Retrofit Your Existing Security. Layer AI on Top.

Which parts of an existing security system can be reused? Start with the camera models, recorder, door hardware and cabling already on site. PGC checks compatibility and tests the intended video or access event before recommending which components to keep. The three scenarios below illustrate that process.

HOW PROPERTY OWNERS USE PGC

Three Use Cases. One Retrofit Approach.

Most DFW properties already have cameras, readers, and an alarm panel. The question is whether those systems produce footage, credential logs, and documentation owners can use. Each scenario below is illustrative and is not a client result.

Multifamily Communities

Situation: Legacy proximity cards and an older DVR. Staff spend hours pulling footage, and the insurance renewal packet has little access-control or retention documentation.

  • Keep NDAA-compliant cameras that perform; add AI analytics on supported platforms.
  • Search footage in plain language across leasing office, parking, package room, and pool.
  • Plan the move to mobile or encrypted credentials door by door, starting with the highest-traffic doors.
  • Deliver an insurance-review documentation package for renewal.

Scope: common areas and commercial spaces. Private residential units are not part of standard scope.

Self-Storage Facilities

Situation: Gate access and cameras across several sites with little after-hours visibility. Tenant disputes over unclear footage are hard to resolve.

  • Add AI behavior detection to existing perimeter cameras, with after-hours alerts.
  • Set retention and audit-log practices so incidents can be documented for tenant claims and insurance review.
  • Manage multiple sites from one cloud view.

Commercial Offices & Light Industrial

Situation: Cameras from different eras, a badge system that is hard to audit, and loading-dock doors propped open during shifts.

  • Map coverage and add cameras only in dark zones.
  • Integrate door hardware so badge events and door-held alarms appear in one place.
  • Upgrade cabling where runs are below spec, to BICSI-aligned practices.

WHAT PGC RETROFITS + INTEGRATES

One Layer, Built on What Already Works

Digital door access

  • AI video search: natural-language search for security events, vehicle incidents, package claims, and amenity misuse.
  • After-hours behavior detection: loitering and tailgating alerts on supported platforms.
  • Access control: mobile and encrypted credentials, cloud audit logs, rapid credential revocation on supported platforms.
  • Structured cabling: Cat6, Cat6A, and fiber to BICSI-aligned practices.
  • Project delivery: PMP-led, client project portal, device schedules, milestone tracking, closeout package, post-install training.

Facility access control

Scenarios on this page are illustrative only and are not client results. Imagery shows representative scope; platform UI is illustrative. PGC provides insurance-review documentation packages and platform-supported audit trails, but does not warrant carrier acceptance, premium credits, or underwriting outcomes. Actual results depend on site conditions, current systems, carrier underwriting, and selected service model. Advanced video analytics are deployed only by written property policy and in line with Texas Business & Commerce Code Chapter 503.
