Overview
Santre's physical security service designs, installs and manages IP video surveillance, door access control, intercoms and connected building devices for Canadian businesses. Because cameras, readers and controllers are network devices, Santre places them on segmented networks, keeps firmware current, controls who can view footage and ties door access to employee onboarding and offboarding. It is for organizations that want site security maintained with the same discipline as their computers and servers.
What’s included
Clear footage where it matters, retained for as long as policy requires and easy to retrieve.
Badges, fobs or mobile credentials that can be revoked the moment someone leaves.
When access control is connected to the same identity process as email and devices, offboarding removes building access in the same step as account access, so former staff do not keep working fobs.
Connected security devices are a common way into a network. These controls keep them contained.
Connect the building systems that benefit from monitoring and remote control.
When to consider it
How Santre delivers it
Assess coverage, entry points, cabling and network capacity at each location.
Specify cameras, readers, recording and retention, and the network segment they run on.
Cable, mount and configure devices, then train the people who will review footage.
Monitor device health, update firmware and manage access changes.
Scope
Alarm monitoring itself is provided by a monitoring company; Santre installs and integrates the connected systems. Network design for multi-site connectivity belongs to Network & Infrastructure.
Frequently asked questions
IP cameras offer higher resolution, remote viewing, easier search and central management across sites. They also run over network cabling with power over Ethernet, which simplifies installation.
Yes. Canadian privacy laws require a clear purpose for surveillance, notice to people being recorded, limited retention and controlled access to footage. Santre configures retention and access accordingly; your counsel should confirm the policy for your situation.
Often, yes. Many existing IP cameras can be added to a new recording platform. Santre assesses each device and recommends replacing only those that are unsupported or insecure.
