offthegridit

Based in San Jose and serving clients across the Bay Area, offthegridit has operated since 2012 with a small team of one to ten people. The company works with both businesses and individual homeowners, covering the technology a property or office depends on day to day — from network infrastructure to camera systems and general computer support for Windows, Mac, and Linux users. The service list spans IT strategy consulting, cybersecurity, networking and WiFi setup, access control, video surveillance, and computer repair, alongside search engine optimization, web design, and email marketing. On the IT and security side, the described process follows four steps: an initial call or message to outline the problem, an on-site or remote assessment of the existing setup, installation and configuration of cabling, hardware, access points, or cameras, and ongoing network monitoring intended to catch issues before they become visible to the client. Cybersecurity work includes incident response and network hardening, while video surveillance projects involve camera systems and AI-based detection sized to the property. Access control is handled through keyless entry systems with defined permissions. The company positions itself as handling networking, cybersecurity, video surveillance, and computer support under one team rather than splitting the work across separate vendors, with support delivered by local technicians rather than a call center.
