Smart Motion & Camera Lighting Installation in San Jose
San Jose homeowners and business owners know the struggle—dark corners around properties make the perfect hiding spots for intruders, and without proper lighting, security cameras become almost useless at night. With increasing crime rates in the Bay Area, motion-activated security lighting has become a necessity. But installing the right motion or camera lighting isn’t as simple as plugging in a floodlight.
Strict city regulations, HOA restrictions, and high energy costs make it essential to choose professionally installed, compliant, and energy-efficient lighting solutions this is where Emelco Electric comes in.

Ever walked up to your front door in the dark, fumbling for your keys? Or maybe you’ve noticed suspicious activity near your property but didn’t have the right lighting to catch it? Motion sensor lights are a game changer. These lights turn on the moment they detect movement, scaring off intruders, making nighttime navigation safer, and saving energy by only working when needed.

Security Camera Lighting Solutions
What’s the point of having a security camera if it can’t see anything at night? Poor lighting means blurry footage, dark blind spots, and missed details that could have been crucial. That’s why properly placed security lighting is essential for clear, high-quality surveillance. We install motion-activated floodlights, low-glare LED lighting, and infrared (IR) camera lights to enhance visibility without overexposing the scene. Our experts make sure your cameras and lights work together, so you get crisp, detailed video footage day or night without unnecessary glare or wasted energy.Infrared Night Vision Lighting
Sometimes, visible light isn’t the best option, especially if you want discreet, no-glare surveillance. That’s where infrared night vision lighting comes in. These invisible IR LEDs allow your security cameras to capture clear black-and-white footage, even in total darkness. We install high-quality infrared security lighting that works seamlessly with Nest Cam, Arlo Pro, and Hikvision cameras to give you detailed night vision without attracting unwanted attention. Perfect for businesses, gated communities, and high-security areas, IR lighting ensures you see everything without anyone knowing.

EXCELLENT Based on 66 reviews Dr. Alexander M.2025-02-16 After calling Emelco to replace 3 external lights plus the front door lockset with new ones I had purchased that were totally different for my new home, they were able to arrive at my place in less than 1 hour. I witnessed their quality work all the way, and they completed all replacements quickly in about an hour. I am very impressed with their excellent service and highly recommend them for all electrical work including the wiring and installation of electric vehicle charger that they did for me in a previous service call. They are also able to take care of certain mechanical services such as vent and smoke detector relocation. I paid $350 for their labor this time which considering how quickly they arrived and completed the job is definitely worth it. Thank you Emelco for your excellent service.
