Connectivity / Security Cameras
Cameras are only useful when you can find the footage.
CCTV and IP camera systems designed, installed and managed — on-premises NVR, cloud, or a hybrid of both, with the retention, access control and support to make the recording worth having.
Most systems get tested for the first time on the worst day.
Something happens in the car park, and only then does anyone discover the camera was pointed at a wall, the recorder overwrote last week, the one person who knew the password has left, or nobody can get the clip off the system in a format anyone else can open.
We design camera systems backwards from that moment. What do you need to be able to see, how far back, who is allowed to look, and how quickly can a usable export be in someone’s hands. The hardware follows from those answers rather than from a box count.
Cameras sit on your network, so they are treated as part of it — segmented away from business systems, cabled by the same team that does your structured cabling, patched and monitored like every other endpoint we manage.
Can you produce a clear, time-stamped export of a specific incident, from any camera, in under ten minutes?
Where the recording lives
On-premises, cloud, or both.
There is no universally right answer — it depends on site count, bandwidth, retention and who needs access.
NVR
- Recording stays on the premises
- No ongoing storage subscription
- Bandwidth only when viewing
- Hardware and drives to maintain
- Best for single sites with long retention
NVR plus cloud
- Local recording with cloud copies of events
- Survives theft of the recorder itself
- Remote access without exposing the NVR
- Balanced bandwidth and cost
- Best for most multi-site clients
Cloud managed
- No recorder to fail or be stolen
- Access and updates handled centrally
- Retention is a subscription tier
- Needs upload bandwidth at every site
- Best for many small sites
Coverage
The right camera for the thing you need to see.
Identification, recognition and general observation are different jobs and need different optics.
Interior
Dome and turret
Discreet fixed cameras for corridors, receptions, tills and open-plan areas, sized so faces are identifiable rather than merely present.
Perimeter
Bullet and weatherproof
External cameras rated for the conditions, positioned for entrances, yards, loading areas and car parks.
Wide areas
Multi-sensor and PTZ
Multi-sensor units that cover a whole junction from one mount, and pan-tilt-zoom where someone will actually be driving it.
Low light
Night performance
Infrared and low-light optics chosen for the actual lighting on site, not for the specification sheet.
Entrances
Doors and access points
Cameras framed on the approach and the door itself, so an event has both context and a usable face.
Existing kit
Takeovers and expansion
Assessment of a system you already own — what is worth keeping, what is beyond support, and what it costs to extend it.
What we handle
Survey to retention policy.
- Site survey and coverage plan
- Camera selection and placement
- PoE cabling and power
- NVR sizing and installation
- Cloud or hybrid configuration
- Retention set to your requirement
- Network segmentation for cameras
- Named accounts and access levels
- Remote viewing on desktop and mobile
- Export procedure your team can follow
- Firmware and vulnerability patching
- Health monitoring and support
Worth deciding early
A camera system records people. Treat it accordingly.
Retention length, who can view live footage, who can export it and whether that access is logged are policy decisions, not installer defaults. We set the system up to match what you decide.
Cameras are among the most commonly exploited devices on a business network. Ours go on a segment of their own, get patched on a schedule, and are never exposed directly to the internet for remote viewing.
New system, or one that never quite worked?
We will walk the site, tell you what each area actually needs, and price it honestly — including whether your existing cameras are worth keeping.
