IP video design, installation and support for studios, offices, warehouses, plants, retail centers, schools and public sites from Burbank and Glendale to Van Nuys, Chatsworth, Santa Clarita and Palmdale. 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 San Fernando Valley 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, Bosch and Brivo Eagle Eye cloud video, with analytics, license plate recognition and remote viewing, for sites in Burbank, Glendale, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Northridge, Chatsworth, Santa Clarita, Palmdale and Lancaster. Call 562-298-5070 or request a free site assessment.
Most camera complaints trace back to design: a lens too wide to read a face at the door, a camera aimed into the afternoon sun, a parking lot with no coverage at the drive aisle. We start every San Fernando Valley project with a site survey and a coverage design, and place 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.
Lot gates, stage doors, loading areas, equipment cages and parking, with video tied to the badge readers at each entry and retention set by area.
Lobby, elevator, garage and perimeter coverage for Burbank, Glendale and Ventura Boulevard offices.
Dock doors, yards, gates and fence lines around Van Nuys, Sun Valley, Chatsworth, Sylmar and Valencia. Multisensor cameras cover wide yards with fewer poles.
Production floors, shipping areas and restricted rooms in Burbank, Chatsworth, Valencia and Palmdale, with retention and access to footage set to match customer and export control requirements.
Entries, registers, back doors and parking lots, with remote viewing for owners who manage several locations.
Campus, city and clinic coverage, privacy zones that keep exam areas out of view, NDAA compliant hardware and purchasing through GSA, CMAS or TESMA contracts.
We choose the platform per site, not per vendor. Many clients already have cameras on the wall, and we keep the ones that still perform.

One camera model rarely fits a whole site. This is how we usually match cameras to the places San Fernando Valley businesses need to watch.
| Area | Goal | Typical camera |
|---|---|---|
| Main entries and lobbies | Identify every person who enters | Fixed dome or bullet with a narrow field of view at face height |
| Parking lots and yards | See activity across a wide area | Multisensor or panoramic camera on a pole or roof edge |
| Gates and garage entries | Capture vehicles and plates | License plate recognition camera with its own lighting |
| Dock doors and loading areas | Watch shipments and claims | A bullet camera at each dock door plus an overview camera |
| Fence lines and perimeters | Detect people before they reach the building | Analytics camera or radar with talk down speakers |
| Registers and counters | Review transactions and disputes | Overhead dome with a narrow view |
| Server rooms and storage | Record who touched what | Small dome tied to the door reader |
Every placement is confirmed in the coverage design before installation.
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.
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 San Fernando Valley and cybersecurity in Los Angeles.
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. Upgrading an older system? We can keep working cameras and replace the recorder first. See our commercial security camera systems overview and the Los Angeles camera page for LA County sites.
Many San Fernando Valley buildings still run analog or early IP cameras on an aging recorder. A full rip and replace is rarely needed.
BTI has designed and installed camera systems for water utilities, public agencies, manufacturers and office buildings across Southern California.

Our crews and lifts leave from the Santa Fe Springs office and warehouse, so camera replacements and repair parts are close at hand. BTI has no San Fernando Valley office. Engineers and crews dispatch from our Santa Fe Springs office and warehouse. Our office at 12155 Mora Dr in Santa Fe Springs is about 17 miles from Glendale, 21 from Burbank, 27 from Van Nuys and 41 from Santa Clarita in a straight line.
About 17 to 21 miles from Santa Fe Springs. Studios and media companies in the Burbank Media District, and offices, professional firms and medical groups along Brand Boulevard in Glendale.
About 23 to 37 miles away. Office towers on Ventura Boulevard, light industrial buildings around Van Nuys Airport, Chatsworth and Sylmar, and medical offices across the Valley. These are City of Los Angeles neighborhoods plus the City of San Fernando.
About 41 miles away. Business parks and industrial buildings in Valencia, plus offices and medical groups in Saugus, Newhall and Canyon Country.
About 44 to 52 miles away. Aerospace suppliers, offices and public buildings in Palmdale and Lancaster.
Santa Clarita and Antelope Valley sites are farther from our office, so on site work there is 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 San Fernando Valley hub. For other LA County sites, see security cameras in Los Angeles.
