Centinela Group SAS

What Centinela Group SAS does

Centinela Group SAS is a Bogotá-based electronic security and building-technology integrator founded in 2013 that designs, deploys and services integrated physical security and automation solutions for Colombian enterprises, institutions and high-end residences. Its portfolio spans AI-enabled CCTV and video analytics, access control, fire detection and alarm systems, home and building automation, radio communications, structured cabling, energy solutions and IoT/GPS telematics, assembled from a multi-vendor technology stack that includes Hikvision, Honeywell, Digifort, Kenwood, Lutron, SOMFY, Silent Knight and Fire-Lite.

The company combines project-based installation work with multi-year maintenance contracts to monetize its deployments. Pricing is delivered through custom quotes per project rather than standardized list pricing, and revenue is supplemented by recurring service agreements. Its technology positioning is integrator-led rather than IP-led: AI video analytics and automation features are resold or configured atop third-party platforms rather than developed in-house, and the firm's competitive pitch rests on cross-domain integration expertise and 12+ years of operating history (with 50+ special projects completed).

Centinela serves a diversified enterprise and institutional client base across healthcare (Clínica Nuestra Señora de la Paz), agriculture (Federación Nacional de Cafeteros), hospitality and clubs (Country Club de Bogotá), and commercial real estate (Edificio Kavalastanza). The company also operates an e-commerce storefront, indicating a hybrid go-to-market that combines direct project sales with self-service product distribution. The firm is privately held, has not disclosed external funding, and operates with a small team (reported at seven employees) headquartered in the Antonio Nariño locality of Bogotá.

Broad incumbents

• Prosegur Seguridad: Spanish-headquartered global security group with strong Latin American operations providing integrated electronic security, alarms, and monitoring services. Comparable in offering electronic security integration and monitoring, with overlapping Colombian footprint.
• Bosch Security Systems: Global OEM and integrator ecosystem for video surveillance, intrusion detection, access control, and fire alarm systems. Comparable as a competing multi-vendor integrated security provider with established LATAM integrator partners.
• Johnson Controls (Tyco Integrated Security): Global security and building technology integrator offering CCTV, access control, and integrated security solutions across LATAM. Directly comparable to Centinela as a full-stack electronic security integrator, but at vastly greater scale.
• Hikvision (integrator channel): World-leading CCTV, AI analytics, and access control OEM whose hardware and VMS platform Centinela resells and integrates. Comparable because Hikvision's direct integrator channel and partner programs overlap directly with Centinela's go-to-market.
• ADT (Securitas AB / ADT Inc.): Global electronic security provider delivering intrusion, video surveillance, access control, and smart-home solutions with operations across the Americas. Comparable product mix and customer base to Centinela but at mass-market scale.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Major OEM of fire detection, intrusion, access control, and building automation systems that Centinela integrates (Total Connect, Silent Knight, Fire-Lite). Comparable as the upstream supplier whose products and certified partner programs shape Centinela's offering.

Direct peers

• Genetec: Unified security software platform (VMS, access control, ALPR) used by integrators worldwide to deliver integrated security deployments. Comparable because, like Centinela, it enables multi-vendor integrated security stacks for enterprise and commercial customers.
• Milestone Systems: Open-platform VMS provider whose software is integrated with cameras, access control, and analytics by security integrators globally. Comparable as a peer platform enabling the same type of multi-vendor integrated video and security solutions Centinela deploys.

Regional players

• Securitas Colombia: Colombian arm of Securitas AB offering guarding, electronic security, and integrated security solutions locally. Comparable as a Colombia-based integrated security services competitor targeting many of the same enterprise and industrial verticals as Centinela.
• Seguritech Privada: Latin American (Mexico-headquartered) integrated security solutions provider delivering CCTV, access control, and command-and-control platforms across the region. Comparable as a regional integrated security integrator in a neighboring LATAM geography.
