like, girl you don't like money. Good thing for me and CAS Ana convinced her otherwise. Priscila is awesome though. LOL. CSC wasn't the cheapest quote I got and they weren't the most expensive. I chose them because I wanted a clean install and someone to run conduit on the exterior of my house. They removed my Swann system and installed a 4k Lorex system that I purchased. The job took one and a half days. I'm glad they didn't try to rush to get it done in one. Abraham and Pedro did a clean job running cables and mounting the NVR. Conduit was also installed clean and they painted it too. You supply the paint. They even painted the junction boxes to match my cameras and made sure things are water tight. Metal boxes by the way. They do alot of extras to make sure the customers are happy. In which they deserve a 6 star for going above and beyond. Don't take my word for it, check out my pictures. About a week later, Israel aka the boss came out for final inspection and to reposition all the cameras to get optimal views. I thought this was a great part of their already excellent customer service. It's amazing that everyone in the company is on the same page when it comes to customer service. From the front office to the installers and the owner. My system is good but my only mistake was checking out Israel's app on his phone. Now I want that system but I'll have to wait cause the wife will kill me. Gotta stay married, but when it's time.. hook a brother up! read more

CSC installed my camera system in Oct. 2022. I waited until now to submit a review on this company because I wanted a chance to see how this system worked over a period of time. So far, the system has been superior to the one I had replaced. I couldn't be more pleased. Better resolution, zoom in feature, very good audio capabilities (listening and the ability to speak thru the front door camera), and so many other features. I did not seek other bids from other firms. I read the Yelp ratings and after meeting with Israel, the owner, I made my decision to have this company install the cameras. Israel answered all my questions about the products he offered and his recommendation re: the type of cameras to install and how many based on my coverage needs. I even went down to his business and had Carlos, demostrate the cameras they were recommending. During the installation process, Israel communications skillset was great. Carlos, his lead installer, and his co-worker were punctual neat, and did a quality installation. Any install concerns we had , Carlos listened and handled it. Additionally, after the install was completed , I was "figuring out" how to use the system, and had technical questions. Carlos said I could always call him for help, which I did. He was responsive! read more

Israel the owner it's a great guy and his team are awesome they installed a total of 6 cámaras, I'm an electrical contractor and when my customers needs Camaras I don't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks guys. read more

The friendly team from CSC did an excellent job with our camera installation and additional network runs. I really could not be more pleased. All steel conduit was thoughtfully run close to the trim on the house to minimize distractions. They always took their shoes off when entering our home, used drop cloths to protect the floor while they worked, and left the areas spotless. Our Comcast installer did a sloppy job of running RG6 cable along the side of our house, and when Israel's team saw this, they insisted on re-running the cable properly at no extra charge. Whenever there was an opportunity for them to do a little bit extra to make the final result nicer, they did it! Based on how thoughtful they were during the installation, I'm confident that if I encounter problems down the road, they will stand by their work. Please open up the rest of the photos I've uploaded to see how the cameras were installed. read more

I called CSC to schedule a consultation and price quotes and the guy didn't show up on me which was very upsetting especially since I wasted my Sat waiting for him and put my weekend on hold. The 2nd time he rescheduled again and I was about done with CSC but Danielle from the office called and explained that he had a family emergency and he would give me a really great discount for my troubles so like Rihanna, I decided to give Chris Brown ONE more chance. When Israel showed up, he was really apologetic about missing the two appointments and explained to me that his daughter was admitted to the hospital. Would have been better if he rang the bell with flowers and chocolates but I guess I rather see this "great discount" he promised because I'm more practical than sentimental. When I got the quote, I saw that he only gave me a free wireless mouse and a USB extension cable and at this point I felt like he just socked me in the face and gave me another black eye because I was duped. I called Chris I mean Israel back and told him this was not gonna make up the two days I lost waiting on the doorstep for him. We did a bit of back and forth before agreeing on a price that I felt was fair. I ended up getting the top of the line 4MP cameras so the resolution was top notch. Costco currently has one for $900 but Israel would not guarantee the performance so I just went with his system in case there was ever a problem I could call him up to address. The work took a lot longer than expected (2 days instead of the projected 1) but in the end the workmanship was clean as promised. I'm now fixated on watching my cameras throughout the day and I see who's at my door from anywhere in the world. My biggest complaint is that the App on my devices works great but the web version does not. As a matter of fact when I tried viewing from my Mac, it totally incapacitated the entire PC and I had to revert/restore the plug-in I installed so beware. It also doesn't work with Explorer and I had a problem with Chrome as well. Haven't tried Firefox but at this point i'll just monitor from my phone since it's the most reliable. read more

Call for an estimate, left a message. Call never returned. Image trying to get a hold of them If you have issues with your security system.

