IP video design, installation and support for warehouses, distribution centers, yards, plants, offices and public sites from Ontario and Fontana to Riverside, San Bernardino and Temecula. Every system is designed before we install it, secured on your network and supported by the same team.
BTI Communications Group, LTD. designs, installs and services commercial security camera systems across the Inland Empire from its Santa Fe Springs office, and has been in business for over 40 years. We install Axis, Avigilon, exacqVision, Milestone XProtect, OpenEye, Cisco Meraki MV and Brivo Eagle Eye cloud video, with analytics, license plate recognition, talk down and remote viewing, for sites in Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Chino, Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley and San Bernardino. We do not have an Inland Empire office. Call 562-298-5070 or request a free site assessment.

Most camera complaints trace back to design: a lens too wide to read a plate at the gate, a dock camera blinded by headlights, a yard with no coverage between trailer rows. We start every Inland Empire project with a site design that places each camera on your floor plan or an aerial image, with its lens, field of view and detection distance modeled.
You see the coverage map, the camera list and the recording plan before you approve anything. That is also the document your insurer, landlord or auditor can review.
A camera on every dock door, overview cameras across the yard, gate and guard shack coverage with plate recognition, and views of cages and high value storage. Video tied to door and gate events speeds up claims and investigations.
Multisensor cameras on poles cover wide yards with fewer mounts, and analytics flag people or vehicles in the yard after hours.
Production floors, shipping and receiving, chemical storage and restricted rooms in Corona, Riverside, Chino and Ontario, with retention and footage access set to match customer requirements.
City buildings, yards, pump stations and remote sites, with NDAA compliant hardware and purchasing through GSA, CMAS or TESMA contracts. Water organizations in the region that work with BTI include Western Municipal Water District and Fontana Water Company.
Lobby, parking and perimeter coverage for offices in Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside and Temecula, with video tied to the badge readers at each entry.
Waiting rooms, entries, medication storage and parking, with privacy zones that keep exam areas out of view.
One camera model rarely fits a whole site. This is how we usually match cameras to the places Inland Empire businesses need to watch.
| Area | Goal | Typical camera |
|---|---|---|
| Dock doors | Watch every load and support claims | A bullet camera at each dock door plus an overview camera along the dock wall |
| Yards and trailer parking | See activity across a wide area | Multisensor or panoramic camera on a pole or roof edge |
| Gates and guard shacks | Capture every truck and plate | License plate recognition camera with its own lighting, plus an overview camera |
| Fence lines and perimeters | Detect people before they reach the building | Analytics camera or radar with talk down speakers |
| Main entries and lobbies | Identify every person who enters | Fixed dome or bullet with a narrow field of view at face height |
| Cages and high value storage | Record who touched what | Small dome tied to the door reader |
Every placement is confirmed in the site design before installation.
We choose the platform per site, not per vendor. Many Inland Empire buildings already have cameras on the wall, and we keep the ones that still perform.

Modern cameras do more than record. We set up the analytics each site needs and tune them so alerts stay useful instead of noisy.
Want help after hours? 24/7 system health and alert monitoring available, plus a 24/7 converged security NOC/SOC. See Axis audio and talk down and Axis radar.
Vacant lots, pallet stacks and trailer yards draw trespassers after dark, and fires set at or near commercial property are a real worry for Inland Empire owners and their insurers. Cameras cannot stop every incident, but a design that detects people early, warns them off and records clear evidence reduces the risk.
Read more in our post on arson risk, insurance and security for Ontario businesses.
Cameras are computers on your network. A camera system with default passwords and open ports is a way into the rest of the business. Because BTI is also an IT and cybersecurity provider, we design camera networks the way your IT team would.
Need more than cameras? See managed IT in the Inland Empire and BTI cybersecurity services.
California Penal Code 632 restricts recording confidential conversations without consent. We leave audio recording off by default and use speakers for talk down instead of microphones where privacy is a concern.
California Labor Code 435 bars employers from recording in restrooms, locker rooms and changing rooms. Privacy masks keep other sensitive areas out of view.
We set how long footage is kept, who can export it and how exports are logged, so you can show how video is controlled.
Government buyers and federal contractors can choose cameras and recorders that meet Section 889 of the NDAA.
BTI is a Licensed Alarm Company Operator, ACO #7670, with C-7 License 807767, and our team passes LiveScan background checks.
GSA contract holder (47QTCA21D00BA) and CMAS and TESMA contract awardee (California).
Financing at 3.99% is available for qualified buyers, subject to credit approval.
Many Inland Empire buildings still run analog or early IP cameras on an aging recorder. A full rip and replace is rarely needed.
Water organizations in the region that work with BTI include Western Municipal Water District and Fontana Water Company. At a public retirement association in San Bernardino County, BTI took over the existing Brivo account from the prior vendor and is bringing Brivo access control, Milestone video and Alarm.com intrusion onto one platform, with mobile access and managed access control. BTI also designs and installs cameras for warehouse and distribution buildings, where docks, yards and gates need coverage around the clock.

BTI has no Inland Empire office. Engineers and crews dispatch from our Santa Fe Springs office and warehouse. Camera replacements and repair parts are stocked at the Santa Fe Springs warehouse, about 26 miles from Ontario and 39 miles from Riverside in a straight line.
The closest part of the region to our office, about 23 to 38 miles away in a straight line. Warehouses and distribution centers along the I-10, the 60 and the 15, plus office parks around Ontario International Airport and Rancho Cucamonga.
About 29 to 48 miles from Santa Fe Springs. County and city government, manufacturers in Corona, and the large logistics buildings along the 215 in Moreno Valley and Perris.
About 46 to 55 miles away. County agencies, distribution centers near San Bernardino International Airport, medical groups around Loma Linda and offices in Redlands.
About 62 miles away. Business parks, light industrial buildings, medical offices and growing professional firms along the I-15.
About 60 miles or more over the Cajon Pass. Distribution and industrial sites that need hardware rated for heat, wind and dust.
About 85 to 110 miles away. Offices, medical groups and hospitality businesses that plan on site work as scheduled service days.
High Desert and Coachella Valley sites are farther from our office, so on site response there takes longer and visits are usually planned as scheduled service days. Remote support and our 24/7 NOC/SOC cover every site around the clock.
Everything BTI offers in the region is on the BTI Inland Empire hub.

Usually a camera at each dock door, overview cameras along the dock wall and across the yard, plate recognition at the gate, and cameras on cages, entries and parking. The site design shows exactly where each one goes.
Yes. We install license plate recognition at gates, guard shacks and yard entries, and connect reads to alerts and search in your video platform.
They help. Analytics or radar detect people early, talk down speakers warn them off and clear night video supports police and insurance claims. No camera system prevents every incident.
Usually some of them. We test each camera for image quality, firmware support and security, keep the ones that pass and replace failed or unsupported units.
Cloud video suits offices and smaller sites with no IT staff on site. On premises recorders suit distribution buildings and plants with many cameras and long retention. Hybrid options keep video local and manage it in the cloud.
Be careful. California Penal Code 632 restricts recording confidential conversations without consent. We leave audio recording off by default and help you decide where signage and consent make it appropriate.
Yes. Government agencies, water organizations and federal contractors can choose camera and recorder models that meet Section 889 of the NDAA.
