Why do you need Security Cameras in Calgary?
Calgary businesses install CCTV to deter burglary and vandalism, resolve disputes over parking or trespassing, protect outdoor equipment and inventory, and monitor employee safety. Cameras can also add video verification to your access control system.
How do you pick the right Security Camera system for your Business?
Start by defining what you need to see — entry doors, parking lots, or high-value areas — and be realistic about budget. Cheap online kits and big-box DIY systems use older tech, and few Calgary professionals will service them. Consider indoor vs. outdoor placement and on-site vs. cloud storage. Bordo designs the right system for your space.

Security Camera Brands We Install in Calgary
We design camera systems around what you actually need to see — not the most cameras, the right cameras. Every brand below is one we install and support across Calgary and Alberta, from single-store systems to multi-building industrial sites.
Hanwha Vision
Hanwha Vision (formerly Samsung Techwin) has been building security cameras for over 40 years, backed by the manufacturing muscle of the Hanwha Group. Their Wisenet cameras are known for excellent low-light image quality and reliable on-camera analytics that flag people, vehicles, and loitering without a separate server. It is a strong pick when you want proven, professional-grade cameras at a sensible price point — ideal for retail, offices, warehouses, and multi-site businesses that need dependable coverage without overengineering.

Axis Communications
Axis invented the network camera, and they have led the industry ever since. As one of the heaviest R and D investors in the business, Axis cameras deliver outstanding image quality, rock-solid reliability, and an open platform that integrates with virtually any video management software. Their Zipstream technology cuts bandwidth and storage without sacrificing detail. We recommend Axis when image quality and long-term reliability matter most — corporate campuses, critical infrastructure, and anywhere a blurry image is not an option.

Avigilon
Avigilon pairs high-resolution cameras with powerful built-in analytics and their HDSM stream management technology, which preserves image detail while keeping bandwidth under control. The result is clear, searchable video across large areas with fewer cameras. Their self-learning analytics can distinguish people and vehicles from background motion, cutting false alarms dramatically — a natural fit for industrial sites, logistics yards, schools, and any property where you need to cover a lot of ground and find events fast.

Hikvision
Hikvision is one of the worlds largest video surveillance manufacturers, offering a complete lineup: IP cameras, NVRs, PTZ domes, panoramic cameras, and transmission equipment. That breadth makes it a true one-stop shop — one brand for the entire system, which simplifies installation, support, and expansion. It is a practical choice for budget-conscious projects that still need solid performance: small businesses, rental properties, and residential systems where value matters.

IndigoVision
IndigoVision builds complete end-to-end video security solutions — cameras, recorders, body-worn video, and management software designed to work together as one system. Now part of Motorola Solutions, it is a trusted name in large, mission-critical deployments where stability across the whole chain matters. Best suited to enterprise and public-sector projects: airports, transit, campuses, and multi-site organizations that need a single, tightly integrated platform.

Milestone
Milestones XProtect is the worlds leading open-platform video management software. Instead of locking you into one camera brand, it integrates with thousands of camera models and other security systems, so your video platform grows with you. We recommend Milestone for organizations that want freedom of choice — mix camera brands, add analytics, and tie video into access control and alarms, all managed from one interface. Ideal for enterprises and anyone planning to scale. Explore Milestone systems in Calgary →
SightLogix
SightLogix smart thermal cameras are built for the hardest job in video security: outdoor perimeter protection. They detect people and vehicles in complete darkness, fog, and glare, across long distances where regular cameras go blind. Their analytics are tuned to ignore animals, weather, and other non-threats, so you get alerts that actually matter. We use SightLogix for large perimeters and high-risk sites — utilities, oil and gas, airports, and critical infrastructure — where missing an intrusion is not an option.

Verkada
Verkada is cloud-managed physical security done simply: cameras, access control, and intercoms all managed from one web dashboard, with no on-site server to maintain. Footage is stored on the camera and backed to the cloud, and powerful search tools let you find people, vehicles, and events in seconds. Trusted by tens of thousands of organizations, it is ideal for multi-location businesses, schools, and property managers who want enterprise-grade security their own IT team can actually manage.

