Before requesting a proposal
Questions before installing cameras.
How much does security-camera installation cost in Panama?
It depends on the number and type of scenes, cable distance and materials, height, network, power, recording, retention, remote access, building work and testing. We quote after defining coverage and conditions, separating equipment, installation and recurring services.
How many cameras does my business need?
The quantity follows the events and zones that must be observed. One wide-angle camera may show context without enough detail; several badly placed cameras will not fix a dark scene or a critical point outside the frame.
How many days are recorded?
It depends on capacity, cameras, resolution, compression, frame rate, continuous or event recording and scene activity. We calculate an expectation and verify it in operation; retention should also serve a legitimate purpose.
Can I view cameras from my phone?
Yes, where the platform and scope allow it. Remote access should use individual accounts, available strong authentication, updates and a route that avoids directly exposing cameras or the recorder.
Do security cameras need internet?
Not necessarily for local recording, but internet is required for some alerts, cloud services or remote access. The local network, power and storage remain critical when the internet link fails.
Which privacy responsibilities apply in Panama?
Images may be personal data. Panama’s ANTAI states that surveillance should follow lawfulness, purpose, proportionality, data security, transparency and confidentiality under Law 81 of 2019 and its regulation. The responsible organization should define purpose, access, retention, notices and rights procedures for its circumstances; this is not legal advice.
