CCTV systems

We are able to design, install and commission CCTV systems to suit all sizes and types of properties. Our CCTV systems protect a site and help to reduce crime, intrusion, vandalism, false litigation and parking issues.

We offer:
• CCTV cameras and recording
• CCTV networks / IP cameras
• Remote site monitoring to BS 8418
• ANPR - automatic number plate recognition

Cameras and recording
We offer a comprehensive range of CCTV cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs) to suit your site, budget and security needs. We offer bespoke CCTV system design, to ensure all vulnerable areas of a site are monitored sufficiently.

CCTV networks / IP cameras
We offer networked CCTV solutions, which can reduce installation costs, especially when existing building networks are used. New cameras can be easily added, making expansion simple. The image quality is usually higher than traditional analogue CCTV solutions and multiple locations can be viewed and managed from a central point, a PC or even a remote monitoring centre. We are also able to maintain the CCTV system remotely, identifying site issues and resolving them immediately. Site visits can often be reduced as a result, saving costs.

Remote site monitoring
Remote CCTV monitoring offers a site 24 hour protection, 7 days a week. A central monitoring station is linked to your site and its operators are able to watch the site at specified times (usually after hours and at weekends). The remote monitoring station operators are able to visually verify any incidents and take appropriate action. This could be anything from letting the key holder know there is an open door or flapping hoarding to contacting the emergency services in the event of a crime in progress. The alarm can be visually verified as genuine, so usually ensures an immediate police response.

ANPR (Automatic number plate recognition)
ANPR offers our customers a simple means of managing their site access control and car parking. Our ANPR systems are designed to meet individual site needs, from monitoring a small parking space to managing a full retail customer’s car park. Each system is designed individually and seeks to offer a cost effective solution to parking and access control issues, without the need for a large staff team.
