CCTV Survey, Design & Installation

We start with a site survey to confirm what you need the system to achieve (deterrence, identification, staff safety, incident management, stock protection, perimeter coverage). Then we design the right camera plan and recording setup

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)

Where appropriate, CCTV can be connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) for professional monitoring (annual fee + maintenance plan typically required).

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 for entrances and tills
• improved low-light/night performance
• recorder upgrades (NVR/DVR) for faster playback and better reliability
• storage upgrades to increase retention
• adding cameras to cover blind spots (yards, rear doors, staff entrances)

CCTV Maintenance

Commercial CCTV needs to stay reliable. We offer planned servicing to help prevent the quiet failures that only show up when you need footage. Maintenance typically includes:

• camera alignment and cleaning
• playback checks
• storage/retention checks
• time/date accuracy checks
• exporting tests
• remote viewing health checks

CCTV Takeovers

If youve inherited a system (new premises, previous contractor unavailable, or a system thats become unreliable), we can carry out a health check and take over support.

Designed for identification:
