Why Your Network Matters for Security
Security cameras, access control readers, intercoms, and alarm panels all depend on the network behind them. If the network is slow, crowded, or poorly planned, video can stutter, doors can respond slowly, and intercom calls can fail. Bordo Security designs networks in Calgary with security traffic in mind, so cameras, access control, and intercoms work reliably alongside everyday internet use in the same building.
A planned network also makes future changes easier. When a new camera, access point, or door reader is added, a structured, well-labelled system can take it without a tangle of temporary cables. That is why Bordo looks at the whole property first: how the building is used, where equipment will sit, where cable can be run, and where wireless is the better choice.
Structured Cabling: Cat6 and Fibre
Structured cabling is the wired backbone of a property. Bordo installs Cat5e and Cat6 cable runs and wired data jacks for offices, workstations, cameras, access points, and other fixed equipment. A wired connection is usually the most stable choice for equipment that stays in one place, such as a camera, a desk, or an access point, because it does not compete with other wireless devices for airtime.
For longer runs and for links between buildings or between floors, fibre cabling is used where it fits the site. Fibre is well suited to connecting distant parts of a property and to carrying a large amount of traffic between network cabinets, switches, and buildings. In warehouses, multi-building sites, and larger commercial properties, a mix of Cat6 for local drops and fibre for longer backbone links often gives the most practical result. Bordo plans cable routes, terminations, and labelling so the system is easy to service and expand later. Learn more about our structured cabling services in Calgary.
Network Switches, Routers, and Firewalls
Switches connect wired devices on a local network, routers connect that network to the internet, and firewalls help control what traffic is allowed in and out. Bordo installs and programs switches, routers, and firewalls as part of a complete network, using equipment that fits the size of the property and the number of connected devices.
In a large home, the goal may be steady WiFi and reliable camera and Sonos traffic throughout the house. In an office, warehouse, or condo building, the network may need to support many cameras, access readers, intercoms, and workstations at the same time. Bordo sizes switches and routers for that real load, rather than for a single room, and sets up the network so security equipment and everyday office or home traffic can work side by side.
Wireless Access Points: WiFi That Covers the Whole Property
A single router is rarely enough for a large home, an office floor, a warehouse, or a condo parkade. Bordo installs and programs wireless access points, including indoor and outdoor models, to spread WiFi coverage evenly across a property. Access points are placed where people actually use WiFi: living areas, offices, warehouses, common areas, and outdoor work areas, rather than relying on one device in a corner.
Proper placement and programming matter as much as the hardware. Bordo plans access point locations, checks for dead spots, and sets up the network so devices move between access points without dropping a call or a camera feed. In parkades and warehouses, where concrete, steel, and long distances can weaken a signal, access points are chosen and positioned for that environment. In large homes, access points can bring reliable WiFi to bedrooms, basements, garages, and outdoor areas that a single router cannot reach well.
Point-to-Point Wireless Bridges: Connecting Buildings Without Trenching
When two or more buildings need to share one network, running cable between them is not always practical. A point-to-point wireless bridge, already featured on this page through Ubiquiti wireless bridges, creates a high-speed wireless link between buildings, yards, and remote camera locations. Bordo installs and programs these bridges for multi-building properties, industrial sites, and locations where cable runs would require trenching, road crossings, or work in hard-to-reach areas.
Wireless bridges are often used to connect a camera at a gate, yard, or outbuilding back to the main building, or to link a second building’s cameras, access control, and intercoms into the same system. Bordo checks line of sight, distance, and interference during a site assessment, and mounts and aligns the bridge equipment so the link stays stable. For properties that are expanding, a bridge can be a practical way to extend the network to a new building without a major construction project.
Typical Calgary Use Cases
Large homes benefit from structured wiring for fixed equipment, access points for whole-home WiFi, and a network that supports cameras and Sonos audio-video together. Warehouses benefit from wired drops at workstations and dock areas, access points across the floor, and bridges or fibre links to outbuildings and yards. Multi-building sites benefit from a planned backbone, whether wired or wireless, so cameras and access control in every building can be viewed and managed as one system. Parkades benefit from access points and cameras placed for concrete and low-ceiling conditions, with cabling planned around parking, lighting, and entry points.
How Bordo Plans a Network Installation
Every network starts with a site assessment. Bordo reviews the property layout, existing cabling and equipment, where cameras and access points will sit, and how many devices the network must support now and later. The team then recommends a mix of wired cabling, switches and routers, access points, and, where needed, wireless bridges, using UniFi and TRENDnet equipment already featured on this page. Installation includes cable runs, data jacks, programming, and testing, and the same local team provides support after installation.
