Security is a paramount concern for both homeowners and business operators. With the increasing necessity to protect our properties, assets, and loved ones, the benefits of installing a CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) system are manifold. A well-designed CCTV system allows you to monitor every facet of your property, from tracking visitors and deliveries to observing the daily comings and goings of family members, staff, and contractors. The peace of mind that comes with knowing that your building, personal data, and possessions are secure is invaluable.
Thanks to advancements in technology, CCTV systems have become far more affordable and accessible for both residential and commercial use. The options available on the market range from simple DIY kits found in local stores to sophisticated systems designed for high-risk public spaces. However, selecting the right system tailored to your needs can be complex, especially when considering factors such as monitoring people's and vehicles' movements, securing entry points, and covering blind spots without compromising the visual appeal of your property.
At OC Services, we take pride in being an SSAIB-accredited company, offering you the expertise needed to effectively design and install a CCTV system at an affordable cost. Our skilled security engineers collaborate with you to create a solution that caters to your specific security requirements and property layout.
We provide a wide array of services and products to meet your security needs:
All our CCTV systems comply with BS EN 62676 standards, SSAIB Codes of Practice, and meet insurance approval.
Before any installation, we perform a comprehensive free, no-obligation security survey, which allows us to create a system design proposal suited to your property. This proposal outlines camera specifications, ideal placements, recording equipment, and the best methods for video retrieval.
Choosing the right cameras can be a daunting task, given the myriad options available, including classic bullet cameras, advanced domes, turret models, and 360-degree cameras. Our knowledgeable team at OC Services guides you in selecting the optimal equipment suited to your needs while enhancing your property’s aesthetics.
Regular maintenance is key to the performance and longevity of your CCTV system. At OC Services, we recommend annual maintenance, with biannual check-ups for remotely monitored systems overseen by police response. This preventative maintenance serves to:
High-quality images, especially in low-light conditions, are essential for effective surveillance. Our cameras, powered by DarkFighter technology, ensure optimal image quality during night-time, allowing for reliable recording. Alternatively, you may opt for Hikvision’s ColorVu range, which utilizes white light technology to produce coloured images, making identification simpler and more efficient.
With the HikConnect app, you can self-monitor your CCTV system in real-time from anywhere, whether at home, on vacation, or during business trips. This remote access provides an added layer of reassurance, allowing you to take swift action should an incident occur.
For comprehensive security, our remote monitoring services connect your CCTV system to a professional Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). Should an alert be triggered, the ARC quickly assesses the situation and alerts the appropriate authorities, whether that be the police or designated keyholders, ensuring timely and appropriate responses to any potential threats.
