CIP by CtrlAtlas Inc. / Division 28
Commercial Security Cameras & CCTV
CIP installs video surveillance infrastructure for entrances, commercial spaces, industrial sites and property operations. Camera locations, recording requirements and network interfaces are reviewed with the project team.

- IP camera installation and related cabling
- NVR and recording infrastructure integration
- Coverage and sightline coordination
- Agreed recording, access and commissioning checks
What to include in your package
Provide camera schedules, proposed locations, retention requirements, network design and access restrictions. Monitoring services, privacy obligations and specialist integrations must be agreed explicitly.
For new construction, renovations, expansions and technology upgrades across Southern Ontario. Scope and availability are confirmed before a bid is accepted.
How it works
Modern commercial systems are almost always IP-based and PoE-powered, meaning each camera draws power and sends video over a single network cable back to an NVR or recording platform — which lets camera cabling share the same structured-cabling pathway as data and Wi-Fi. Older analog or coax-based systems can often be upgraded to IP incrementally rather than replaced all at once. Camera placement is reviewed for coverage, sightlines and lighting across entrances, warehouse floors, retail aisles and parking areas, and recording retention, user access and network interfaces are confirmed before installation so the finished system matches what the property actually needs to monitor.
Where this applies
- Warehouses and industrial sites
- Retail stores and shopping plazas
- Restaurants and hospitality locations
- Offices and multi-tenant commercial property
- Multi-site and portfolio-wide deployments
How does CCTV relate to Division 28?
Video surveillance is commonly specified within Division 28 Electronic Safety and Security. CIP supports its applicable camera and recording infrastructure scope, not every system covered by the division.

Can security cameras run on the existing network?
Yes, in most cases. IP cameras typically share the same structured-cabling and network infrastructure as computers and Wi-Fi access points, subject to a review of available capacity.
Are commercial cameras PoE-powered?
Most modern IP cameras are PoE, drawing power from the same cable that carries their video signal back to the switch and NVR, which simplifies installation.
Can an older analog or coax system be upgraded?
Yes. Many sites transition to IP cameras in phases, replacing analog cameras and cabling as budget and priorities allow rather than all at once.
Can cameras integrate with access control?
Yes. Camera and access-control systems are commonly integrated so events like door activity can be tied to recorded video, depending on the platforms involved.
Does CIP install warehouse and industrial surveillance?
Yes. Warehouse and industrial sites are reviewed for coverage across entrances, yards, loading areas and the building floor.
What infrastructure does a camera system typically require?
Camera cabling (usually network cable for IP/PoE systems), a PoE switch, and an NVR or recording platform with enough storage for the required retention period.
Do you support multi-site or portfolio-wide camera deployments?
Yes. Multi-site businesses and property portfolios are supported with a consistent camera and recording standard across locations.
