Planning video surveillance and access control as one system
Cameras and access readers installed in isolation leave blind spots and unclear rights. How to plan physical security as one integrated system.
Security & Access Systems
Video surveillance and access control, designed as one system.
Video surveillance, access control, perimeter protection and intercom — designed for coverage and control, integrated with your network and handed over documented.
Security & Access Systems
Security that works with the rest of your infrastructure
Cameras and access readers are only as good as their placement, the network they run on and the way access rights and recordings are managed. When security is installed in isolation, blind spots, unclear access rights and unreliable recording are common.
KMS plans physical security together with the network and building infrastructure: surveillance coverage, recording and monitoring, access zones and roles, visitor management and perimeter protection — then installs, integrates, tests and hands the system over.
What we solve
- 01
Blind spots
Camera positions chosen without coverage planning leave critical areas unobserved.
- 02
Uncontrolled access
Keys and cards are issued without zones, roles or a record of who can enter where.
- 03
Unreliable recording
Storage, retention and network capacity are not planned, so recordings are missing when needed.
- 04
Isolated systems
Surveillance, access control and intercom do not work together or with the network.
The KMS approach
We start from risks and operations, then design coverage, access and integration around them.
Coverage planning
Camera positions and types chosen for the areas and details that matter.
Access zoning
Access zones and role-based rights defined with you before installation.
Network-aware design
Security devices planned into the network with appropriate segmentation and recording capacity.
Personal data considered
Recording, biometric and recognition functions are planned with the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection in mind; their purpose and lawful basis are defined by the system owner.

Technical capabilities
IP video surveillance
Indoor, outdoor, PTZ and thermal cameras planned for coverage, detail and reliable recording.
Recording & monitoring
NVR / DVR recording, retention planning and centralized video monitoring.
Video analytics
Object detection, ANPR / LPR and — where the owner has a lawful basis — facial recognition, planned with personal data protection requirements in mind.
Access control
Card, PIN, biometric and mobile access with electronic locks, door controllers and management software.
Visitors, perimeter & intercom
Visitor registration, perimeter protection, intercom and video door entry.
System integration
Security systems connected with each other and with the network.
Project methodology
- 1
Assessment
Site walk-through, risks, operating hours, entrances and critical areas.
- 2
Design
Coverage plan, access zones and roles, network and recording requirements.
- 3
Installation
Cameras, readers, controllers, locks, intercom and cabling.
- 4
Integration
Connection with the network and other systems; configuration of rights, recording and analytics.
- 5
Testing
Coverage, recording and access checks against agreed criteria.
- 6
Handover
Documentation, user instructions and support terms.
Personal data and responsibility
We design, install and integrate the systems; we do not provide guarding services or legal advice. The use of video recordings, biometric data and facial recognition — including meeting the requirements of the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection — is the responsibility of the system owner. We take these requirements into account in design and recommend suitable settings, such as retention periods and access rights.
Security & Access Systems
What you receive
A security system whose coverage, recording and access rights were calculated and checked, not guessed: cameras see the areas that matter, recordings are kept for the agreed period, and every door follows the agreed zones and roles.
Depending on project scope, the design and handover documents include:
Camera coverage plan
Which areas each camera covers and at what level of detail, checked against the critical zones.
Camera positioning layout
Camera positions and types on the floor plans — the basis for installation and later changes.
Storage capacity calculation
Recording storage sized from camera count, resolution, recording mode and the agreed retention period.
Access zones
Which doors belong to which zone and who may pass where, by role and identification method.
System integration documentation
How cameras, access control, intercom and the network are connected and configured to work together.
Commissioning results
Recorded checks of coverage, recording and access against the agreed criteria.

Frequently asked questions
Can you extend our existing camera system?
Often yes. We first assess the existing equipment and recording setup, then propose whether to extend, integrate or replace parts of it.
Do you install facial recognition and biometric access?
Yes, where the system owner has a lawful basis for the specific facility and purpose under the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection. In design we discuss the purpose, data retention and access rights and take these requirements into account; the decision on lawful use, and any legal advice, remain with the owner.
Can security devices share the office network?
They can run on the same physical infrastructure, but we plan appropriate network segmentation so security devices are separated from other traffic.
Who will operate the system after handover?
Your team. We provide the information and instructions needed to operate it, and ongoing support can be agreed separately.
Can cameras, access control and intercom work as one system?
Yes. Security system integration is part of this direction: we plan how cameras, access control, intercom and perimeter systems connect so they can be monitored and managed together.
How long is video footage stored?
It depends on the number of cameras, resolution, recording mode and your requirements. The storage capacity is calculated during design, so the agreed retention period is actually achievable.
Do you install intercoms for residential buildings?
Yes. Intercom and video door entry systems for residential and commercial buildings are part of this direction, often together with video surveillance.