After I had a break-in in my home, I shopped around for different companies to install cameras around my property. I was really impressed by the courtesy and prompt service. They worked with the HOA in providing necessary documents and adhering to their rules. I highly recommend this company, they are very knowledgable and work with you to find the best product for your home and the installation was very efficient, and their work is immaculate. read more

Israel, Ana and the whole team were AMAZING!!! They are a family run business and that really shows with the level of care and attention they gave me. I had absolutely zero clue what I was doing and ordered a camera system that in no way could cover my house (oops...) and Israel explained why and sat down with me to help me order a different system. Poor Israel had to go through this a second time when my husband came home to explain again and had the patience of a saint. They were on time, beyond respectful, clean, and just a great positive attitude. My cameras are great and I couldn't be happier!!! Thank you to the CSC team! read more

I did a lot of research and checked customer references before deciding on California Security Cameras to install cameras around my residence. I was skeptical about all the five star reviews, especially since they didn't take credit cards for payment. I had been burned once by someone who created a fantastic Angie's list review scam and so I'm suspicious of all five stars. You don't have to be with this company. All excellent work, outstanding employees and office staff. read more

We installed two systems at two different locations. Both locations work well. Israel is professional. He gave the best recommendations for both camera system and DVR. Compare with other brands, and this system is more reliable because it is the wired system. For home security and small office. I will like to recommend California Security Cameras. Thank you, Israel. read more

Great and timely service, extremely professional and friendly. Would highly recommend California security cameras to my friends and family!

Professional work. Also generally helpful and happy to come back to take care any issues. Pro-active in resolving problems as well. Highly recommended. read more

Highly recommend California Security Cameras. Israel, installers, tech guy and office staff are professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The reason for taking off a star is really not 100% their fault but their policy of not providing support for equipment purchased somewhere else left me dealing with programming issues myself. From their business standpoint I fully understand that they cannot support every system out there but I can also empathize with the one negative reviewer. I hired a professional company and paid top $ so that I could get support when needed. Priscilla is friendly but firm when it comes to stating the policy. No support for equipment purchased elsewhere and no phone contact with the IT guy. I also felt the fees they charge for extra things are high. One of the items they want to charge extra should have been included as a part of the installation. I believe if you purchase the equipment from them and specify every detail of the installation in the contract, you would be very happy with their service. read more

I bought a house with existing systems that Israel was familiar with well he came by to give me an estimate and stayed for 3 hours and got all 11 cameras up and running this company goes the extra mile I will definitely use the and refer them thanks so much Update the crew came over and installed a updated state of the art system the whole team from top to bottom goes the extra mile PS Your IT guys really helped us get familiar with the system Thank you read more

We had been thinking about having a dedicated camera security system installed in our home for a long time. The only problem was that in the the past, when you searched for installers. Either they would not return your call, or they would call back but they only install systems for companies. Until now! We gave these guys a call and spoke with customer service to set up an Appointment. I live outside the San Jose area so we were very happy that they could service our area. As we spoke with Israel about what are needs were in a security system. He was very open an listened to us but he also gave us the benefit of his expertise, of where to mount the cameras and how high, direction etc. We set an install date! About a week later his brother Abraham showed up. Very professional and polite,this is the guy that is the "Technician", he puts it all together Cameras,DVR'S.... Internet, Remote access! And if your worried about cables and wires all over the inside of your home? Fogettaboutit !! Since we have a house he could run all the cables through the attic. All the work was done on time as promised! I would recommend them for any homeowner concerned about their home security. Escape from those bundled security systems from those cable and Satellite companies!! We did! Hard wired security cameras is the way to go! These guys are top of the line 5 stars! read more
