Data Centres, CCTV and Building Management Systems in Pakistan

Modern institutions run on networks, cameras and automated buildings. Sound Krafted’s ICT team designs, supplies, installs and commissions server rooms and small data centres, IP CCTV and access control, structured cabling and building management systems (BMS) for government offices, defence and security sites, universities, broadcasters and corporate buildings across Pakistan.

We are a Lahore-based independent system integrator. We work with any brand of camera, network switch, rack or controller and design the system around your site, security needs and procurement rules.

Server rooms and data centres

• Racks and containment: server and network racks, cold or hot aisle containment, cable trays and labelling.
• Power: UPS systems, power distribution, earthing and generator integration.
• Cooling: precision or comfort cooling matched to the heat load.
• Monitoring: temperature, humidity, water leak, power and door sensors with alerts.
• Fire safety and access: fire detection and suppression integration and controlled entry.
• Servers, storage and networking: switches, firewalls, Wi-Fi, servers and NAS from brands such as Cisco, Huawei, HPE Aruba, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Synology, APC and Eaton.

CCTV and security

1. IP CCTV systems with fixed, dome, bullet and PTZ cameras, recorders (NVR) and video management software.
2. Video walls and monitoring rooms for live viewing (see our control room page).
3. Access control with cards, biometrics and turnstiles.
4. Time attendance for staff and visitors.
5. Intercom and visitor management.
6. Perimeter and outdoor coverage for campuses, compounds and industrial sites.

We work with brands such as Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Hanwha Vision, Uniview, Milesight and ZKTeco, and choose the camera for the scene: lighting, distance, weather and the detail you need to capture.

Building management systems (BMS)

• HVAC control and scheduling to cut energy use.
• Lighting control with schedules, occupancy sensors and scenes.
• Energy metering and dashboards.
• Integration of fire alarm, access control, CCTV and lifts into one view.
• Studio and hall automation, such as switching off noisy air conditioning when an “on air” light is lit, or recalling hall scenes for lights, curtains and screens.

Structured cabling

Copper and fibre cabling, patch panels, cable management, testing and certification reports, designed so the building’s network, CCTV, AV and BMS all run on a tidy, documented backbone.

How we deliver ICT projects

Survey and requirement study

We walk the site, review drawings, and agree what must be protected, monitored, connected or automated.

Design and BOQ

Camera positions and coverage plans, network diagrams, rack layouts, power and cooling calculations, and a BOQ in tender format if required.

Installation

Cabling, racks, devices and software installed by our team, with labelling throughout.

Testing and commissioning

Every camera, link and sensor tested; recording, alerts and remote access configured; documentation handed over.

Training and support

Operator and administrator training, plus after-sales support and maintenance options.

One backbone for the whole building

Many buildings end up with separate cabling and racks for CCTV, network, AV and building systems, installed by different contractors at different times. The result is clutter, faults that are hard to trace and higher costs.

We design ICT as one backbone:

• Shared structured cabling with labelled patch panels for data, CCTV, Wi-Fi, AV-over-IP and BMS.
• Central racks and power in a properly cooled server room.
• Network segmentation so CCTV and building systems are separated from office traffic.
• Central monitoring of cameras, alarms and building services from one control point.
• Documentation so your IT team knows exactly where everything is.

This approach is especially useful for new buildings, campus upgrades and institutions consolidating several systems.

For institutions with existing systems, we start with an audit: what is installed, what works, what is out of support and where the risks are. You then receive a phased upgrade plan, so the budget is spent on the most urgent improvements first.

Cost of CCTV, data centre and BMS projects

Cost depends on the number of cameras, storage period, rack and power requirements, cooling, and how many building systems are automated. Share your site plan, camera count or tender BOQ and we will propose options.

Frequently asked questions

Do you install CCTV for large campuses and government buildings?

Yes. We design and install IP CCTV with recorders, video management and monitoring rooms for campuses, offices and secure sites.

Can you set up a server room in an existing office?

Yes. We survey the space, then design racks, power, UPS, cooling, cabling and monitoring to suit the equipment you need to house.

What is a building management system (BMS)?

A BMS monitors and controls building services such as air conditioning, lighting and energy use from one system, often saving energy and simplifying operations.

Which CCTV brands do you work with?

Any brand your project needs, including Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Hanwha Vision, Uniview and Milesight. We are brand-neutral and choose what fits the site.

Can you prepare a BOQ for a CCTV or data centre tender?

Yes. We prepare coverage plans, network designs and BOQs suitable for government and corporate tenders.
