About
Malama means to care for, protect, preserve.
That’s the name. That’s the job.
Our Story
Founded in 2024. Honolulu. We kept running into the same thing: public safety projects where the available technology was too expensive, too locked down, or just didn’t fit the actual site conditions.
So we started building. Surveillance systems for Hawaii communities. Stop-arm cameras for school buses. Guard tracking software for security companies. Traffic surveys. All designed for salt air and remote sites, not a mainland showroom.
On the mainland, we write workzone automation software running on live Caltrans corridors. PCMS board control. Legacy field controllers connected to modern dashboards. The kind of integration work that larger firms quote six figures for and still can’t ship.
Small team. Hardware, software, field ops, cloud. You talk to the people who build your system. No call center.
How We Think
Vendor Agnostic
We recommend what works, not what pays us a commission. We've deployed UniFi, evaluated Avigilon, and replaced Verkada. No loyalty to any brand.
Engineering First
Every system starts with a site survey and a custom design. No cookie-cutter proposals, no overselling.
True Ownership
You own the hardware. You own the footage. You can fire us and everything still works.
