When NOT to hire us
- If you're looking for armed guards or watchmen: we install technology, we don't provide security guard services.
- If you expect cameras alone to prevent every theft: they deter and produce evidence, but work best together with good access control, lighting and procedures.
- If you only want the cheapest gear without warranty: generic cameras fail and lose footage right when you need it most.

“Before we relied on Excel and WhatsApp, with 5 vendors who didn't talk to each other. SimCodec unified our ERP system, connected security cameras to our network and now we have local 24/7 support in Quito. The time saved is massive.”
“We hired SimCodec to overhaul our campus structured cabling. Their work is incredibly tidy, they delivered every point certified and within the original budget. It's great dealing directly with the partners without going through call centers.”

What is AI video surveillance?
It's CCTV that also analyzes video in real time: it detects people, counts visitors, builds heatmaps and alerts you to events. That way you don't have to watch the screens all day to react in time.
How long does the camera installation take?
It varies with the number of cameras and the cabling required. Small setups often take just a few days; we hand you a realistic timeline before we start.
Do you offer warranty and support after installation?
Yes. We hand over a working, documented system, with an installation warranty and local technical support in Quito whenever you need it.
