The camera read the car's plate. No one looked for the remote, no one honked.
Smart cameras
Cameras That Warn You Before It Becomes a Loss.
Recording is the minimum. A well-chosen, well-placed camera recognizes what matters, alerts you right away and helps you find a moment in seconds.
In a few words
Smart cameras are security cameras that analyze their own image: they tell apart a person, a vehicle and an animal, read license plates, recognize authorized faces and alert you when something departs from what was agreed. ARX designs, installs and maintains these systems, from a home gate to the yard of a distribution center.

In your day
You use it every day and almost never notice.
When the camera is right, you don't think about it. You only remember it exists on the day you need the footage.
The forgotten bag shows up in a minute.
Instead of watching the whole morning, the manager filters by person, clothing color and time.
The alert arrives only when it should.
The camera tells a person from a cat, a headlight and a shadow. Fewer alerts, alerts that count.
Someone jumps the back wall.
The camera recognizes it, triggers the alert and you see it right away.
When it fails
That's when everyone notices.
The three problems we find most often, where they come from and how we avoid them.
There is a camera, but you can't see the face.
Where it comes fromThe camera was chosen for its price and installed where it was easiest to run the cable: too high, too far or against the light.
How ARX avoids itEach camera is born with a written objective: to notice that someone passed, to recognize a known person or to identify an unknown one. The objective defines the lens, height and position.
The recording from the day that mattered doesn't exist.
Where it comes fromThe disk filled up, the camera went down or the recorder froze, and no one found out.
How ARX avoids itWe calculate the space for the days you need to keep and leave the system alerting you when a camera stops or a disk fails.
The phone buzzes all day and no one looks anymore.
Where it comes fromOrdinary motion detection triggers with rain, headlights and leaves.
How ARX avoids itWe use cameras that tell people and vehicles apart and draw the alert areas together with you.
How ARX does it
Simple for you. Rigorous on the inside.
We understand what you need to see
A conversation and a visit. You don't need to know the model or the megapixels: you say what you want to see and how long you want to keep it.
You receive: the objective of each point, in writing.
We position before installing
The height, angle and lens of each camera are decided in the design, considering daylight, nighttime light and backlight.
You receive: where each camera goes and what it covers.
We install on a secure network
Cameras on a separate network, with their own passwords and protected remote access. A camera with a factory password is an open door.
You receive: the access credentials, delivered to you securely.
We test by day and by night
We check with you the image from each camera at both times, the recording and the alerts.
You receive: the system working and someone to look after it afterward.
Equipment
What goes into your project.
Examples of what we install. The final choice depends on your space and your budget.
For facades, courtyards and garages. Sees far, day and night.
Discreet, for reception, hallways and covered entrances.
Two views from a single mounting point: covers more area with less cabling.
Pans, zooms and follows movement in large areas.
Reads the vehicle's plate at the entrance and records or approves the passage.
Color image at night too, with person and vehicle detection.
One lens sees the whole scene and the other zooms in on the detail, at the same time.
Gives the cameras the ability to recognize, summarize and find a moment by description.
Cameras, recording and video intelligence.Brands
The right brand is the one that fits your project and your budget.
UbiquitiWhen you want network, cameras and doors in the same family, in a single dashboard and with no per-camera license.
HikvisionWhen the project calls for variety: from the simple camera to the panoramic one with zoom and plate reading.
AxisWhen the requirement is high for digital security and the service life needs to be long.
IntelbrasWhen the budget is tighter and local support in Brazil weighs in the decision.
DigifortWhen cameras of different brands need to appear together in one operations center.
What hardly anyone tells you
Before asking for a quote, it's worth knowing.
Megapixels are not what decides.
What decides is how much of the image falls on the face or the plate at the real distance. A 4-megapixel camera in the right place sees better than an 8-megapixel one in the wrong place.
A camera is also a computer on your network.
With a factory password or without updates, it becomes the easiest way in for anyone who wants to break in. That is why we treat a camera as part of the network, not as an accessory.
Keeping footage has rules.
An image of a person is personal data. You need to give notice that there are cameras and define how long footage is kept and who can see it. Facial recognition calls for greater care and always an alternative for those who prefer not to use it.
Questions and answers
How long are the recordings kept?
The time is set in the project, according to your needs. Keeping 15 to 30 days is common. The more days and cameras, the more disk space: that is why the calculation is done before purchase.
Can I view the cameras on my phone?
Yes. Access is through the manufacturer's app, over a protected connection. We set up the users and what each one can see.
Does the camera need internet to record?
No. Recording is stored on the recorder or server at the site itself. The internet is used to view remotely and to receive alerts.
Is facial recognition allowed?
It is allowed, with care. Under LGPD (Brazil's data protection law), a face is sensitive personal data. You need a clear purpose, you must inform people, protect the registry, and offer another way in for anyone who prefers not to use their face.
Can I reuse the cameras I already have?
Often, yes. During the visit we assess what can stay, what needs adjusting and what is worth replacing. Replacing everything is rarely necessary.
Does ARX install in any city?
Installation is done in the State of São Paulo: the capital, the interior and the coast. Design, consulting and retrofit design cover all of Brazil.
