Introduction
Office security goes beyond preventing theft—it protects sensitive documents, ensures employee safety, and provides accountability. Modern systems combine CCTV with access control and intercom to create a comprehensive security environment.
Camera Placement for Offices
Essential positions include the main entrance, reception area, server room, and parking garage. Open-plan offices benefit from wide-angle dome cameras, while corridors need turret or bullet cameras with a narrower field of view for longer-range coverage.
Access Control Integration
Pair cameras with Hikvision card readers or face-recognition terminals at entry doors. When an access event occurs, the linked camera captures a snapshot, creating a visual audit trail of who entered and when.
Privacy Considerations
Avoid placing cameras in restrooms, prayer rooms, and private offices unless security risks justify it. Clearly inform employees about camera locations through signage and company policy. Compliance with Egyptian labour regulations on employee monitoring is essential.
Network and IT Integration
Office cameras share the corporate network. Use managed PoE switches with VLANs to separate CCTV traffic from business data, ensuring neither system impacts the other’s performance.
