CCTV systems

CCTV has become an important tool for security and loss prevention.

  • We hold the highest possible independent accreditation for the design, installation and maintenance of CCTV systems, namely NSI Gold.
  • We have access to a range of quality products from leading CCTV manufacturers to meet the needs of any site conditions.
  • We use high quality internal, external, static, pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ), conventional, IP, HD, overt, discreet and covert cameras to cope with most requirements.
    • Our cameras are designed to provide high quality colour images during the daytime. All cameras which operate at night provide black and white images under conventional lighting conditions. Some cameras incorporate infra-red LED technology for more discreet night applications and lower running costs.

For medium to large sites and compounds we can provide a mix of static and pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras that can operate in conjunction with conventional lighting on site at night  or via discreet, energy-efficient, infra-red LED lighting.

Movement detection may be used to provide a ‘ring’ of protection around the areas to be covered and, once armed, any motion detected causes the system to communicate with a remote monitoring centre via broadband.

The centre operators have access to live and recorded footage and can remotely control full-function PTZ cameras to identify the cause of the activation. Using an interlinked public address system on site, the operators may issue verbal warnings to trespassers and, if necessary, call out your keyholder or a security guard response unit.

Sites with no power or landline

For smaller sites, individual buildings and vacant properties where power and broadband may not be available, we can provide wire-free lithium cell-powered cameras with integral movement detection and infra-red LED lighting which transmit a 10-second video stream of the area of detection to a remote monitoring centre via the GPRS mobile network (subject to suitable signal strength on site).

Our monitoring centre operators can notify your staff or nominated manned guarding company to respond to activations on site, or we can arrange for a manned guarding service on your behalf.

Such systems are normally provided on a monthly rental basis. Outright sale packages are available if long term use is required.

Remote site management tools

Our site protection systems may be used as management tools by reducing time-consuming journeys to site to view building progress.
