Security System Expertise
Hardwired Commercial Security Infrastructure
Commercial security systems are only as reliable as the wiring infrastructure that connects them. Wireless systems have their place, but commercial-grade security demands the consistent power delivery, signal integrity, and interference resistance that only hardwired installations provide. Moonlight Electric Solutions installs the complete low-voltage wiring infrastructure for commercial security systems throughout Cheyenne and southeastern Wyoming.
Isaac Garcia’s background includes security system infrastructure for federal government contract facilities, where security wiring had to meet the most stringent physical protection standards in existence. That experience directly informs our approach to commercial security wiring in Cheyenne. We install conduit-protected cable runs, tamper-resistant junction boxes, dedicated security power circuits with battery backup, and structured pathways that keep security cabling isolated from interference-generating power conductors.
We work with commercial property owners, facility managers, and security integrators to install the physical infrastructure that supports comprehensive security systems. Our scope typically includes security camera cabling and mounting, access control panel wiring and door hardware connections, intrusion detection sensor wiring, intercom and video doorbell infrastructure, and dedicated power circuits for security equipment including uninterruptible power supplies for critical components.
Government Contract-grade security infrastructure starts with the wiring. A camera is only as reliable as the cable feeding it. We build the physical backbone that commercial security depends on.
Our security installations use commercial-grade Cat6 or Cat6A cabling for IP cameras, 18/2 and 22/4 shielded cable for alarm devices, and properly rated conductors for electronic lock hardware. Every cable run is pulled through conduit or cable tray, terminated cleanly, and tested for continuity and signal quality. We leave no exposed cabling, no surface-mounted runs through public areas, and no cable splices in inaccessible locations.
Cheyenne commercial properties face specific security challenges including extreme temperature exposure for exterior cameras, high wind loads on outdoor mounting hardware, and extended power outage scenarios during winter storms that can defeat battery backup systems lacking proper sizing. We address each of these challenges during the design phase, selecting equipment rated for Wyoming’s climate and sizing backup power systems for extended autonomous operation during grid outages.

Installation Process
How Security System Installation Works
Security Assessment and Design
We evaluate your property’s security requirements, identify vulnerable entry points and coverage gaps, and design a camera layout and sensor placement plan. We coordinate with your security consultant or integrator if you have one, or provide design recommendations based on our commercial security experience.
Infrastructure Planning
We design cable routing paths, identify conduit requirements, plan power circuit locations for security equipment, and specify cable types for each device. This planning phase ensures clean installation with no exposed wiring and proper separation from power conductors to prevent interference.
Wiring and Equipment Installation
Our licensed electricians install all conduit, pull cables, mount devices, and make terminations. Security panels, network switches, and recording equipment are installed in secure, climate-controlled locations. Every connection is tested and documented during installation.
Testing, Configuration, and Handoff
We test every device, verify camera coverage, confirm access control operation, and validate alarm reporting. We provide complete system documentation including cable schedules, device locations, and as-built drawings. A walkthrough covers system operation, monitoring setup, and maintenance requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Security System FAQs
Why choose hardwired security over wireless systems?
Hardwired commercial security systems provide consistent power delivery, zero wireless interference, and tamper resistance that wireless systems cannot match. Wireless cameras rely on battery power that requires maintenance and Wi-Fi signals that can be disrupted or jammed. Hardwired systems using PoE deliver both power and data over a single cable, eliminating battery concerns and providing reliable gigabit bandwidth for high-resolution video. For commercial applications where security is business-critical, hardwired installation is the professional standard.
Do you install the cameras and access control hardware, or just the wiring?
We install the complete physical infrastructure including conduit, cabling, mounting hardware, junction boxes, and power circuits. We also mount cameras, door readers, electric locks, and alarm sensors. For system programming and monitoring services, we either handle configuration directly for standard commercial systems or coordinate with your security integrator for more complex or specialized platforms. Our scope covers everything from the electrical panel to the mounted device.
How many security cameras does a typical commercial building need?
Camera count depends on your building’s size, layout, entry points, and security objectives. A typical 5,000-square-foot retail space might need six to ten cameras. A 20,000-square-foot warehouse could require fifteen to twenty-five cameras. Multi-story office buildings need cameras at every entrance, elevator, stairwell, parking level, and reception area. We design camera layouts based on your specific coverage requirements and provide clear sight-line diagrams during the proposal phase.
What happens to security cameras during a power outage?
Without backup power, hardwired security cameras lose power during an outage, which is precisely when security coverage matters most. We install dedicated UPS battery backup systems that maintain camera and recording operation during outages. For extended outage protection, we integrate security circuits with commercial backup generators. Our sizing calculations ensure your security system operates autonomously for the duration typical of Wyoming power outage events. Call (307) 757-5553 to discuss backup power options.
Can you add security to an existing commercial building?
Yes. We retrofit security infrastructure into existing commercial buildings regularly. Our installation methods include routing cable through existing ceiling spaces, using surface-mounted conduit in areas without accessible cavities, and core-drilling through walls for clean cable pathways between floors. The key is proper planning to minimize visible infrastructure while maintaining clean, professional cable management. We survey your building before starting work and present a clear installation plan showing all cable routes and device locations. Visit our contact page to schedule a survey.
How much does commercial security system installation cost?
Costs depend on the number of cameras, access control points, alarm zones, and the complexity of cable routing. A basic eight-camera IP system with NVR typically costs $5,000 to $12,000 installed. Access control systems range from $3,000 to $8,000 per controlled door including hardware and wiring. Comprehensive multi-system installations for larger facilities can range from $25,000 to $75,000 or more. We provide detailed, component-level pricing in every proposal.
