We specialize in Integrated Systems. Our goal is to streamline your security into a unified platform so you can manage your building’s "nervous system" from a single, user-friendly interface.

What is 'Structured Wiring,' and why does it matter for my security?

Structured wiring is the backbone of your system. We treat this as a piece of art—organized, labeled, and meticulously managed. This ensures your system is reliable and makes future repairs or upgrades significantly faster and cheaper.

Can you take over my existing legacy equipment?

Often, yes. We perform a "System Audit" to see what is salvageable. However, if the existing infrastructure is compromised, I’ll be honest about what needs to be replaced to ensure your security isn't "built on sand."

What happens if my internet goes down? Will my security still work?

A properly integrated system should have local redundancies. We design systems that maintain their core security functions (like card access and local recording) even if the outside world is cut off.

Who do I call if something stops working three years from now?

You call us. We are a firm believer in Accountability.  We don't "install and disappear." Because we know every wire and every connection in your head-end, We can troubleshoot issues with precision.

At what stage of construction should I bring you in?

The earlier, the better. Getting the pre-wiring right while the studs are exposed saves thousands of dollars in labor later. I work with your contractors to ensure the "bones" of the system are perfect before the drywall goes up.

I already have a basic alarm; why do I need an integrator?

A basic alarm is a reactive tool. Integration is a proactive solution. By linking your CCTV with your card access and intercom, you get a system that provides data, visual verification, and total control—not just a siren that rings after a break-in.

Common Worry #1: "The System is Too Complex / I Won’t Know How to Use It."

We don't just install boxes; we provide Simplified Integration. We take the alarm, 4K CCTV, card access, and intercoms and "knit" them into a single, intuitive nervous system. We put the client first by ensuring the interface is easy to understand. You don't need to be an IT expert to run a Karnelian system—we’ve done the heavy lifting behind the scenes so you can have total control with a single touch.

Common Worry #2: "The Tech Will Install It and Then Ghost Me."

This is where our "up North" roots come in. To us, your word is your bond. We aren't a "churn and burn" operation. We are building a legacy of reliability. We don't just service a site and disappear; we become your long-term technical partner. If there’s an is sue, you have a direct line to the person who designed the system, not a nameless call center. We are here for the long haul.

What’s the most important thing you want people to know about how you do security work that makes it better than a quick fix?

The most important thing for our clients to understand is that we don't believe in 'quick fixes'—we believe in Technical Integrity. In the security industry, a quick fix usually means a 'Band-Aid' on a larger problem, often involving messy wiring or bypassed errors that will inevitably fail when you need the system most.
At Karnelian Security, our work is better than a quick fix for three specific reasons:
Structured Excellence (The 'Art' of the Build): We treat the 'head-end'—the brain of your security system—as a piece of art. By meticulously organizing and labeling every wire, we eliminate the 'spaghetti' that causes system failures and expensive troubleshooting later. A clean system is a reliable system.
Systemic Integration: We don't just patch a single camera or alarm; we look at how that component fits into your entire smart security nervous system. We ensure that your card access, CCTV, and intercom are communicating flawlessly, creating a unified shield rather than a collection of disconnected gadgets.
Uncompromising Resolve: Quick fixes often happen because a technician wants to get to the next job. Because of my 'up North' roots and a personal demand for perfection, I simply don’t leave until the job is done right. If a problem is complex, we lean into it rather than walking away.
Our goal isn't just to get your system 'on'—it’s to ensure it stays on, stays organized, and stays serviceable for years to come. We build it right the first time so you don't have to pay someone to fix it a second time.
