OC Services designs, installs and manages the network infrastructure that connects your security systems — and your wider technology — together. Whether you need a dedicated security network for a new installation, structured cabling for an office fit-out, or help getting a reliable internet connection to a remote rural site, we'll make sure everything talks to everything else, securely and reliably.
The core of what we do — connecting your alarms, CCTV, access control, intercom and fire systems onto a properly designed network. This includes:
Separate VLANs or physically isolated networks for your security systems, keeping them secure and independent from your general IT traffic
IP-based intercom systems connected to handsets, apps and access control
e
Making different manufacturers' systems work together on one network, with centralised management where possible
e
Connecting cameras to NVRs, switches and remote viewing platforms. PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches to power and connect cameras over a single cable
Network and internet-based alarm signalling for monitoring, notifications and remote management
Linking door controllers, readers and management software across single or multi-site installations
Network interfaces linking fire alarm panels to building management systems, access control and other systems
The physical backbone that everything runs on:
Structured cabling for security systems, IT, telephony and general data
Supply, installation and fit-out of network cabinets with switches, patch panels, power and cable management
e
Neatly terminated, labelled and documented cabling to wall plates, floor boxes and equipment locations
Underground ducting and overhead routes connecting outbuildings, annexes, barns, gates and remote structures
Trunking, conduit and basket tray to keep cables organised, protected and compliant
Getting you connected — reliably and where you need it:
Access points positioned for coverage across your building, site or outdoor areas. Business-grade equipment, not domestic routers
Helping you get the right connection for your needs, whether that's fibre, 4G/5G backup, bonded lines or satellite
e
Dedicated wireless bridges and access points for CCTV cameras, intercoms and other devices in locations where cabling isn't practical
Router setup, VLAN configuration, port forwarding for remote CCTV access, firewall rules and secure remote connectivity
We supply, install, mount and configure Starlink systems and integrate them with your security and network infrastructure
When something stops working, we diagnose and fix it
Network diagrams, cable schedules and equipment records so you always know what's installed and where
Changed your broadband provider or router? We'll reconfigure your security systems and network to work with the new setup (this is one of the most common call-outs we attend)
Adding new cameras, doors, devices or buildings to your existing network
Our networking services support every sector we work with. Whether you're a homeowner with a few cameras or a multi-site commercial operation, the same principles apply — reliable connectivity, clean installation and secure configuration.

"We're installing new CCTV but the cameras are too far from the recorder"
We design the cable routes, install structured cabling or wireless bridges, and connect everything to your NVR — whether the cameras are across a corridor or across a farmyard.
"Our security systems were installed by different companies and nothing talks to each other"
We audit what you have, design a network that connects them and configure integration where possible — one network, one point of contact.
"We've changed broadband provider and now we can't view our cameras remotely"
One of our most common calls. We reconfigure your router, port forwarding, DDNS and app settings to restore remote access.
"We need internet at a rural site with no broadband"
Starlink, 4G/5G routers or bonded connections — we'll get you online and connect your security systems to it.
"We're fitting out a new office and need cabling for everything"
Structured cabling for security, IT, telephony and AV — properly designed, neatly installed, fully documented.
"We want to add access control to a second building but there's no cable route between them"
Fibre optic, wireless bridge or external cabling — we'll find the right solution to connect your buildings.

Do you only network security systems?

Do you only network security systems?
Security systems are our core focus, but the infrastructure we install — structured cabling, network points, Wi-Fi, cabinets — supports everything. If you need data points for IT, telephony or AV alongside your security cabling, we can include that in the same project.
Can you install Starlink?
Can you install Starlink?
Yes. We supply, mount, install and configure Starlink systems. We'll position the dish for the best signal, run cabling to your router location and configure your security systems and network to work with it. Ideal for farms, rural properties, construction sites and anywhere without reliable broadband.
We've changed our Wi-Fi router and now our cameras don't work remotely — can you fix that?
We've changed our Wi-Fi router and now our cameras don't work remotely — can you fix that?
Yes — this is one of the most common issues we deal with. We'll reconfigure your router settings, port forwarding, DDNS and camera/app settings to restore remote viewing. Typically resolved in a single visit.
Can you connect buildings that are far apart?
Can you connect buildings that are far apart?
Yes. Depending on the distance and environment, we use fibre optic cabling, point-to-point wireless bridges, external cabling in underground ducting or overhead routes. We'll recommend the best option for your site.
Do you provide ongoing network support?
Do you provide ongoing network support?
Yes. We offer ongoing support for troubleshooting, reconfiguration, upgrades and expansion. When you add new devices, change providers or need something adjusted, we're a phone call away.
Can you integrate systems from different manufacturers?
Can you integrate systems from different manufacturers?
In many cases, yes. We regularly connect systems from different manufacturers onto a single network and configure integration where the products support it. We'll assess what's possible during your survey.
What's the difference between a security network and a general IT network?
What's the difference between a security network and a general IT network?
A security network is often kept separate from your general IT traffic — either physically or using VLANs (virtual network segments). This keeps your CCTV, access control and alarm traffic secure, reliable and unaffected by general internet use or IT issues. We'll recommend the right approach for your setup.
Do you provide network diagrams and documentation?
Do you provide network diagrams and documentation?
Yes. Every project includes full documentation — network diagrams, cable schedules, equipment locations, switch port assignments and configuration details. You'll always know what's installed and how it's connected.
Call 01483 600464 or email info@oc-services.co.uk to discuss your networking requirements. Whether it's connecting a single camera or designing infrastructure for an entire site, we'll make sure everything works — reliably, securely and professionally.
