Physical Infrastructure

Security camera design and installation for businesses

An IP camera system that covers what really matters, records a clear picture, and lets you see your business from anywhere. And because every camera is also a device on your network, we design it from an information security perspective too: a separate network, a hardened system and secure remote viewing.

Elad personally oversees every project and makes sure it runs at the highest standard, from the first site visit to handover.

A security camera is also a computer on your network

A good camera system deters intruders, documents events as they happen, and gives you peace of mind: you can see what is happening at the entrance, in the warehouse or at the register even when you are not there. But behind every IP camera and every recorder there is a small computer, with an operating system, a password and a connection to your business network. A camera with a default password, without security updates or exposed to the internet, is one of the most common ways into business networks, and hacked cameras have already been used in large-scale attacks around the world. The recordings themselves are sensitive information too: images of employees, customers and visitors that must be kept and protected like any other personal data.

In practice, in many businesses the installer exposed the recorder to the internet so it could be viewed from a phone, the password was never changed, the cameras share a network with the computers and servers, and nobody is sure anymore who has access to the app. We design the camera system from both directions together: the physical side, meaning coverage, angles, lighting and recording quality, and the information security side, meaning a separate network, hardening, permissions and secure remote viewing. Installation is carried out by a contractor on our behalf, with Cat6 or Cat6a cabling and under Marom Cyber's responsibility, so you have one point of contact for the whole project.

When it matters

When should you deal with your cameras?

If one of these sounds familiar, it is time to review your system.

An incident with no footage

A break-in, a theft or a dispute with a supplier or customer, and no clear recording to rely on.

An old system that does not do the job

Blurry images, cameras that stopped recording, or a system you cannot view remotely.

Default password and an exposed recorder

The previous installer exposed the recorder to the internet for phone viewing, and nobody changed the password.

Cameras on the office network

The cameras sit on the same network as the computers and servers, so one weak device exposes all the rest.

A new office, warehouse or branch

The right time to plan coverage, cabling and the network together, from the start.

An insurer, landlord or customer requires it

Your insurer, landlord or a customer's security questionnaire asks to see an orderly, protected camera system.

What's included

A camera system that is planned, installed and secured

We start with a site visit, and build a plan that fits the business.

Site visit and coverage design

Mapping entrances, registers, storage and sensitive areas, and setting the position and angle of every camera, including lighting and night conditions.

Deliverable: camera placement plan

Camera and recorder selection

Equipment that fits the need: resolution, night vision, indoor or outdoor, and a manufacturer that provides regular security updates.

Deliverable: reasoned equipment recommendation

Cabling and installation

Cat6 or Cat6a cabling, cameras powered over the same cable as their data (PoE), and professional installation by a contractor on our behalf.

Deliverable: installed and labeled system

A separate network for cameras

The cameras and recorder move to a separate network zone (VLAN), isolated from the business computers and servers.

Deliverable: isolated camera network

Camera and recorder hardening

Replacing default passwords, firmware updates, and turning off services that are not needed.

Deliverable: hardened system

Secure remote viewing

Viewing from phone and computer over an encrypted connection, without exposing the recorder to the internet.

Deliverable: remote viewing configured

Role-based viewing permissions

Every user gets only what they need: live view, recordings or exporting clips.

Deliverable: permissions table

Recording and retention

Local, cloud or combined recording, with a retention period set with you according to business needs.

Deliverable: defined retention policy

Training and handover

A short session on viewing, searching recordings and exporting a clip, for everyone on your side who needs it.

Deliverable: short user guide
Process

How it works

Four stages, from the first site visit to a system working on your premises.

1. Introduction and site visit

We understand what matters to you to see and record, and visit the site.

2. Design and proposal

A camera placement plan, equipment selection and network design, approved with you before we start.

3. Installation and configuration

Our contractor installs and wires, and we configure the network, hardening, permissions and remote viewing.

4. Testing and handover

We check the image, recording and remote viewing of every camera, and hand the system over with training.

Deliverables

What stays with you at the end

The system is yours, and all the information about it stays with you.

  • A camera placement plan, with the coverage area of every camera.
  • An equipment list, and labeling of every camera and network point.
  • Access credentials for the recorder and cameras, fully owned by you.
  • A viewing permissions table: who sees what.
  • A backup of the recorder settings.
  • A short guide to viewing, searching recordings and exporting a clip.

Personal oversight until the project succeeds

Elad oversees every stage of the project and is responsible for the result. You have one senior point of contact for every question.

Every camera is part of the network

We treat every camera and recorder like any computer in the organization: hardening, updates and permissions, as part of the business's information security.

A view of the whole infrastructure

Cameras are designed together with the cabling, the network and the firewall, so everything works as one system.

Our contractor, our responsibility

Physical installation is carried out by a contractor on our behalf, and Marom Cyber is responsible for the whole project. No need to coordinate several suppliers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about business security cameras

If anything is unclear, you can always ask us directly.

How many cameras do we need?
It depends on the size of the site, the number of entrances and what matters to you to see. During the site visit we map the important points and recommend the number of cameras that covers them, with no unnecessary cameras.
Local recording or cloud?
Each option has advantages. A local recorder keeps the footage on site and does not depend on the internet connection, while the cloud keeps a copy even if the equipment on site is damaged or stolen. You can also combine the two. We will recommend what fits the need and the budget.
How long are recordings kept?
The retention period is set with you, according to business needs, storage capacity and the number of cameras. It is best to keep only as much as you really need, because recordings are personal data that must be protected.
What is allowed when filming employees and customers?
The Israeli Privacy Protection Authority has guidelines on cameras in the workplace and in places open to the public, for example signage, camera placement, the purpose of filming and the retention period. We design the system with these guidelines in mind and refer you to them, but this is not legal advice. For specific questions, consult a lawyer.
Can existing cameras be integrated?
Often, yes. We check the existing cameras and recorder: if they fit the need and still receive security updates, we integrate them. If not, we recommend what is worth replacing.
Why are cameras an information security risk?
Every IP camera and recorder is a small computer connected to the network. When it keeps a default password, is not updated or is exposed to the internet, it can become a way into the business network. That is why we move them to a separate network, harden them and restrict access to them and to the recordings.
Can we view from a phone?
Yes. Remote viewing is set up over a secure connection, without exposing the recorder to the internet, and every user gets only the permissions they need.
Who installs the cameras?
Physical installation is carried out by a contractor on our behalf, under Marom Cyber's responsibility. We are responsible for the design, for connecting the system securely to the network and for the handover, so you have one point of contact for the whole project.
Do you look after the system after installation?
Absolutely, if that suits you. With ongoing support we handle firmware updates, permission changes and periodic checks that the system records properly. The scope is set to your needs.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on the number of cameras, the equipment, the recording method and the scope of cabling. After a site visit you will receive a clear proposal with a defined scope and price.
