Security Camera Technician

Mounts, aims, and configures Avigilon and Rhombus security cameras and HALO Smart Sensors, from PoE and network setup to a verified view and a trained client, and cross-trains on access control with the same crew.

Full-Time, W-2 or Contractor Tucson, AZ or Phoenix, AZ Mid Level Travel required

The Security Camera Technician installs, configures, and services the CCTV and IP video surveillance systems Unió Digital delivers for commercial, industrial, medical, and mine-site clients. You will mount and aim IP cameras and HALO Smart Sensors and bring them online on Avigilon Alta Video, Avigilon Unity Video, and Rhombus, across new construction, retrofits, system takeovers, and service calls.

Cameras are the core of this role. You share a crew with the Access Control Technician and the Intrusion Technician, and on some jobs you will help wire and test doors and readers, so expect to cross-train on Avigilon access control. Your work mix follows the project schedule, so some weeks are mostly cameras and some are mostly doors. You bring solid low voltage fundamentals and take each camera to a working handoff: mounted to the design, aimed and focused for the view the client needs, powered and addressed on the network, registered, recording to the retention the design calls for, and shown to the client's staff.

You will work with the Field Operations Lead and the Project Manager, build to the Physical Security Engineer's design, and take on-site service work routed through the Physical Security Service Desk. Intrusion alarm panels and sensors are the Intrusion Technician's work.

Unió Digital is a Rhombus and Avigilon partner and a licensed Arizona alarm business. Occupied buildings sometimes mean after-hours work. Some client sites and mine sites require site-specific safety training, a background check, or drug screening before you can work there. This seat is open as a W-2 employee position or as a contractor engagement. W-2 employees receive company-paid certifications and training.
