What is included

Typical scope. We confirm the final scope after the site assessment.

  1. CCTV and recording

    Camera positions chosen for coverage and clear images, with on-site recording and viewing on your phone.

  2. Access control

    Who can go where and when, for staff, residents and visitors.

  3. Perimeter and alarms

    Detection and alarms from the boundary wall to the building.

  4. Intercom and visitor entry

    See and speak to visitors before the gate or door opens.

  5. Backup power for security

    Cameras, recorders, access control and gate motors kept running through grid outages.

What to know before you buy

Choosing camera positions

Cameras should cover entrances, the perimeter, parking and areas where valuables are kept, mounted where they are hard to reach. A few well-placed cameras with clear images do more than many badly placed ones.

Recording and remote viewing

Cameras record to a network video recorder (NVR) on site, with storage sized to keep footage for the number of days you need. Viewing on your phone needs a stable internet connection at the site.

Keeping security on in outages

Cameras, the recorder, access controllers, gate motors and the internet router all need backup power. We size a dedicated battery or connect them to your solar system so protection holds through long outages.

Access control options

Cards, key fobs, PIN codes, fingerprint or face readers, and phone apps. Choose based on how many people need access and how often access rights change.

How many CCTV cameras do I need?

It depends on the number of entry points, the length of the perimeter and the areas you want to watch. We work it out on a site walkthrough, and position each camera for a clear view of faces or number plates where that matters.

Can I watch my cameras on my phone?

Yes, as long as the site has a stable internet connection. You can view live footage and play back recordings from anywhere.

How long is CCTV footage kept?

That depends on the recorder storage, the number of cameras and the image quality. We size the storage to the number of days you want to keep.

Will my cameras work during a power cut?

Yes, if they are on backup power. Every security system we design includes backup power for the cameras, recorder, router and access control.

Do you install security systems for estates and offices?

Yes. We design CCTV, access control, perimeter detection and visitor entry for homes, estates, offices and industrial sites.

What is the difference between IP and analogue cameras?

IP cameras send digital video over network cable and generally give sharper images and more features. Analogue HD systems can reuse older cabling and cost less. We recommend one based on your site and budget.

How we approach it

Security design starts with a walk round the site to see how it can actually be approached, then layers detection, access control and recording to match. Every security load is put on backup power, so protection holds when the grid does not.
