Frequently asked questions

Yes. We troubleshoot, repair and expand commercial systems, including mixed-brand sites and unfinished installations. Before we quote, we look at the existing panels, readers, cabling, software and licensing on site to see what can be reused, repaired or tied in.

Use the quote form or call us. A few lines about the building and what you need is enough; drawings can follow by email. Our team will contact you to review your drawings or schedule an on-site walk-through before finalizing your quote. Request a quote

Yes. We price labour-only on equipment you supply, or turnkey labour and materials. We match testing, labels and closeout records to your division spec and subcontract scope, including cable certification files, redline as-builts and switch or port schedules where specified. For contractors

We test and label the work in our scope, show your team how to use it, and hand over the agreed records: cable test reports, as-builts and port schedules where they’re part of the job. After handover, our team remains available to service, repair and expand the system as your building changes.

Commercial, industrial, institutional and multi-residential buildings: warehouses and logistics yards, offices, retail, automotive dealerships, healthcare logistics facilities, and condominium or apartment buildings. Industries

Our team supplies, installs, programs, expands and services Mercury, Avigilon, Axis, LenelS2, ICT Protege, Brivo, HID, DSC, Aiphone, Genetec, Hanwha Vision, Bosch.

MNB Security has been in business since 2020. The MNB team plans, installs and services commercial security systems, from the site review through testing and handover. About

Usually, if the recorder or VMS supports them and there are licences available. Before we quote, we look at the existing panels, readers, cabling, software and licensing on site to see what can be reused, repaired or tied in.

With on-site recording (an NVR, or storage in the camera), cameras keep recording through an internet outage as long as they and the network have power. A UPS buys limited time in a power cut, and remote viewing may drop out until the internet is back.

A PTZ only looks one way at a time. A multi-sensor camera records its whole 180° to 360° view all the time, from one housing on one cable, with no motor to wear out.

Yes. In multi-residential and office buildings we run EMT conduit up the stairwells and put a vandal-resistant dome on each landing, each one home-run back to the recorder.

With compatible equipment and an approved door design, the intercom and access system can release the same lock. We check the hardware, the release interface and the exit requirements first.

Answering on a phone or computer, and releasing the door from the same system, depends on the intercom, door hardware, network and licensing. We confirm how answering and release will work before we quote.

No. We cable the security systems, and also desks, access points and the rest of the building network, often while the ceiling is already open for the security work.

We certify the permanent links in the testing scope on a calibrated certifier. The quote lists the test files, as-builts and port records you’ll get at handover.
