Protect your business, staff and customers

CCTV is not just the luxury for big companies but can be used in all business from the small to the large for a variety of risk reduction applications including: keeping track of delivers and pick-ups from a warehouse, protecting and monitoring staff.

Monitoring who is on your premises: protecting machinery, cars or stock in a yard, garage or warehouse and of course monitoring your premises 24/7 to deter or catch an opportunistic thief in the act.

With today’s technology CCTV systems can be integrated with your network (IP Cameras) using your existing CAT5 cabling or you can have full recording via a DVR. Both options provide the flexibility of re-looking at any incidents including theft or accidents in the work place.

View your cameras from almost anywhere

CCTV systems technology will link to the internet and via an app through your smartphone or laptop they can be monitored or controlled when you are away from the firm to give you that extra bit of peace of mind.

CCTV systems can also be monitored 24/7 by a monitoring service providing extra security and a cost effective way of having complete security and allows for a quicker response to an alert.

Many cameras also have installed infrared giving you the flexibility of both day and night recording and with today’s technology

There are three technologies of cameras suitable for a business security system:

Analogue

Analogue CCTV cameras use old technology (non-digital) so the images captured may not be of the highest quality.

Higher performance analogue cameras can be installed also with added infrared for night vision.

Analogue cameras are cost effective and are most suitable in areas where high quality images are not required, in these cases analogue cameras are the best value for money.

HD-TVI

HD-STVI CCTV cameras use digital technology to capture and record images producing excellent clarity.

Cameras can come in higher resolutions depending on the requirements and due to the digital image give greater flexibility for the business user when accessing via a smartphone or tablet or using a monitoring service.

Perfect for an area where clarity of images is required.

IP Cameras

IP CCTV Cameras send images and data via your computer network and the internet.

These cameras support both built in wireless and Ethernet, giving you more flexibility to have these cameras exactly where you need them.

Images will be recorded directly to a network recorder or in some circumstances can be saved directly to the main server or network drive.

There are three technologies of cameras suitable for a business security system:

Dome Cameras

Dome cameras are smaller and can be hidden to be more aesthetically pleasing, ideal for inside an office or public area.

Bullet Cameras

Bullet cameras are more rugged in feel and look and are ideal on the outside of the premises to act as a visible deterrent, some specifications will give greater field of vision if you have a bigger area to cover such as a warehouse or outside area.

PTZ Cameras

These are: Pan, Tilt and Zoom cameras allowing the camera to be controlled and moved remotely. Some cameras allow the use of auto tracking, the result is that the camera will follow movement and can also allow recognition software.

Recording

DVRs or HD DVRs can be bought with 4 to 16 channels (depending on the number of cameras required). In some circumstances this can be increased as can the size of the recording hard drive (where the images are stored) again this depends on your requirements and how long you wish to keep you recorded images for.

An NVR or network video recorder will be used when using IP Cameras.

Our trained engineers will provide a free business security survey and will assess with you the key areas where a camera should be positioned and what sort of camera will be required to best protect your firm and employees.
