Upgrade what you have, or start from scratch
We work exclusively with private homes in the province of Malaga. In both cases the goal is the same: a system that is still switched on five years from now.
Line A
Upgrading existing systems
With AI, LiDAR and radar. You don't have to replace everything — you have to find out what's missing.
What we almost always find
- The router isn't on the UPS, only the recorder. In a power cut the system records but doesn't alert.
- There is no heartbeat check. If the internet drops, the owner never finds out. Silence isn't safety.
- The microphone is enabled by default on many cameras. An unnecessary legal risk.
- The field of view covers a neighbour's property or the public road. Video surveillance ranks year after year among the most frequent grounds for AEPD complaints, and it is a direct source of neighbour disputes.
- The system is switched off because of false alarms.
- There is no water leak protection at all.
- Retention is set to 90 days. The legal maximum in Spain is one month.
What we do
- Full technical inspection with a photographic report
- Reuse of cameras and cabling that are in good condition
- AI recorder, or an analysis unit that adds person, vehicle and animal recognition to existing cameras
- A new perimeter layer: radar, LiDAR or beam, depending on the terrain
- Image verification on every alert
- Corrected mounting heights and angles, tuned to your dog
- Backup power across the whole chain and a second communication path
- Retention set correctly, audio disabled, coverage plan documented
We always start with an inspection. Fixed price, half a day, photographic report. If the system is fine, we'll tell you that too.
Line B
New system installation
A complete project, with the technology chosen for the terrain rather than for the catalogue.
Early detection
Radar for open ground, LiDAR for one specific critical plane — the glazed frontage, the cellar, the top of a wall — beams or curtains for fence runs, thermal for long sight lines.
AI cameras
Person, vehicle and animal classification. The alert only goes out when both layers agree: that is what eliminates false alarms.
Gate and driveway
Vehicle detection on the drive, video entry, and scheduled credentials for the gardener, the pool service or the cleaner. Nobody needs a key.
Automatic shut-off
Leak detection with mains valve closure. It can be linked to arming the alarm: when you leave, the house shuts the water off by itself.
Power and internet
UPS across the whole chain, a second communication path independent of the router, and an hourly heartbeat so an outage becomes an alert rather than silence.
The right materials
On the front line, marine-grade stainless steel on brackets, fixings and cable glands — not just on the camera. Plus sun shields and orientation designed for a Malaga summer.
Maintenance
What keeps the system alive
Installation is the one-off part. On this coast, salt air and heat work against the equipment every single day.
| Service | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Heartbeat | Hourly confirmation that the system is alive; alert to the owner if it stops responding. |
| Technical status | Cameras, disk, actual recording coverage, firmware version, UPS battery. |
| Home telemetry | Water, frost, humidity, power cuts, pool pump. |
| Coastal inspection | Inspection and cleaning of brackets, fixings and seals on properties near the sea. |
| Service access | Issuing and revoking credentials for gardener, pool or cleaning staff. |
| Reporting | Periodic report in English or Spanish, with photographs. |
Maintenance is optional and involves no lock-in period. It is not an alarm receiving centre service.
In detail
Frequently asked questions
Do you install, or only advise?
Both: we design, install, configure and maintain. The technical visit and advice are the starting point, not a stand-alone service.
Do you only work with homes?
Exclusively with private homes: villas, chalets, fincas and urbanisation houses, across Málaga province.
Do you quote by phone?
No — without seeing the plot we would be inventing it. After the technical visit you get one fixed, closed price, with no incomparable parts lists.
Does maintenance lock me in?
No. It is optional, with no lock-in, and it is not an alarm-receiving-centre service.
How much does each service line cost?
It depends on the plot and how much is reused. Upgrades start with a fixed-price survey; new installations start with a technical visit and a fixed quote.
Can I book just the technical survey?
Yes: half a day with a photo report, at a fixed price. If you then commission the upgrade, the survey is deducted from the project.
What does a new installation include?
Site study, perimeter design, technology choice, installation, configuration, testing and a handover dossier.
Do you reuse my current cameras and cabling?
Whatever is in good condition, yes. It is the starting point of an upgrade.
Do you offer maintenance?
Yes, optional and with no lock-in. On the coast it is especially advisable, given salt air and heat.
Do you work on new builds?
Yes: pre-installation and security design during construction, coordinated with the project. Best planned before walls are closed.
Do you install water-leak detection?
Yes, with automatic mains shut-off, linkable to arming the alarm.
Do you do access control for domestic staff?
