overview
overview
This trade is Power-over-Ethernet IP video, not analog 24 V CCTV and not a burglar-alarm monitoring contract. Scope includes indoor and outdoor IP cameras, PoE switches or midspans (IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, or 802.3bt), Category 6 or 6A runs, network video recorders or server-side storage, mounts, and viewing software. Camera types include dome, bullet, turret, multi-sensor, and specialty views where specified.
permits
permits
City and County of Denver Community Planning and Development issues electrical permits when new circuits, racks, or line-voltage equipment are added for PoE switches and recorders. CPD commercial plan-review guidance requires electrical review for new circuits above stated thresholds, including 10 or more new 20 A single-pole circuits, circuits above 20 A, three-phase, or voltages other than 120 V or 277 V. Some minor electrical work can use a CPD quick permit. DORA licenses electrical contractors. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.

Denver Business Licensing requires a burglar-alarm company license for anyone who sells, installs, leases, maintains, repairs, replaces, or monitors burglar-alarm systems. Occupants need an alarm permit for a monitored burglar alarm. Camera-only IP video is a different path. Confirm with Business Licensing if the project includes alarm devices or monitoring. Landmark Preservation reviews exterior housings, conduit, and penetrations on designated structures and in historic districts.
methods
methods
Size PoE switch wattage and port count to the camera list before ordering hardware. Use Category 6 or 6A, weather-rated housings, drip loops, and listed firestop at rated walls. Put the switch and recorder on a UPS. Keep camera VLANs off guest Wi-Fi. Do not share raceways with line-voltage unless the method is listed for that use. Cost is project-specific.
FAQ
Common questions
Who handles the electrical permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates licensed specialty trades. CPD issues electrical permits for new circuits serving PoE switches and recorders. DORA licenses electrical contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
Do PoE cameras need a Denver burglar-alarm company license?
Denver requires a burglar-alarm company license for selling, installing, or monitoring burglar-alarm systems. Camera-only IP video is a different path. Confirm with Denver Business Licensing if the scope includes alarm devices or monitoring.
When is an electrical permit required?
New circuits, racks, or line-voltage equipment for PoE switches and NVRs typically need a CPD electrical permit. Confirm with CPD. Some minor electrical work can use a quick permit.
When does Landmark apply?
Exterior camera housings, conduit, and penetrations on a designated structure or in a historic district may need Landmark Preservation review in addition to electrical permits.

DESIGN SERVICES
Discovery & Site Analysis
Needs + preference programming, site survey, as-built documentation, feasibility.
We walk, measure, and photograph your property — existing conditions, utilities, structure, and constraints. You get the as-built documentation and feasibility read that every later decision rests on.
Learn more →Concept Design & Space Planning
Schematic design, floor plan studies, layout options.
Your scope becomes schematic floor plans you can compare side by side — circulation, daylight, adjacencies, and what each option does to the budget. Layout decisions happen on paper, where changes are cheap.
Learn more →Architectural Design & 3D Renderings
Design development, materials + finishes, photorealistic visualization.
The chosen concept resolves into materials, finishes, fixtures, and lighting — with the automation layer drawn in. Photorealistic renderings let you walk the space and adjust before anything is priced.
Learn more →Construction Documents & Permitting
Full CD sets, structural + MEP engineering coordination, permit-ready drawings.
Approved designs become coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP sheets — the set your jurisdiction permits from and trades build from. We submit, track, and answer review comments.
