CCTV Survey, Design & Installation

We survey your site and design CCTV around your priorities, such as:

• gates, entrances and long driveways

• yard areas, barns and outbuildings

• machinery sheds and workshops

• fuel tanks, chemical stores and controlled areas (where applicable)

• livestock areas and perimeter approaches (where appropriate)

• farm shops and public-facing areas (if you have them)

I,P CCTV systems

A reliable, cost-effective option for straightforward coverage. - Dependable overview monitoring - Often lower up-front cost - Uses DVR recording equipment

Analogue CCTV systems

A reliable, cost-effective option for straightforward coverage. - Dependable overview monitoring - Often lower up-front cost - Uses DVR recording equipment

Recording equipment:NVR vs DVR

• NVR: records IP cameras
• DVR: records analogue cameras

We also plan channel capacity so you can add cameras later without replacing the recorder.

Storage & retention (how long footage is kept)

Storage depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate and recording mode (continuous vs motion). We size storage so your retention matches your needs without losing important footage too soon.

Viewing & screen size

If you need to identify faces or vehicles, your monitor and recorder must support the camera resolution. We'll recommend a practical screen setup based on how you'll use the system.

Self-monitoring

We can configure remote viewing so authorised users can check cameras anytime.

Professional monitoring(ARC)

Some farms benefit from professional monitoring via an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). Well advise on whats realistic and cost-effective for your site.

GDPR & signage 

GDPR/DPA18 responsibilities will likely apply to your CCTV system. We'll advise on sensible positioning and signage.

CCTV Upgrades

If you already have CCTV, we can often improve performance without starting again. Common upgrades include:

• higher-detail cameras at gates and key access points

• improved low-light/night performance for yards and driveways

• recorder upgrades (NVR/DVR) for faster playback and more reliable exporting

• storage upgrades to increase retention

• additional cameras to remove blind spots

CCTV Maintenance & Servicing

Outdoor and rural environments can be tough on equipment. Planned maintenance helps keep CCTV reliable and usable.

Typical checks include:

• camera alignment and cleaning

• night image checks and glare review

• playback and search speed

• time/date accuracy

• storage/retention checks

• exporting tests

• remote viewing health checks

CCTV Takeovers

If you’ve inherited a system (new site owner/manager, previous contractor unavailable, or an unreliable setup), we can carry out a health check and take over support.
