Commercial security
Security that identifies, not just records
Hard-wired CCTV, number-plate recognition, intruder alarms and access control for shops, offices, warehouses, yards and farms. Each system is designed around how the premises are used, and the footage it produces is meant to be used afterwards.
- Hard-wired CCTV recording around the clock
- Number-plate recognition at gates and car parks
- Intruder alarms and access control on one system
- Remote viewing and out-of-hours monitoring
What we install
A business rarely needs cameras alone. We design the cameras, the alarm and the door control as one system, so an alarm brings up the right camera and every entry leaves a record.
Hard-wired CCTV
Cameras on a single network cable each, recording around the clock with colour night vision. Fixed, dome and long-range cameras chosen for the job.
Number-plate recognition
Cameras at gates and car parks that log every vehicle, for access control, deliveries and evidence.
Intruder alarms
Zoned alarms with panic buttons and a keypad or app, linked to your cameras so every activation can be seen and checked.
Access control
Fobs, codes or phones on doors, gates and barriers. Timed access for contractors, removed in seconds, with a record of every entry.
Remote viewing
Live and recorded images on your phone or desktop, across every site you run, with separate access for each person.
Out-of-hours monitoring
Trained operators check each alert, challenge by live voice and escalate in your agreed order. How monitoring works
Designed to identify
Every camera has a job
We decide what each camera must achieve first: detect someone, observe what they do, recognise them, or identify them. Then we choose the camera, lens and position that can do it, by day and by night.
Entrances
Identify. A camera at face height on every door and till point, set so that a face is clear enough to name someone from the footage.
Yards and docks
Recognise. Wide views of people, vehicles and goods, with enough detail to recognise a person or a vehicle that has been there before.
Gates and car parks
Plate. Number-plate recognition at the gate, with a wider view of the vehicle and the people in it.
Perimeter
Detect. Long-range cameras and detection that raise an alert before anyone reaches the building, and ignore animals and weather.
Inside
Observe. Stock rooms, cash areas and server rooms covered so that activity can be followed from room to room.
Who it is for
Systems sized to the premises, not to a package.
Shops and hospitality
Tills, entrances and stock areas, with footage that settles disputes and supports a police report.
Offices and professional premises
Door control and discreet cameras at reception, entrances and car parks.
Warehouses and industrial units
Yards, docks and racking aisles covered, with monitoring when the building is empty.
Yards, depots and car parks
Number-plate recognition, perimeter detection and lighting for plant, haulage and storage.
Farms and rural businesses
Machinery, fuel and outbuildings a long way from the road, covered with the right mix of wired and solar cameras.
Multi-site operators
One system and one set of permissions across every site, installed to the same standard.
Cameras that record around the clock
More than security
They answer more questions than who broke in.
Delivery records
Time-stamped footage of what arrived, when, and in what condition.
Health and safety
A record of how a task was done if an accident or a claim is questioned.
Disputes and claims
Footage that settles customer, staff and insurance disagreements quickly.
What your system is judged against
Built so the footage can be used.
EN 62676-4
The standard behind the detect, observe, recognise and identify levels. We use it to set each camera’s job and check it at commissioning.
UK GDPR and ICO guidance
A business using CCTV is a data controller. The ICO expects clear signs, a retention period, a way to handle access requests, and a written CCTV policy, which we supply with every installation.
Conditions and evidence
Your insurer may set conditions for cover, and the police will want footage in a usable format. We ask about both at survey and design to them.
These are reference points for the design conversation. Which of them apply to your premises is confirmed at survey.
How it works
- SurveyA visit to walk the site and talk through what has happened and what worries you.
- DesignA plan showing every camera, what it will see and what it costs.
- InstallNeat cabling, coverage tested at night, and a handover for your team.
- ProtectRemote health checks, servicing and out-of-hours monitoring if you want it.
Questions
Can you add to the cameras we already have?
Often, yes. We check what you have at the survey and keep whatever is sound. Cameras that cannot do their job are replaced, and we say which and why.
What do I need to do about data protection?
A business using CCTV has to follow UK GDPR. That means clear signs, a sensible retention period, a way to handle access requests and a written policy, and you may need to pay the ICO data protection fee. We supply signs and a CCTV policy with the installation and explain what is left for you to do.
How long is footage kept?
As long as you decide, within reason. Thirty days is common, and we size the recorder for the period you choose. Keep footage no longer than you need it.
Can I view every site from my phone?
Yes. Live and recorded images are available in an app, with separate logins and permissions for each person, so a manager can see one site and a director can see all of them.
Can you monitor the premises out of hours?
Yes. Trained operators check each alert on live images, challenge by voice and escalate in the order you agree. See how monitoring works.
