Service 03 — Security & Video Protection

See what
truly matters.

Design, deployment, and operation of IP video surveillance systems for businesses, public authorities, and industrial sites. High-resolution cameras, 24/7 remote monitoring, and built-in GDPR compliance integrated from the initial engineering phase.

Why Choose Us

Video surveillance that works, exactly when you need it.

01

Open Architecture

We partner with industry-leading brands (Axis, Hikvision, Bosch, Hanwha) utilizing the ONVIF protocol. No vendor lock-in — you maintain complete control over your system and service providers.

02

GDPR by Design

Privacy masking, configured retention cycles, data processing logs, and access request protocols: everything is delivered fully compliant upon commissioning, never as an afterthought.

03

Proactive Monitoring

Beyond simple recording, we provide active monitoring with optional visual verification through APSAD P5 certified stations, intelligent alerts, and comprehensive incident reporting.

Our Security & Video Protection Solutions

From sensor to pixel, everything is mastered.

Site Layout Study

Site mapping, focal length calculation, field of view simulation, and blind spot analysis. Privacy masking over private areas (breakrooms, offices) is planned from day one.

High-Definition IP Cameras

Fixed cameras, motorized domes (PTZ), thermal units for perimeter breaches, 360° fisheye for open offices, and ANPR for license plate recognition. Resolutions from 2 to 12 MP, low-light performance, and IR up to 50m.

Hybrid NVR / VMS

Local NVR storage for high-resolution streams, paired with encrypted cloud redundancy for business continuity. Scalable architecture built for 4 cameras up to multi-site systems with hundreds of feeds.

24/7 Monitoring

Optional visual verification via APSAD P5 certified monitoring centers. Intrusion detection backed by AI video analytics (differentiating humans, animals, and vehicles), mobile alerts, and security guard dispatching.

Built-in GDPR Compliance

Data processing logging, automated retention cycles (30 days by default), regulatory signage layouts, and data access response protocols. Annual compliance audits included.

Access Control Integration

Video feeds and access security managed within a single interface. Instant visual confirmation for every badge event, streamlined entry/exit historical auditing, and anti-passback or tailgating alerts.

Our core principle: Video security must serve to prevent, deter, and document — never to spy on employees. Every system strictly adheres to the GDPR proportionality principle, leaving private spaces hidden by default.

Use Cases

Seven sectors, seven tailored configurations.

Logistics

Monitoring of loading docks, inbound/outbound license plate tracking, and night-time perimeter protection via thermal imaging.

Industry

Securing ATEX explosion-hazard zones, tracking high-value inventory storage, protecting R&D laboratories, and maintaining environmental compliance.

Corporate

Lobbies, parking facilities, and supply closets. Coupled with access control systems for instant visual verification. GDPR masking over work desks.

Retail

Loss prevention, cash register monitoring, foot-traffic analytics, and anomalous behavior detection driven by on-edge AI algorithms.

Healthcare

Access management in senior living facilities, ER security monitoring in private clinics, and AI-assisted fall detection in corridors.

Public Sector

Urban area video protection, monitoring of schools, sports complexes, and waste collection points. Coordination with municipal law enforcement.

Hospitality

Surveillance of common spaces, guest parking lots, and back-of-house service areas. Highly discreet camera designs that integrate smoothly into the architecture.

On the Field

From camera lens to the control center.

Frequently Asked Questions — Security & Video Protection

Everything you need to know about legal compliance.

Do video surveillance systems need to be declared to the Data Protection Authority?
For private workspaces not open to the public, registration in your internal GDPR data processing log is mandatory, but no direct declaration to the Data Protection Authority is required. For locations open to the public, a prefectural authorization is necessary. We manage the entire compliance process for you.
What is the legal retention period for video footage?
Data protection rules recommend a maximum of 30 days. Beyond this, any extended timeframe must be officially justified by a legitimate need (such as ongoing legal proceedings or police investigations). We configure a 30-day automatic overwrite cycle by default, which can be adjusted to match your declared setup.
What is the difference between an NVR and a VMS?
An NVR (Network Video Recorder) is a dedicated, closed hardware appliance designed for simple recording. A VMS (Video Management System) is an open software enterprise framework capable of managing multi-site systems, integrating smart video analytics, access systems, and advanced AI. An NVR fits setups with 1 to 16 cameras perfectly; for larger deployment or multi-site setups, a VMS is highly recommended.
Can video surveillance be coupled with access control?
Yes, it is highly recommended. Integrating both systems allows for visual validation during each badge check and easy retrospective audits of entries and exits. Both functions are handled through a single, unified interface.
What happens in the event of a network outage?
IP cameras record locally onto edge-storage micro SD cards or directly to the local NVR during downtime. They seamlessly sync back up with the cloud once infrastructure comes online. No footage is lost. Critical alerts are triggered if an outage persists.
Is AI-driven video analysis GDPR compliant?
It depends entirely on the usage. Object and non-biometric anomaly detection is compliant. Conversely, live facial recognition requires strict regulatory clearance from relevant data privacy authorities. We will guide you toward permitted configurations based on your operational context.
