What a ShieldForce video surveillance system includes

Coverage study

We visit the site and define the number, type and position of every camera to remove blind spots — without filming what should not be filmed.

High-resolution IP cameras

2K or 4K images, night vision and indoor and outdoor models, with enough detail to identify people and number plates.

Secure local recording

Recorders (NVR) with dedicated drives, role-based access and a log of who views footage. Automatic deletion at the end of the retention period.

Live view on your phone

Live cameras and recordings in an app, over an encrypted connection — no ports opened to the internet.

Smart detection

Alerts for people and vehicle detection, line crossing or intrusion into defined zones, so you react instead of scrolling through hours of video.

Integrated with access and alarms

Cameras work together with access control and alarms: every event is linked to the footage of that moment.

Video surveillance within the law

In Portugal, workplace video surveillance has its own rules: visible signage in filmed areas, limits on what can be captured, restricted access to footage and a retention period — generally up to 30 days. Cameras also cannot be used to monitor employee performance, under the Portuguese Labour Code.

We configure the system to meet these requirements from day one: camera framing, privacy masks, access profiles and automatic deletion. We also tell you what should be recorded in your GDPR record of processing activities.

Cameras that do not open the door to attackers

An IP camera is a small computer connected to your network. Poorly configured, it is a way in for anyone targeting your business. That is why we isolate the video system on its own network, replace default credentials, keep firmware up to date and provide remote access over an encrypted connection.

This is where having cybersecurity and physical security in the same team makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a business CCTV system cost?

It depends on the number of cameras, the area to cover, the type of recording and the existing cabling. After an on-site assessment, we send a detailed proposal with equipment, installation and maintenance itemised.

Can I watch the cameras on my phone?

Yes. You can watch live and review recordings in an app, over an encrypted connection with per-user profiles. No router ports need to be opened.

How long are recordings kept?

Generally up to 30 days. We configure the system to delete recordings automatically at the end of the period that applies to your case.

Do I need authorisation from the Portuguese data protection authority (CNPD)?

Since the GDPR, prior authorisation from the CNPD is no longer required. You must still display signage, limit what is filmed, control who accesses footage and keep a record of the processing. We handle the technical side and tell you what should be documented.

Do you maintain systems installed by another company?

Yes. We assess the existing system, keep whatever is in good condition and take over maintenance and support.
