For over 20 years, Platinum CCTV has been a leading provider of professional video surveillance and access control solutions in Ottawa, trusted by homeowners and businesses that demand more than off-the-shelf security systems. We design and install custom security camera systems tailored to your property, operational needs, and budget, because effective security should never be one size fits all.
While we’re not the cheapest option on the market, we’ve seen the results of cut-rate surveillance systems, and they rarely meet real-world security demands. Instead, we prioritize long-term reliability, system performance, and peace of mind. By using premium-grade cameras, advanced access control technology, and certified security professionals, we deliver high-definition video clarity and dependable system operation you can trust.
Our pricing reflects a focus on lasting value, scalable security, and expert craftsmanship, not shortcuts. With cutting-edge technology and a highly trained team, Platinum CCTV provides future-ready surveillance and access control solutions designed to protect what matters most, today and well into the future.
What makes our camera systems the best?
#1 Our Technology is the best!
While remote access is now a standard feature in many security systems, very few providers treat it as a core priority. At Platinum CCTV, remote video surveillance has been central to our systems since the earliest days of internet-connected cameras, long before mobile access became an industry standard. That long standing focus has set us apart. Our AVM NVR surveillance systems are engineered for fast, seamless remote viewing, delivering smooth, real-time video streaming from anywhere in the world. No lag. No freezing. No unreliable connections, just dependable access when you need it most.
The difference is instantly noticeable when you compare our mobile app to others. True remote security isn’t about simply offering an app, it’s about powerful hardware and intelligent software working together flawlessly. In high-stakes moments, that level of performance isn’t optional, it’s essential. With Platinum CCTV, you get high-speed, reliable remote access built for modern security demands. Because when it comes to protecting your property, second-rate technology is never good enough.

Find your video fast
With many video surveillance systems, locating the exact footage you need is slow and frustrating, held back by outdated software and underpowered hardware. At Platinum CCTV, we’ve been eliminating those limitations for over 20 years. Our AVM NVR video surveillance systems are engineered for speed, efficiency, and ease of use, allowing you to search through days, weeks, or even months of recorded video in seconds. Whether you’re on-site or accessing your system remotely, you get instant results without wasted time.
Today’s security cameras do more than protect, they provide valuable insight. Our clients use their advanced surveillance systems to monitor daily operations, improve efficiency, and make smarter business decisions, turning video into a powerful management tool. At Platinum CCTV, we design intelligent, future-ready surveillance solutions that work around your needs, not the other way around. This forward-thinking approach is why we’ve remained an industry leader in professional video surveillance from day one.
When video is easy to find, that video is useful
The Best Quality Video
At Platinum CCTV, we don’t just provide video surveillance, we deliver visible performance. Our AVM NVR recording systems produce dramatically higher video quality than standard NVRs and DVRs, even when paired with the exact same cameras. The reason is simple: true image clarity isn’t just about resolution—it’s about processing power and bitrate control.
Most recorders on the market are already obsolete the moment they’re installed. These outdated, standalone NVRs and DVRs resemble old DVD players for a reason, they rely on limited processors, poor thermal design, and minimal resources. The result is familiar: blurry footage, blocky images, and loss of detail whenever motion occurs.
Our AVM NVRs are built on enterprise-grade architecture, featuring modern Intel processors, expanded memory, and advanced video optimization software. With tens of thousands of times more processing capability than legacy systems, they maintain sharp, fluid, high-bitrate video even during fast movement and high-activity scenes. While many security providers focus on headline specs like resolution, Platinum CCTV focuses on what actually preserves evidence—bitrate and performance. That’s how we ensure clean, detailed, court-ready video when it matters most.
Our AVM System can record at the full bitrate, framerate, color depth and resolution provided by the cameras, giving you better quality without even upgrading your cameras
Find Vehicles and People Quickly
Our clients consistently praise the speed, many describe it as lightning-fast video search. Powered by our industry leading AVM recording platform and CMS4 video management software, you can instantly scan through days or even weeks of recorded footage to locate people or vehicles within specific zones, all in seconds. When paired with our next-generation HD IP security cameras with built-in A.I., the system delivers an unmatched level of control, accuracy, and efficiency. This isn’t basic motion detection—it’s intelligent video surveillance designed for real-world security demands.
Our AI-powered cameras and AVM NVR systems precisely distinguish between irrelevant motion and true human or vehicle activity, dramatically reducing false alerts. Add VCA (Video Content Analysis), and the system becomes even more powerful. Every motion event is captured while simultaneously building a smart, searchable database of people and vehicle activity, giving you instant forensic search, intelligent alerts, and faster response times. With Platinum CCTV, video surveillance becomes proactive, precise, and powerful, turning recorded video into actionable intelligence.
Our NVRs deliver, where others give only empty promises
Find Vehicles Instantly based on License plate
Our advanced License Plate Recognition (LPR / ANPR) cameras are quickly becoming a client favorite, and for good reason. Fully integrated with our AVM NVR video surveillance platform, these high-performance cameras accurately capture license plates at speeds up to 75 MPH, even in total darkness. Every plate is automatically read, logged, and stored in a powerful searchable database, allowing you to track and analyze vehicle activity with unmatched accuracy and ease.
In today’s security landscape, proactive awareness matters more than ever. That’s why our next-generation ANPR LPR systems give you a decisive edge. The moment a flagged or unauthorized vehicle enters your property, instant alerts are triggered, often before the driver exits the vehicle. This level of real-time intelligence delivers situational awareness that rivals—and in many cases exceeds, traditional security methods.
With Platinum CCTV, LPR isn’t just about recording plates—it’s about anticipating threats, accelerating response times, and maintaining total control. It’s a powerful, practical security advantage for businesses and facilities that refuse to rely on outdated surveillance technology.
Smart Camera Alerts
Tired of endless, useless alerts from your doorbell or security cameras? You’re not alone. Most surveillance systems bombard users with notifications triggered by shadows, weather, or passing objects, forcing many people to mute alerts altogether. That’s because traditional systems rely on basic motion detection and lack the processing power required for real-time Video Content Analysis (VCA).
Platinum CCTV’s AVM NVR systems redefine how smart alerts should work. Built with high-performance processors and intelligent surveillance software, our systems deliver accurate, actionable notifications, eliminating false alarms and alert fatigue. With alerts you can trust, your security system becomes a tool you actually rely on.
We believe security should be proactive, not reactive. That philosophy drives every solution we design. By combining our AVM NVR platform with next-generation HD IP cameras featuring built-in A.I., we create custom security solutions that alert you only when a person or vehicle enters an unauthorized area. Our intelligent cameras accurately distinguish between humans, animals, and irrelevant motion, ensuring your attention is required only when it truly matters. With Platinum CCTV, smart alerts finally live up to the promise of intelligent security.
At Platinum CCTV, we are experts in Smart Camera Alerting, we've been doing it for 20 years
