We offer three main types of CCTV systems:

• Analogue HD CCTV (up to 8 Megapixel resolution)
• IP Megapixel CCTV (2-20 Megapixel resolution)
• IP Thermal Imaging cameras

Yes! Our Analogue HD CCTV systems are ideal for cost-effectively upgrading existing analogue systems. They utilise your existing cabling while achieving resolutions up to 8 Megapixel, significantly reducing installation time and project costs.

IP Megapixel cameras provide superior image quality with high-resolution video (2-20 Megapixel), enabling detailed monitoring and clear identification of people and objects. They support digital zoom without losing clarity, allow remote access to live feeds and recordings, are compatible with video analytics tools for intelligent features like motion detection, and can cover larger areas with fewer cameras.

Thermal imaging is ideal for applications with no illumination or challenging environments where conventional cameras struggle. It's used for human detection with advanced analytics, radiometric temperature analysis for process management, and fire detection.

Absolutely. With advanced analytics, modern CCTV systems can notify operators when persons of interest enter a building, search for individuals around a site, and perform various intelligent surveillance tasks beyond simple recording.

Our access control systems are cutting-edge solutions that monitor individuals within your premises and secure critical areas. They provide insights into staff time and attendance while safeguarding high-risk or key assets.

Yes. Our remote access control apps allow you to manage your system from anywhere in the world. You can open doors, view door status, create and edit users, initiate fire roll calls, complete live fire registers, and view events.

Remote access provides flexibility for multi-site businesses, enables monitoring outside regular hours, reduces the need for constant on-site personnel (saving costs), integrates with other security technologies like CCTV, and offers scalability to adapt to changing needs.

Yes, we provide perimeter fencing solutions ranging from short sections of a few metres to comprehensive perimeter systems. Our fencing comes in diverse designs, heights, and colour options.

Absolutely. Our clients frequently bundle security fencing with automated security gates, barrier entry systems, ANPR access control, CCTV systems, security control rooms, and offsite monitoring for a comprehensive security solution.

Fencing establishes clear property boundaries, deters unauthorised access, restricts visual access to protect sensitive information, aids in access control by directing people to designated entry points, and creates a layered security approach when combined with features like access gates and surveillance.

Yes, we offer comprehensive fire safety solutions that provide early detection and rapid response to safeguard your property and personnel.

Yes, we offer a full turnkey installation service for bespoke control room facilities. This includes building works, mechanical and electrical requirements, and installation of security and building management systems.

Our tailored command consoles offer optimal sight lines, ergonomically tailored features, and progressive modular design. They're built using the finest metals, timber, and composite materials, designed to outlast competitor furniture systems, and available in an extensive range of finishes and colours.

A security control room is a centralised facility where security personnel monitor, manage and respond to security events and incidents. It typically houses the necessary technology and tools to facilitiate real-time surveillance and communication.

Essential equipment includes video surveillance systems, access control systems, alarm systems, communication tools and incident management software. The specific requirements depend on the organisation's security needs.

Video surveillance involves the use of cameras to monitor and record activities in and around a facility. The control room staff can observe live feeds, review recorded footage and respond to incidents in real-time.

Access control systems regulate entry and exit to secured areas. The control room monitors access logs, responds to unauthorised attempts of access and may integrate with other security systems.

Control fooms receive alerts from various security systems, such as intrusion alarms or fire alarms. Staff must prompty assess the situation, verify the alarm and initiate the appropriate response.

Offsite monitoring involves a remote Control Centre (RVRC) monitoring your premises, particularly during evenings and weekends. It provides a cost-effective alternative to manned guarding out of hours.

We work with an established NSI Certified Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) operating to British Standard 5979/8418 Category II and ISO 9002.

When your CCTV, intruder, or fire alarm system is activated, the monitoring centre immediately communicates with appropriate individuals including key holders, security staff, police, or emergency services. This response is managed 24/7, year-round.

The National Police Chief's Council Policy requires alarm confirmation before police attendance. Our ARC achieves this through integration of alarm confirmation technologies that meet strict British and Security Industry standards.

We provide perimeter access control for 24-hour sites, lone worker safeguarding, automated polling and alerts for line connection failures, dual path signalling via 4G as backup, and remote system status monitoring via GDM and GPS signalling.
