Control Room Solutions in Saudi Arabia
Magnaite is a Riyadh-based systems integrator, founded in 1989, that designs, builds and supports control rooms for Saudi enterprises, government entities and multi-branch operators. We bring CCTV, cloud video, access control, alarms and network monitoring into one room, so operators see what is happening and act from one place.
What a control room needs to do
A control room exists to shorten the time between something happening and someone acting on it. That depends less on the size of the screens and more on what reaches them: the right camera feeds, clear alarms, and information operators can act on without switching between ten systems.
We design control rooms around the decisions operators make on each shift, then specify the hardware and software that support those decisions.
What we integrate into a control room
Video surveillance
Live and recorded feeds from on-site CCTV and cloud video surveillance, organised by site, zone and priority.
Video walls and operator stations
Video walls, operator displays and audio-visual systems sized to the room, the number of operators and the viewing distance.
Access control and alarms
Door events, intrusion alarms and safety alerts shown in context with the camera covering the same area.
Network and system health
Monitoring of cameras, recorders, switches and links, so faults are visible before they become blind spots.
Analytics
AI video analytics alerts that bring operator attention to events worth reviewing.
How we build a control room
1. Requirements
We define what is monitored, by how many operators, on which shifts and with what escalation.
2. Design
We plan the room layout, operator positions, video wall, cabling, power and cooling, and the software that ties the systems together.
3. Installation and integration
Our engineers install the infrastructure, connect each system and test end to end with your operators.
4. Training and support
Operators are trained on daily procedures, and our maintenance team supports the room under an agreed service level.
Control rooms for multi-branch operators
A control room is not only for large government or industrial sites. Restaurant and retail chains with many branches use a central monitoring room, or a smaller monitoring desk, to watch openings and closings, respond to alarms and support branch managers. Combined with cloud video surveillance, one team can cover the whole network.
Why work with Magnaite on a control room
Control rooms fail when the systems feeding them are installed by different contractors and never fully integrated. Magnaite installs the underlying systems itself: networks, CCTV, access control and audio-visual. That means one team is accountable for the room and everything connected to it, from the first design to long-term support.
Questions we get.
A security control room is a central space where operators monitor cameras, alarms, access control and other systems across one or more sites, and coordinate the response when something happens.
Typically a video wall or large displays, operator workstations, video management software, integration with access control and alarms, a reliable network, and suitable power, cooling and furniture. The exact specification depends on what is monitored and by how many operators.
Yes. With cloud video surveillance and a reliable network, a central control room can monitor branches in different cities, with feeds and alarms organised by region and priority.
It depends on the size of the room, the number of systems to integrate and any civil works. We provide a timeline after the requirements and site assessment stage.
Yes. Our maintenance team supports the control room and the systems connected to it under an agreed service level.
