CCTV and electrical maintenance for residential complexes in Bogotá
We work with residential complexes, owners' associations and developments: from the design and the substation through to CCTV and access control. With the property manager as our counterpart.
In an owners' association, the technical problem is also a general-meeting problem
The manager of a residential complex knows the substation needs maintenance, that the cameras have not covered half the common areas for years, and that the access system only half works. The obstacle is rarely technical: it is that each of those jobs has to be justified before a board or a general meeting, with comparable quotes and an explanation someone who is not an engineer can follow.
That is why in this setting how the work is presented matters as much as how it is carried out. A clear proposal covering what will be done, in what order, how long it takes and what happens if it is not done saves months of debate. And once approved, the execution has demands of its own: you work with residents at home, car parks in use, and hours set by the association.
What the regulations require in common areas
The common areas of a residential complex are shared-use installations, and that brings obligations sometimes only discovered when the insurer asks for paperwork.
- RETIE certification for the common-area installations.
- Maintenance of the association's substation, with documented records.
- Grounding measurements in common areas and plant rooms.
- Emergency lighting and escape signage in working order.
- NTC 2050 compliance in panels, protection devices and conduit.
- Proper handling of video surveillance footage and notice of it to residents.
What we do in complexes and developments
We handle both new build, working with the developer, and occupied complexes that need to upgrade or extend. In the second case we usually start with the CCTV or the substation maintenance, the two needs a general meeting approves fastest.
- Electrical design and utility permitting for new build.
- Installation and maintenance of the association's substations.
- Electrical installations in common areas and amenity spaces.
- Turnkey CCTV: design, supply, installation and commissioning.
- Pedestrian and vehicle access control.
- Common-area, exterior and architectural lighting.
- Grounding measurements and remedial work for certification.
- Technical proposals written to be presented to a board or general meeting.
A turnkey CCTV system for a residential complex
Design, supply, installation and commissioning of the complex's closed-circuit television system. Turnkey means the association approved a single proposal and received a working system, without having to coordinate between a designer, an equipment supplier and an installer.
