CCTV for offices
An office needs the entrance, reception, the server or records room door, the rear exit and the parking covered — not the desks. A 4-channel IP system at 4MP starts around PKR 110,000 and suits office ceilings and networks better than analog. Thirty days of retention is the standard.

Doors, not desks
Almost every question an office manager brings to footage — who came in, when did they leave, who entered the server room — is answered by cameras on doors. Coverage over working desks buys little security and costs real goodwill. If a working area must be covered, staff are told plainly and signage goes up; quiet cameras over desks end badly.
The server room gets a door camera and a lock
The room holding the switches, the NAS and the files deserves a camera on its door plus controlled access — a card or fingerprint reader logging entries by name. The pairing is stronger than either alone: the log says who, the frame confirms it. For most offices this is worth more than doubling the camera count.
High-rise wiring in Blue Area
Office floors in Blue Area and the markaz plazas sit above shared risers and locked service shafts, so cable routes need building management's sign-off before anything is drilled — we arrange that as part of the survey, which is free across Islamabad and Rawalpindi. IP helps here: one network run per floor replaces a bundle of coax.
What CCTV does an office need?
Is access control better value than more cameras?
For internal doors, usually yes. A reader logging entries by name answers 'who and when' at lower cost than a camera per door, and the two systems share cabling on one visit.
Can managers watch the cameras from home?
Named accounts can, through the recorder's app over the office connection. We set view-only rights for managers and keep export with the owner or admin, so remote convenience does not become an audit problem.
Rather have it done?
Business CCTV is built around the counter, the entrance, the stock area and the back door, with storage long enough to catch problems you only notice at stocktake. Systems for Islamabad marts, pharmacies, schools and offices start at PKR 85,000, and can tie into access control and your point of sale.
