CCTV Survey, Design & Installation

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

• entrances/exits and visitor access points
• reception areas and main corridors
• playgrounds and external approaches
• car parks and drop-off/pick-up areas
• bike sheds, storage areas and vulnerable points

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 industrial sites 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 replacing everything. Common upgrades include:

• higher-detail cameras at entrances and key internal routes
• improved low-light performance for winter afternoons and early mornings
• recorder upgrades for faster search and more reliable exporting
• storage upgrades to increase retention
• additional cameras to remove blind spots

CCTV Maintenance & Servicing

Schools are busy environments — planned maintenance helps keep CCTV dependable.

Typical checks include:

• camera alignment and cleaning
• playback and search speed
• time/date accuracy
• storage/retention checks
• exporting tests
• user access/permissions review (where required)

CCTV Takeovers

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