About Daniel
Daniel Hillhouse is a Senior Project Manager and Low Voltage Systems Specialist with over a decade of hands-on experience delivering complex security and infrastructure projects for enterprise clients across California and throughout the Western and Southern United States — spanning grocery chains, big-box retail, banking, logistics, food service, data centers, and warehousing.
A licensed C-7 Low Voltage Contractor, Daniel has built much of his career as a trusted field lead and subcontractor for some of America's largest security integrators — representing their brand standards across statewide multi-site rollouts with no-rework results. He consistently earns a reputation as the technician teams call when a project needs to be rescued, accelerated, or done right the first time.
From directing multi-year enterprise security overhauls to terminating 10,000+ feet of Cat6 cabling in dense IDF closets, Daniel combines field-level technical mastery with project management discipline, always delivering on time, within budget, and to the strictest compliance standards.
What I Do
A decade of hands-on technical experience across America's most demanding commercial and enterprise environments.
Full-cycle installation and commissioning of IP-based surveillance systems including AXIS, NVR/VMS configuration, Public View Monitor (PVM) setups, and camera FOV optimization for maximum loss prevention coverage.
Installation, programming, and hardening of enterprise-grade security panels (DMP, Bosch, Honeywell, Residio). Vault security, motion sensors, door contacts, hold-up buttons, and silent alarm systems for financial and retail environments.
Enterprise-grade Cat6 cabling, rack and stack deployments, IDF/MDF closet organization, demarc extensions, and patch panel termination. All drops tested, certified, and labeled to enterprise standards using Fluke DSX testers.
Circuit extensions (T1, DSL, POTS), demarc extensions, PoE lighting deployment, VoIP/SIP system migrations, and cellular signal boost installations. Tier 2/3 troubleshooting for persistent network and hardware integration failures.
Full project lifecycle oversight for multi-phase low-voltage installations: budget forecasting, Scope of Work (SOW) authoring, crew scheduling, procurement, timecard auditing, change order management, and client reporting.
Specialized auditing and correction of failed or non-compliant low-voltage installations. Trusted by major clients to identify critical errors from prior contractors and bring systems into 100% compliance with corporate and code requirements.

My Approach
A straightforward, professional approach from initial assessment to final sign-off.
Daniel visits the site to assess existing infrastructure, identify requirements, document conditions, and evaluate any code or compliance factors before a single dollar is committed.
A detailed Scope of Work and competitive budget proposal is developed, outlining labor, materials, timeline, and milestones so there are no surprises and no scope creep.
Work is executed to enterprise standards with minimal disruption to your operations. Real-time progress updates keep you informed, and change orders are managed proactively.
Every installation undergoes rigorous system testing and a final walk-through to verify 100% compliance with your corporate specs, local codes, and monitoring agency requirements.
