Video surveillance
Advantages of video surveillance
24/7 sense of security anywhere
You can keep an eye on your building or premises remotely day or night.
Precise and specific
Video surveillance is considerably more precise when identifying the reason for an alarm than regular technical surveillance due to its video feed capabilities.
An excellent alternative or addition to manned guard
Modern video surveillance is a great alternative to manned guard, ensuring a sense of security and a great view of the comings and goings on the site. Video surveillance as an added service to manned guard improves the capabilities of a security operative in guarding the location.
Extremely flexible
We offer various video surveillance services, allowing you to select the best fit for you. You can monitor your premises independently or have us do it. You can decide the conditions that activate the system, etc.
More than surveillance
Video surveillance solutions offer almost limitless interfacing options with other systems in use on the premises or the territory, providing you with an efficient and highly convenient solution for controlling the entire building or location remotely.

Forus designs, installs and maintains video surveillance systems for companies and sites of different sizes. The solution may include cameras, recording, remote monitoring, video analytics and integration with other security and building systems. The most suitable solution is selected based on the size, use and risks of the site.
Modern video surveillance solutions make it possible to monitor a site all year round and around the clock. In addition to security purposes, an analytical video system can be used, for example, as an access solution, for monitoring production processes, for vehicle number plate recognition and for other purposes.
For more complex sites, standard video surveillance can be enhanced with AI-based video analytics, which uses deep learning models to automatically detect objects and events in the video image.
Video surveillance helps reduce the need for constant manual monitoring. When needed, events can be quickly found from recordings without having to review hours of video material. The system brings together the necessary footage based on predefined parameters. Combined with thermal cameras, video surveillance also works in very low light or complete darkness.
Surveillance cameras – the best devices along with installation from Forus
We have decades of experience in designing and installing video surveillance systems. We will map your needs, inspect the location, and prepare a quote based on your requirements and budget. We work with the most common video surveillance systems, both in terms of hardware and software, such as Avigilon, Hikvision, Dahua, Milestone, etc.
In 2014, we became the official Premium partner of Motorola Solutions in Estonia. We have installed Avigilon systems for hundreds of clients, offering them extremely convenient modern solutions that allow for a wide variety of integrations with other systems in use on location.

A wide selection of interfacing options – add remote control options to your premises
By adding cameras to your classical technical surveillance system, you can quickly identify the location where an alarm has originated, and often, its reason. This reduces the number of unwarranted patrol unit dispatches considerably so the number of unnecessary notifications sent to contact persons outside working hours is also lower.
You can install cameras by the exits to monitor traffic. You can use to the cameras to configure the system to trigger an alarm in case of specific events or according to set rules. This way, video feed switches automatically to the correct area in case of an alarm. For example, the system could refuse to open the next door of a gateway if more people want to enter than allowed. This configuration ensures better security and access control of entryways.
Video feed and the remote control of an automatic fire alarm system (AFAS) help identify the source of an alarm sent by the AFAS and the camera feed allows to check the situation to identify the reason if possible. This way, it is possible to respond quickly to potential threats, assess the seriousness of the threat, and send required assistance to the location if necessary. It also helps avoid unnecessary dispatches due to false alarms because the reasons for the alarm can be analysed quickly and accurately.
Connect your video door phone or add a camera to a door phone without video capability so you can control access to the premises remotely. Video feed allows to keep an eye on people wanting to enter the premises in real time. With a push of a button, you can open the gate, a door or another barrier, allowing controlled and safe access.
Integrate cameras with indoor climate sensors and building automation to create a smart and automated management system. This system allows to control lights, heat, ventilation, and cooling in a smart way for significant energy savings. Smart integration ensures optimal indoor climate according to external conditions while improving the energy efficiency of a building and cutting costs.
Count visitors, identify vehicles and their license plates, monitor the purchasing trajectories of customers or analyse production processes. Modern technology and data analysis offer almost limitless possibilities, enabling you to optimise your business or operations and make data-based decisions to increase efficiency and profits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose a video surveillance system for a company?
When choosing a video surveillance system, it is worth starting with what the company wants to monitor or prevent with the help of cameras. It is important to consider which areas the system needs to cover, what details must be identifiable from the camera image, whether video analytics are needed, and where and for how long recordings will be stored. Based on this, suitable cameras, a recording solution and other necessary equipment can be selected. Forus specialists map the company’s needs, inspect the site and prepare a suitable solution accordingly.
How much does video surveillance installation cost?
The cost of installing video surveillance depends on the size and specifics of the site, the number and functions of the cameras, the required image quality, video analytics, the recording solution, cabling, and whether the video surveillance system will be integrated with other systems. Therefore, the price is calculated separately for each site. An accurate quote can be prepared after mapping the needs and the site’s existing infrastructure.
Who installs video surveillance systems?
A video surveillance system should be installed by specialists who can assess the most suitable camera locations and viewing angles, as well as the network, recording and analytics solution. It is also important to consider who will later maintain the system, update the software and check that it is working reliably. Forus has its own team of technicians and experience in installing and maintaining video surveillance systems of different sizes and levels of complexity.
Can existing cameras be connected to a new system?
In many cases, existing cameras can continue to be used in a new video surveillance solution, but this depends on the device manufacturer, age, technical capabilities and compatibility with the selected system. Therefore, existing cameras and other infrastructure should be reviewed before planning a new solution. If needed, devices from different manufacturers can be brought together on one video surveillance platform.
