Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you'd want to know before a consult — how pricing works, what we do, and where we work.

What does WERKSTATT OC do?

We're a business-technology company. We build the technology your business runs on — smart cameras, networks & WiFi, access control, audio/video, monitoring & support, and websites. Six equal services, one partner.

How much does an install cost?

Every job is quoted per project. We do a free consult, look at your space and what your business needs, and price it accordingly. No two sites are the same, so there's no flat package.

What is a consult?

A free visit to your business where we look at the layout, how you operate, and what you want to set up. We use it to scope the right technology and put together an accurate quote, usually within about 24 hours.

What makes your cameras smart?

AI detection tells the difference between a person, a vehicle, and noise like wind or rain, so the alerts you get are ones worth looking at — not a flood of false motion events.

Do you install access control?

Yes. Badge, fob, and mobile entry for doors, gates, and individual suites, with a log of who went where. You can grant or revoke access in seconds.

What do the monitoring plans cost?

One plan, from $149/mo, month-to-month. It scales with the size of your system — more cameras, doors, and sites moves it up from there. Installs and websites are quoted separately, per project.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

Monitoring plans are billed monthly. We want you to stay because the technology works, not because you're locked in.

Do you also do networks, WiFi, and audio/video?

Yes. Business-grade wired and wireless networks, overhead audio, paging, and displays are core services, so it's one team for the whole site.

Do you build websites?

Yes. Websites are one of our six equal services. We design and build custom sites for businesses, quoted per project.

Where do you work?

We're based in South Orange County and serve businesses across Orange County.
