Technology & Equipment
Coverage that holds up when you need the footage
Most systems we are called to fix have blind spots, unusable night images or a recorder that stopped writing months ago. We plan coverage first, then install.
What this covers
- Site survey and camera placement planning for genuine coverage
- IP and HD analogue camera supply and installation
- Network video recorder setup, storage sizing and retention configuration
- Remote viewing on phone and desktop, configured and tested with you
- Intruder alarms, sensors and sirens
- Access control: keypads, fobs, card readers and electric strikes
- Repair, upgrade and health checks on existing systems
Common problems
What we usually get called about
If one of these sounds familiar, it is a job we do regularly.
“The cameras record, but the night footage is unusable.”
How we handle it
We specify sensors and lighting for the actual conditions at each position, and we show you a live night image before signing off.
“An incident happened and the recorder had nothing.”
How we handle it
We size storage to your required retention, configure recording correctly and set up alerts if the recorder stops writing.
“Ex-staff still have keys to the building.”
How we handle it
Access control replaces keys with credentials you can revoke individually, with a log of who entered and when.

Questions
CCTV & Security — frequently asked
Straight answers, including the ones that might talk you out of the job.
How many cameras do I need?
Fewer than most quotes suggest, if they are positioned properly. We plan around entry points, till areas and blind spots rather than spacing cameras evenly around a building.
Can I view the cameras from overseas?
Yes. We configure remote viewing on your phone and desktop and test it with you before we leave site.
Can you take over a system another company installed?
Usually. We will assess what is there, tell you what is worth keeping and quote to repair or upgrade the rest.
