Security that fits a working office
What we cover in an office
The one point every visitor, vendor and courier passes through. Coverage here answers who entered, when, and who signed them in — the question you get asked first.
Lift lobbies, corridors, breakout areas and fire exits. Positioned for a clear face capture at choke points rather than a wide shot of desks nobody reviews.
Vehicle entry, stilt and basement levels, where lighting is poor and incidents are hardest to reconstruct after the fact.
Who opened the rack, and when. A camera on the server-room door is often the shortest answer to a client's IT security questionnaire.
Rough coverage estimate
Enter an area to see an estimate.
Rough planning estimate only — actual coverage depends on layout, docks, and blind spots. A site assessment gives you the real number.
An office is not a warehouse with carpet. The people in it expect a degree of privacy, reception is a front door and a waiting room at the same time, and nobody wants a bulky housing bolted to a feature wall. The questions are different too: who is in the building right now, who signed them in, and can you produce a dependable record three months later when somebody asks for one.
Why offices choose Logikdesk
Four things, none of them about cameras. The design is written down before anything is installed — coverage map, bandwidth and storage calculations, BOQ — so your IT and facilities leads can review it rather than take it on trust. Hardware is verified STQC-certified before order, and where a parent company or client contract restricts equipment origin, the shortlist accounts for that at design stage instead of during an audit. Retention and access are decided on purpose and handed over in writing. And the install is planned around a floor that people are working on.
Network and access-system integration
Camera traffic belongs on its own VLAN, off the network your business runs on. Bandwidth and storage are calculated from the actual camera count, resolution and retention period, not estimated — an office with 40 cameras and a 60-day retention policy is a storage decision before it is a security one.
Where your existing access control exposes an integration — most enterprise card and biometric systems do — door events can be tied to camera events, so a badge-in at reception has footage attached to it. Where a system doesn't support that, we say so during the assessment rather than after the invoice. The same applies to server-room and MDF doors, where the access log and the camera together answer a question neither answers alone.
Cabling during a live fit-out
Cat6, Cat6A and fibre runs, dressed into existing containment where it exists, labelled at both ends, and tested with the reports included in your handover file. Cabling is the part of the system your next contractor inherits, and in an office it is also the part most likely to be disturbed by a churn or a re-partition two years from now — which is why labelling and as-built documentation matter more here than almost anywhere else.
Fit-out and renovation windows are the cheapest time to do this properly. On an occupied floor the work is phased, scheduled around your hours, and cleaned down at the end of each session.
Compliance your IT and legal teams can sign off
Client security questionnaires and audits increasingly ask offices the same things: what is recorded, how long it is kept, who can view it, and where that is written. Those have answers here — see STQC and the essential requirements for what certified hardware actually means, the DPDP Act and CCTV footage for retention and access practice, and NDAA and supply-chain security if your parent company or a customer contract restricts equipment origin — a common position for GCCs and IT offices in Gurgaon.
There is one more reason offices ask for this, and it deserves stating plainly rather than being left implied. When an internal complaint is raised — a workplace safety concern, a harassment complaint, a dispute over what happened in a corridor or a car park — the organisation is expected to establish facts fairly, and often has a committee obliged to do so. Whether footage exists at that moment is decided months earlier, by where cameras were placed and how long recordings are kept. It is a retention and access-control decision made at design stage, not something that can be arranged after an incident. We will raise it during the assessment; how your policy handles it is yours and your legal team's to set.
If you already have a system and none of this is documented for it, our security audit is where that starts.
Scheduled around a working office
Survey first: we walk the floors, take the drawings, and note the constraints — ceiling type, containment, existing access control, the reception layout, the hours you can and cannot work in. Design comes back in writing, with the coverage map and the numbers behind it, for your review before procurement.
Installation runs to a method statement agreed with your facilities team: phased by floor, out of hours where a floor is occupied, with dust sheets and a clean-down each session. Handover is a file, not a verbal walkthrough — test reports, STQC certificates, the retention policy, and credentials transferred securely. After that, an AMC with scheduled preventive visits keeps it working, because a camera nobody checks is a camera nobody can rely on.
- Dedicated VLAN
- Cat6A-tested
- STQC-verified
- DPDP-aligned retention

Frequently asked questions
Will the cameras be visible to staff and visitors?
Yes, deliberately. Discreet means chosen to suit the interior — smaller domes, colour-matched, run in existing containment — not concealed. Visible cameras plus clear signage is both standard practice and what a transparency expectation looks like in an office.
Can you install without disrupting a working floor?
Yes. Occupied floors are done in phases, usually after hours or over a weekend, against a method statement agreed with your facilities team before anyone mobilises. During a fit-out we prefer to be in before the ceiling closes.
Can footage be kept off our corporate network?
It should be. Camera traffic runs on a dedicated VLAN or physically separate switching, and your IT head reviews the design before installation rather than discovering it afterwards.
