Integrated security, installed and supported by one team
ATEL Technologies, Inc. is a licensed low voltage and electrical contractor in Miramar, San Diego that installs commercial security systems: IP and cloud video surveillance, access control, intercom and video entry, intrusion and fire alarms, and life safety communications - ERRCS / public safety DAS, area of refuge two-way communication and emergency paging. Because ATEL also installs the cabling and network these systems run on, cameras, doors and alarms are designed together, managed from one place, and supported by one team - instead of separate vendors for each.

Security systems FAQ
What commercial security systems does ATEL Technologies install?
ATEL designs, installs and supports video surveillance and security cameras, cloud video surveillance, access control, intercom and video entry, intrusion alarm and fire alarm systems, ERRCS and public safety DAS, area of refuge two-way communication, and emergency paging for businesses in San Diego County, along with the cabling and network they run on.
Should my business use cloud or on-premise video surveillance?
On-premise systems record to a recorder on site and suit locations with strong local IT and large camera counts. Cloud video stores footage off site, is easy to view across multiple locations, and reduces on-site hardware. Many businesses use a hybrid. ATEL reviews your sites, bandwidth and retention needs before recommending one.
Can access control and security cameras work together?
Yes. When access control and video are integrated, every door event can be matched to video, and alerts such as a forced or propped door can pull up the camera view automatically. ATEL designs both on the same network so they can be managed together.
Can ATEL upgrade or take over an existing security system?
Yes. ATEL evaluates existing cameras, recorders, readers and cabling, keeps what still works, and upgrades the rest, which often lowers the cost of moving to a modern system.
Is ATEL Technologies licensed to install security systems in California?
Yes. ATEL Technologies, Inc. holds California State License Board license #1121116 with C-7 (Low Voltage Systems) and C-10 (Electrical) classifications.
What is an ERRCS and does my building need one?
An Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System (ERRCS), also called public safety DAS or a BDA system, boosts fire and police radio signals inside a building. Under California Fire Code Section 510, new and existing buildings that fail the fire department's in-building radio coverage test must install one. ATEL surveys signal strength, designs and installs the system, and supports acceptance and annual testing.
What is an area of refuge two-way communication system?
It is a code-required system of call stations at stairwell landings and elevator lobbies that lets people who cannot use the stairs call a monitored location for help during an emergency. In California it is required by Building Code Section 1009.8 in many multi-story buildings. ATEL installs new systems and replaces or corrects existing ones.