Genetec
Genetec is a Canadian company whose Security Center platform unifies video surveillance, access control and licence plate recognition in one system. It’s trusted by airports, cities, universities and large enterprises across the country. Our team includes Genetec-certified technicians, so your unified system is designed, installed and supported by people factory-trained on the platform. Ideal for organizations that want one system running their entire security operation.
Uniview
Uniview (UNV) is one of the world’s largest video surveillance manufacturers, known for dependable commercial IP cameras and recorders with strong low-light performance and smart analytics at a practical price. It’s a popular choice for Calgary businesses that want enterprise-grade features without the enterprise price tag — we install Uniview for retail, warehouses, offices and multi-site operations.
Bosch
Bosch security cameras are known for German engineering, excellent low-light performance and built-in video analytics. A premium choice for institutions, campuses and commercial sites across Calgary.
Pelco
Pelco has been a workhorse name in professional video surveillance for decades, and many Calgary facilities still run Pelco systems. Bordo services and upgrades existing Pelco installations and can migrate them to modern platforms without starting over.
Digital Watchdog
Digital Watchdog (DW) builds dependable, good-value camera systems powered by the DW Spectrum video platform. A smart pick for businesses that want an easy-to-use system that can watch many sites from one screen.
Geovision
GeoVision offers a wide range of IP cameras and its own video management platform, popular in retail, parking and multi-site operations. Bordo installs and supports GeoVision systems across the Calgary area.
Samsung
Millions of Samsung CCTV cameras are still running in Calgary buildings (Samsung’s camera business continues today as Hanwha Vision). Bordo services existing Samsung installations and upgrades them to current Hanwha technology when it’s time.
Panasonic
Panasonic surveillance cameras (today sold under the i-PRO name) are trusted in institutions and large facilities for image quality and reliability. Bordo installs and services Panasonic / i-PRO camera systems.
How Your Camera Project Works With Bordo
Every project starts with understanding what you need to see. We talk through your priorities – entry doors, the parking lot, inventory areas, or the full property – and assess the site so the system is designed around those needs, with the right mix of indoor and outdoor cameras.
Based on that design, you receive a clear quote for the system. We walk you through the choices that shape it: which camera brands fit the job, whether footage is stored on your own hardware or online, and how you want to view it.
Our technicians then handle the professional installation, including all wiring, and show you how to watch live and recorded video from your phone, tablet, or computer. After that, support stays local – our Calgary team is here at 403-397-3300 whenever you need help.
Licence Plate Recognition for Parkades & Yards
If vehicles move through your property, plate records are evidence you can’t afford to miss. Our licence plate recognition (LPR) cameras read plates day and night — entering, exiting, or parked — and store them in a searchable log you can pull up in seconds. Parkades use LPR to control gates, catch tailgating and repeat offenders, and support monthly parker billing. Yards and industrial sites use it to log every truck in and out. We integrate plate cameras with leading platforms, including Genetec AutoVu, for automatic alerts on watch-listed vehicles.
Cloud Video — No Recorder to Steal or Fail
A traditional recorder works until it doesn’t — or until someone takes it. Cloud video moves your footage off-site: cameras record securely to the cloud, so your video survives fire, flood, theft and hardware failure, and you can watch any site from your phone or browser. It’s a strong fit for multi-location businesses and sites without a secure room for equipment. We set up cloud video with leading platforms and can run hybrid systems — local recording plus cloud backup — where that’s the smarter design.
Security Camera FAQs - Calgary
Which security camera brands do you install in Calgary?
We install and support Hanwha Vision, Axis Communications, Avigilon, Hikvision, IndigoVision, Milestone, SightLogix, and Verkada across Calgary and Alberta.
Can I watch my cameras from my phone?
Yes. You can connect to the system from your cell phone, tablet, and computer, and view your cameras live plus recorded footage anytime, from anywhere.
Do I need indoor or outdoor cameras?
That depends on what you want to monitor – many properties need a combination of both. Outdoor cameras in Canada must be designed for all kinds of weather and temperatures, and keep in mind that all security cameras need wiring, at minimum for power.
Where will my video be stored?
You can store footage on site on your own hardware, or use online storage. Online storage is convenient and possibly more secure, but budget for a monthly subscription fee and space limitations.
Do you install cameras for homes as well as businesses?
Yes. Recent leaps in technology have made quality camera systems more affordable than ever for both business owners and homeowners. We design everything from single-store systems to multi-building industrial sites.
