Pricing reviewed October 2026 against our live service pages
| Service | Typical Cost | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Structured Cabling | $150 to $400 per drop | Each cable run from the network closet to a wall jack, terminated and tested. Cat6 runs $150 to $250; Cat6A and long runs sit at the higher end. Fiber and large projects quoted per job. |
| Security Cameras | $300 to $800 per camera installed | Covers the camera, mounting, PoE port, cabling, and labor. A 4-camera system with NVR, storage, and installation typically runs $2,000 to $4,000, and an 8-camera system with NVR, storage, and installation typically runs $4,000 to $7,000. Camera type, mounting height, run length, and storage move the number. |
| Managed Small-Business Network | $500 setup then $125 per month | $500 one-time install (Wi-Fi, cabling, equipment config) plus $125/month for 24/7 monitoring and unlimited support. Built for restaurants and retail. |
| New Construction Rough-In | from $500 per project | Commercial rough-in during framing, then trim-out after drywall: cabling, camera pre-wire, and access-control conduit. Every buildout is quoted per plan. |
| Access Control | Per opening quoted after survey | Cost depends on door count, credential type (keycard, mobile, biometric), and whether you reuse existing wiring. Quoted per door after an on-site survey. |
| Managed Wi-Fi | Per site quoted after survey | Driven by square footage, access-point count, and coverage goals. We run an RF site survey before quoting so the design matches the building. |
| IT Support (Break/Fix) | $125 per hour (2-hr min) | PC, network, and printer break/fix plus new-computer setup, on-site or remote, no contract. Defined jobs like a PC setup can be flat-rated. |

What Moves the Number
Why Two Jobs Cost Different Amounts
Quantity
Drops, cameras, or doors: the single biggest driver. More of anything means more material and labor.
Cable run distance
A 30-foot run is quick; a 250-foot run across a building, through firewalls and risers, is not.
Building access
An open drop ceiling is fast. Fishing cable through finished drywall, or running conduit through concrete and masonry, takes real time.
Resolution & retention
For cameras, higher resolution and longer footage retention mean more storage, a direct cost.
After-hours work
If we need to work nights or weekends to avoid disrupting your business, that factors in.
