Facility Security
Systems.
Camera Surveillance
Network-based POE camera systems with intelligent NVRs. High-resolution coverage of every zone — designed to meet Michigan state cannabis surveillance requirements.
Door Access Control
Paxton Net2 access control fully integrated with your camera system. Log, track, and manage every point of entry with a real-time audit trail.
Loss Prevention
POS-linked surveillance that captures a 10-second clip per transaction. Every sale is tied to a video record — a compliance and shrinkage tool in one.
Video Analytics (VCA)
VIVOTEK VAST2 intelligent analytics for people detection, bounding boxes, alarm management, and event search — reducing false alarms and improving response times.
Action Rules & I/O
Connect cameras, speakers, access readers, and sensors through a unified I/O module. Devices talk to each other — locking doors on alarm, triggering audio on detection.
Security Planning
Pre-license security plans and floor-plan-level camera placement for new cannabis applicants. We’ve helped facilities pass state inspections across Michigan.
Security isn’t just a checkbox. It’s the infrastructure regulators will audit.
Michigan cannabis regulations require every licensed facility to maintain a compliant security system — specific camera coverage zones, minimum retention periods, documented access logs, and the ability to produce footage on demand. For a regulator, your security system is evidence. For your operation, it’s protection.
Most operators buy a camera kit online, have it installed by a generalist, and hope it passes inspection. It usually doesn’t — or it passes but falls apart six months in when the NVR fills up, the access reader firmware goes stale, or nobody can pull footage under pressure. That gap is where Existo comes in.
Camera Surveillance Architecture
Our surveillance deployments are built on VIVOTEK’s network camera platform, managed through the VAST2 Video Management System. Every camera is POE-powered, network-addressable, and centrally managed — making firmware updates, health monitoring, and footage retrieval fast and reliable.
We design camera layouts based on your facility floor plan, ensuring complete coverage of all required zones: sales floors, vaults, entrances, grow rooms, processing areas, and parking. No blind spots. No guesswork.
Door Access Control — Paxton Net2
Existo is an official reseller and installer of Paxton’s Net2 access control suite. Net2 gives you a complete picture of who accessed which door, at what time, with an exportable audit trail that satisfies state compliance requirements.
Integrated with VAST2, access events trigger camera clips automatically — so every door open has a corresponding video record. Role-based access means your cultivation staff can’t enter the vault, and your dispensary staff stays out of the back-of-house. It’s not just security, it’s operational discipline.
Loss Prevention & POS Integration
Through VIVOTEK’s Smart VCA technology integrated into VAST2, your camera system becomes active — not passive. People counting, perimeter breach detection, object left behind, and loitering alerts turn your surveillance into an early-warning system. Bounding boxes and event-search make reviewing incidents dramatically faster than scrubbing raw footage.
