Cameras, Access Control & Smart Security

Integrated cameras, NVR/VMS, door access, credentials, intercom, smart entry and supported AI video systems designed with the surrounding network and IT environment in mind.

Connected Security Technology

Cameras, doors and networks should not be designed as unrelated systems.

Modern cameras, recorders, controllers and intercoms rely on PoE, IP networking, identity, storage, remote access and software. Orbiwest helps coordinate those layers so the system is easier to operate, secure and support.

Capabilities

Exact features depend on the platform, licensing and site requirements.

IP Cameras & CCTV

Coverage planning, camera configuration, network setup and troubleshooting.

NVR / VMS

Camera enrollment, recording, playback, retention, users and administration.

Door Access Control

Controllers, readers, access levels, schedules and supported credential workflows.

Cards, Fobs & Credentials

RFID cards, key fobs, PINs and mobile credentials where supported.

Intercom & Video Entry

Door stations, video intercom and entry workflows with supported integrations.

Camera + Door Events

Associate access events with nearby video where supported by the platform.

PoE & Security Networks

Switching, VLANs, addressing, bandwidth and secure management placement.

Storage & Retention

Recorder sizing, bitrate, storage capacity and retention-target planning.

Remote & Mobile Viewing

Secure vendor-supported cloud, VPN or management access options.

AI Video Analytics

Person/vehicle detection, smart events, line crossing, intrusion zones and metadata where supported.

LPR Workflows

License-plate search/event workflows where supported, appropriate and lawful.

System Modernization

Troubleshoot existing systems and plan phased upgrades where practical.

Electrical, life-safety, fire-alarm, permitting and code-regulated door-hardware work may require appropriately licensed or qualified trades. Orbiwest can coordinate the IT, networking, configuration and integration portions when included in the engagement.

Typical project flow

A practical path from problem to supported system.

1. Assess

Understand coverage, doors, network, recorder, storage, remote-access and operational requirements.

2. Design

Define supported devices, network placement, retention, credentials, access and integrations.

3. Implement & Handoff

Configure, test, document and hand off the system with responsible administration clearly defined.

Customer access and operating ownershipWe document the platform, network dependencies, administrative roles and routine operating procedures so authorized customer contacts can understand and operate the system.

Beyond cameras and doors

Connected facilities can include environmental and operational sensors too.

Server-Room Environment

Temperature, humidity, water-leak and door/contact monitoring.

Air Quality & Occupancy

CO₂, PM2.5, TVOC, noise, ambient light and occupancy where supported.

Facility Alerts

Motion, glass-break, panic and other supported sensors tied to alerts or nearby video.
