> Managed IP CCTV for businesses: cameras on an isolated network, encrypted recording, role-based remote access and GDPR built in. No-obligation proposal.

# Business video surveillance: managed IP CCTV, secure, GDPR-ready

At a glance For decision-makers short on time.

- 01 IP cameras on a separate VLAN, encrypted NVR recording and per-user remote access.
- 02 GDPR and CNPD rules applied in the design: signage, angles, retention and access logs.
- 03 Cameras and recorders monitored and maintained by DataRoad under an IT Unlimited contract.
- 04 No standalone equipment sales; for companies with more than 10 workstations.

**Stolen stock, an employee's fall, a customer complaint: without footage, every incident comes down to your word against someone else's. And a badly installed camera opens a new door into the company network. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting, one of Portugal's reference providers of managed networks and security, delivers video surveillance that serves as evidence without creating risk: high-definition IP cameras on an isolated network, encrypted NVR recording, role-based remote viewing and GDPR resolved in the design. After installation, the system is under continuous management in an IT Unlimited contract.**

## Why is a badly installed camera an IT risk?

Because it is a computer connected to your network. Recorders exposed to the internet and cameras with old firmware are among attackers' favourite entry points. DataRoad treats CCTV like any other managed asset:

- **Dedicated infrastructure**: cabling and PoE sized for the number of cameras, NVR on a VLAN separate from the working network, discreet mounting.
- **Security**: nothing exposed to the open internet, individual accounts with access logs, firmware kept up to date under control.

## How is a professional CCTV system designed?

Space first, equipment second. We map the areas to cover, critical points, lighting conditions and blind spots; only then is each camera chosen.

| Component | What we deliver |
| --- | --- |
| Cameras | IP, high definition, indoor and outdoor, professional brands, never consumer models |
| Recording | NVR with encrypted disk, configured retention and safeguarding of relevant footage |
| Access | Directly on phone or PC, with per-person profiles and the recorder never exposed |
| Documentation | System documented and compliance file delivered at handover |

## Does the system comply with GDPR and CNPD rules?

Yes, from the design stage. Portuguese law is specific and DataRoad applies it before the first camera is switched on:

- **Framing** that excludes public roads and rest areas.
- **Limited retention**, configured on the NVR.
- **Viewing trail**: who saw what and when.
- **Information for employees** on the existence and purpose of the system.

## Who makes sure the cameras keep recording?

DataRoad. A camera that has been down for weeks is the same as no camera. We track the status of cameras and recorders, receive failure alerts, apply firmware and handle faults under the contract. Round-the-clock 24/7 monitoring is available only on the Premium 365 plan.

CCTV fits into the rest of the protection we operate: [managed firewalls](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-firewall-services-portugal/), [managed cybersecurity](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-cybersecurity-services/), [network infrastructure](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/structured-cabling-installation/) and [managed backup](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/managed-backup-services-portugal/). One point of contact, one responsibility.

## Questions from decision-makers

### Can I buy just the cameras?

No, DataRoad does not sell cameras or standalone equipment. Video surveillance is part of an IT Unlimited contract: we install, operate and maintain the system, and we answer for it. That is what ensures the cameras keep recording, firmware is updated and the recorder is never left exposed to the internet by oversight.

### What does the installation include?

The installation includes a site survey, professional IP cameras, sized cabling and PoE, an NVR on a separate network, role-based remote access and full documentation. At handover, the company receives the compliance file with signage, angles, retention and access logging defined in line with GDPR and the CNPD guidelines.

### Can I view footage from outside the company?

Yes, footage can be viewed on a phone or computer with personal credentials, without the recorder being directly reachable from the internet. Every viewing is logged, with who saw what and when. Profiles define who can watch live, who can review recordings and who can export footage.

### Who looks after the system after installation?

DataRoad looks after the system after installation, under the IT Unlimited contract. We monitor cameras and recorder, receive failure alerts, apply firmware updates and handle faults. Round-the-clock 24/7 monitoring is available only on the Premium 365 plan.

### Does installation require building work?

Usually not, installation does not require building work. Cabling is planned to be tidy and discreet, and the work is organised so as not to interrupt operations. When a point needs more work, such as an outdoor camera far from the rack, it is identified in the survey and described in the proposal before any decision.
