Site Surveys & Technical Consulting
On-Site Network Planning, Infrastructure Design & Custom Engineering
Complex technology deployments—like commercial security camera systems, multi-building wireless bridges, or large-scale network overhauls—require careful planning long before the first cable is run. Our $100 Site Survey & Technical Consultation provides a comprehensive on-site walk-through to assess your physical location, identify potential installation obstacles, evaluate existing infrastructure, and map out precisely what is needed to achieve your goals.
Whether you operate a multi-building commercial facility or a rural property with unique structural challenges, we design tailored systems built for long-term reliability. For example, when a local apartment complex required parking lot surveillance across six disconnected buildings separated by public roads, we engineered a wireless point-to-point mesh network to unify all cameras into a single central NVR. For agricultural clients needing remote barn monitoring, we’ve deployed conduit-protected cabling networks to bring HD video feeds directly to smartphone devices.
Following every survey, we provide a structured "Good, Better, Best" estimate, giving you full control over hardware quality, system capabilities, and budget before work begins.
- 1-Hour On-Site Consultation: Direct physical evaluation of your property layout, mounting surfaces, power access, and network infrastructure.
- Custom Engineering Solutions: Specialized design for long-range wireless links, underground conduit runs, multi-building networking, and CCTV.
- Good / Better / Best Scope: Detailed, multi-tier project proposals allowing you to choose the exact feature set and price point that fits your budget.

Surveillance & Security Installation
Commercial, Residential, and Farm Surveillance and Advanced Access Control
Securing your facility, employees, and physical assets requires an integrated approach tailored specifically to your site layout and operating budget. Every project begins with a Site Survey & Technical Consult where we assess physical entry points, lighting, and conduit paths before designing a custom deployment. Whether your priority is maximum visual clarity with high-end 4K PoE IP cameras and biometric access control, or a budget-conscious 1080p HD CCTV setup, we engineer a solution that fits both your security requirements and your financial boundaries.
Beyond video surveillance, we can integrate physical door controls to manage facility access with precision. From cost-effective key-fob and keypad entry locks to multi-door electronic lock systems with scheduled auto-locking or biometric fingerprint readers, we give you complete oversight of your property. We handle the entire project from clean cable runs to application configuration and training so you can view live video feeds and manage access permissions from anywhere.

Custom PC Building & Upgrades
High-Performance Gaming Rigs, Workstations, and Tailored Upgrades
Off-the-shelf prebuilt computers often compromise on power supply quality, cooling efficiency, and motherboards, limiting your performance and future upgradability. We design, assemble, and tune custom desktop PCs built precisely for your workload—whether that means high-framerate 4K gaming, 3D rendering, video editing, or heavy CAD modeling. From selecting fully compatible, balanced hardware components to meticulous cable management and airflow design, we build rigs that run cool, quiet, and reliable under heavy loads.
If your current desktop is lagging in modern games or slowing down during demanding tasks, you don't necessarily need a whole new system. We perform targeted hardware upgrades—including graphics card (GPU) swaps, processor (CPU) installs, RAM expansions, power supply replacements, and cooling solution installs. Every custom build and major upgrade undergoes extensive stress testing, thermal benchmarking, and OS optimization before leaving our bench.

Micro-Soldering Service
Board-Level Circuit Diagnostics & Precision Component Repair
When a laptop motherboard, industrial controller, or PC component suffers a blown power rail or shorted surface-mount capacitor, replacing the entire board is often cost-prohibitive or completely unavailable. Our micro-soldering bench provides surgical-grade circuit diagnostics and component replacement directly under high-power optical magnification.
Instead of declaring specialized electronics dead or forcing an expensive full-board replacement, we use thermal imaging, voltage injection, and high-frequency hot air rework stations to trace electrical shorts and solder micro-components directly. Engaging our specialized bench gives your high-value hardware a second life.
- DC Power & USB-C Jack Repairs: Rebuilding broken, loose, or burnt charging ports and power jacks directly on laptop motherboards and portable devices.
