05 / Networking and cabling

The part nobody sees until it fails.

Structured cabling, switching, and wireless built to carry security traffic properly. Cameras, readers, and panels are only as reliable as the infrastructure underneath them, and most of the problems we get called about start there.

WHO THIS IS FORAnyone adding cameras or doors to a network that was never designed to carry them.

Signs you are due
Cameras drop off the network and come back on their own.
Nothing in the rack is labeled and nobody has a diagram.
A new device means an afternoon of guessing which port is live.
What is included

What the infrastructure work covers

We do this whether or not you buy anything else from us, and we document it so the next person is not guessing.

01Structured cablingCopper and fiber runs, terminations, and labeling done to standard, tested and certified rather than "it lights up".
02Switching and PoESwitches sized for the power and bandwidth the cameras and readers actually draw, with room for what you add next year.
03Wireless coverageAccess points placed from a survey instead of a guess, including yards, docks, and the corners people complain about.
04Network segmentationSecurity devices kept on their own segment, so a camera is not sitting on the same flat network as your accounting.
05Documentation you keepRack elevations, port maps, and IP schedules handed over, so you are never held hostage by the only person who knows the wiring.
Better together

Every other service rides on this one.

When VDS designs the network and the security systems together, cameras stop dropping and doors stop going offline. When two vendors split it, the finger-pointing is the product.

Asked about this service

Yes. Usually the first thing we do is document what is actually there, because that alone resolves a surprising share of complaints.
