Why Being a Security Installer Technician Is the Coolest Job in the World

When people hear the word “technician,” they might think of wires, tools, and screwdrivers — and sure, those are part of the job. But being a Security Installer Technician is so much more than that. It's a passport to places most people never get to see, a role that blends tech knowledge, field skills, and real-world impact.

And if you want to get started fast, the place to begin is Volta Technical School — where you don’t just learn, you train for the real world.

A Career That’s Always in Demand

This industry isn’t slowing down. It’s growing faster than ever. Businesses, schools, hospitals, factories, and entire cities need surveillance and access control systems — and they need skilled people to install them.

There are:

• More systems to install
• More upgrades needed
• More technicians retiring than entering the field

At Volta Technical School, we train you to step directly into this high-demand workforce with skills that matter from day one.

What Does a Security Installer Actually Do?

As a professional security installer, you become the guardian of modern spaces. Your job isn’t just to install cameras or alarms — it’s to make people feel safe, protect businesses, and build the systems that watch over the world.

You’ll work with:

• Video surveillance systems (CCTV) – Installing and configuring modern IP cameras and recorders
• Access control systems – Setting up door readers, intercoms, electric strikes, and maglocks
• Alarm systems – Installing sensors, control panels, and remote alerting devices
• Network infrastructure – Running low-voltage cable and integrating smart devices

These are the skills we teach you at Volta Technical School, using the tools, systems, and techniques used in the real field.

Where This Career Takes You

Here's what makes this job seriously awesome: you're not stuck in an office, you're not working the same jobsite for weeks at a time — you're everywhere.

Installers go where the action is:

• Hospitals
• Schools and campuses
• Office buildings and towers
• Stores, malls, and restaurants
• Warehouses and factories
• Police departments and courthouses
• Stadiums and event centers
• Airports and transportation hubs

Your job gives you access to the places your friends will never see — rooftops, server rooms, behind restricted doors. You’re behind the scenes, and it’s thrilling.

Work Smart, Not Hard

This career isn’t about lifting heavy stuff all day. It’s about working smart:

• Diagnosing a camera feed
• Programming access readers
• Mounting devices with precision
• Reading schematics and site plans
• Coordinating with IT teams

At Volta Technical School, we teach you how to be confident and capable — not just in wiring and drilling, but in thinking like a pro tech.

No Degree Needed. Just Skills.

Here’s the truth: you don’t need a college degree to have a great career. You need training that’s actually useful. You need:

• Hands-on practice
• Smart system knowledge
• Field experience

That’s exactly what you get at Volta Technical School. We train you in surveillance, access control, and alarms with real equipment and real-world scenarios.
