What 2045 does

2045 - Empresa de Segurança S.A. is a Portuguese integrated private security company founded on March 1, 1990 by Major General Comando Jaime Neves and Capitão Comando Sousa Gonçalves. The company operates an integrated portfolio spanning five core service lines: human surveillance (vigilância humana), electronic security systems (intrusion detection, CCTV, fire detection, access control), wireless alarm systems (Kit Alarme 2045 with the proprietary Hub 2 Plus control panel), a 24/7 central monitoring station, and a PSP-certified training center. It employs approximately 3,700 specialized personnel and operates across Portugal, Angola, and Mozambique (since 2008), with headquarters in Venda do Pinheiro (Lisbon region) and a regional office in Perafita, Porto.

The company's technological backbone is centered on its Security Monitoring Central (Central de Segurança), which has the capacity to monitor over 15,000 cameras and 65,000 sensors nationwide — including what the company describes as the largest school videovigilance project in Portugal, covering more than 1,000 national schools. The Kit Alarme 2045 product line is built on proprietary Jeweller radio technology and the OS Malevich real-time operating system, with mobile control via iOS/Android apps and integration with major third-party CCTV brands (Uniview, Dahua, Hikvision, Safire IP) via RTSP. The company holds the MAI Alvará No. 16 with categories A, B, and C, and its training center holds PSP Authorization No. 34, allowing it to certify Vigilante, ARD, and ARE courses.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: recurring human surveillance contracts (subscription), electronic security installation and maintenance (project-based professional services), direct-to-consumer hardware sales of wireless alarm kits with optional monitoring subscriptions, and PSP-certified training course fees. The go-to-market is predominantly enterprise field sales targeting 11+ vertical sectors including government, healthcare, banking, retail, transportation, aviation, energy, sports events, education, and hospitality — with named reference clients including the Portuguese Football Federation, Novo Banco, EDP, Metro de Lisboa, Aeroportos de Portugal, Aldi, and multiple IPO hospitals. Pricing is quote-based and bespoke across both B2B and B2C channels.