Yes: keyless credentials for the gardener, pool or cleaner, with managed activation and removal.
What do you NOT do?
We are not a receiving centre, we provide no guarding, patrol or physical response, and we do not guarantee police intervention. We say so in the first conversation.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes, on the installed equipment, plus a handover dossier with inventory, coverage plan and settings.
How long does it take?
Most homes, a few days; the fixed timeframe is stated in the quote.
Do you work with any brand of equipment?
We work on open standards (ONVIF, RTSP, MQTT, relay), so we integrate most. Proprietary parts are assessed first.
Do you work in English?
Yes, in English and Spanish, including the documentation.
Do you cover the whole province of Málaga?
Yes, all 103 municipalities. Inland and in the mountains, travel is agreed in advance.
Can I expand the system later?
Yes: we design in layers so you can start with the essentials and expand without discarding what came before.
How do I start?
With a free technical visit: everything else is decided on site.
Transparency
What we don't do, said plainly
Technical honesty starts with the limits. We are not an alarm receiving centre (ARC) and provide no guarding, patrol or physical response, and we do not guarantee the intervention of the security forces: the systems we install are not connected to a central station, and the alert, with an image, reaches you directly. No compulsory fee.
Nor do we promise that nothing can ever get in. No system is infallible. What a good perimeter does is detect earlier, verify with an image and give you time and evidence to act — alert, light up, record — while the intruder is still at the fence and not in the living room.
We work only with private homes — villas, chalets and fincas in your area — because it is what we do well. We would rather tell you what a system does not cover before installing it than after.
The process
From the visit to a fixed quote
On-site technical visit
We walk the plot with you: boundaries, access points, blind spots, vegetation and where an intruder would actually come from. Without this visit there is no serious quote, because every plot in your area has its own geometry.
Shadow and sight-line map
We mark where radar covers the open volume, where a hedge or wall casts a shadow, and which critical planes — glass facade, gate, low wall — call for a LiDAR curtain.
Layered design
We choose which layer solves each stretch: radar for the garden, LiDAR for the fine plane, thermal for the long unlit line, AI to decide. Neither too much nor too little.
Fixed quote
You get a fixed written price, with the specific equipment and the reason for it. What you see is what you pay; no surprises halfway through.
Install, test and handover
We mount, configure and test detection with real walk-throughs. We hand the system over working, explained and documented in your language.
Radar
Why the radar shadow is measured on the ground
Perimeter radar covers thousands of square metres from a single unit and is unaffected by rain, shadow or vegetation, because it measures movement in a volume, not an image. But that volume is not a perfect semicircle on a flat plane: a dense hedge, a low wall, the slope of the plot or a parked vehicle each cast a shadow where the radar cannot see.
That is why setting-out in your area is not done on a cadastral drawing but by walking the plot. We mount the unit at the right height — around 3.5 m — and check with real walk-throughs where coverage begins and ends, where two objects closer than three metres merge into one, and which stretches need a second layer. That shadow map is what separates a system that truly warns from one that leaves a blind corridor along the wall.
The radar also classifies person, vehicle and unknown object, and filters small objects — a cat, a rabbit — and things that sway in the wind, such as a branch. That is the first sieve before the image confirms.
Thermal
Seeing at night without a single light on
A thermal camera sees no colour and no detail: it sees heat. A human body stands out against cold ground even with no street lamp, which is why it is the most reliable layer for long sight lines and unlit fincas, where an ordinary camera would see only black.
In practice, on a person of average height, thermal detects presence at tens of metres, recognises a human figure at mid-range and identifies in detail closer in — the classic detect/recognise/identify pattern. On a long your area perimeter that means knowing someone has entered the line well before they reach the house, without depending on any light being on.
It does not replace the AI that decides or the radar that covers volume: it combines with them. Thermal puts eyes where there is no light; the AI says whether that heat is a person, a wild boar or a car's hot engine.
Autonomy
A system that doesn't fall when the network does
Many modern systems depend on the cloud for the essentials: lose the internet and they stop detecting. On a your area finca or villa, where power and network cuts are part of life, that is a design fault.
That is why the critical chain we install is local: detection, logic and siren live in the house itself and keep working without internet. The cloud is there to alert you and to let you see the image, not to decide. A power backup keeps the system up through outages, and the alert to your phone uses the mobile network, with a second path when the fixed line fails.
The result is a system that protects the same on the day everything works and the day the power, the fibre or both go down. Deterrence cannot depend on the router being on.
The visit first, the quote after
We don't give prices over the phone without seeing the property — that would be making them up.
