CCTV Systems

Crime against the business sector is increasing with six out of ten businesses being victims of crime in the last year. Crime costs businesses £19 million annually and 10% have lost business as a consequence of crime.(BCC Survey 2004).

With the use of CCTV equipment established primarily in the public sector, the growing case for CCTV installations and commercial security systems is becoming more evident on a daily basis

CCTV BENEFITS

CCTV statistics point to major reductions in the amount of crime being committed where there are cameras installed. An article in 'New Scientist' magazine showed that simply installing a system can reduce crime, in the areas covered, by over 95%. This is proven as those that have had CCTV installed have similar results in all types of business; you will begin to appreciate why CCTV is seen by many as the best system for deterrent and detection

CCTV security system technology and CCTV equipment can be used in both internal and external environments to watch over and protect people, property, vehicles and valuables. CCTV is considered to be the most effective method of reducing crime (“British Chambers of Commerce Business Crime Survey”)

DIGITAL CCTV

Digital CCTV technology removes the need to replay hours of tape to search for an incident. CCTV footage can easily be searched by simply entering a date and time or by applying a mouse pointer to a specific timeline on a monitor screen.

Digital video recorders (DVR) have replaced the old analogue VCR's. We can supply a range of different DVR's depending on the functionality you require and the budget available. Every system is different but typically a CCTV system will include the following components

Externally	Fully Functional PTZ Dome cameras, Static cameras, Movement detection
Internally	Mini dome static camera
Controls	Digital Video Recorder, Flat screen CCTV monitor , Matrix , Control Keyboard

CCTV INTEGRATION

CCTV Integration is critical to all security systems today. With the reduced cost of CCTV cameras, it makes sense to install CCTV cameras at practically every controlled door and most strategic points.

The access control and security system can be integrated in such a way that the security officer can be presented with the right camera at the right time.

As a Security Solutions provider, we can design a totally integrated security system that combines all aspects of Access Control, CCTV, Intruder Detection, Perimeter Protection & Gates and Barriers..

A fully integrated security system allows for communication between all areas of the system - maximising the benefits of a fully integrated system.

RETAIL CCTV

Theft against shops can account for a major reduction in their profits. Previous experiences have found a small CCTV camera system can be the most cost effective form of prevention for retail shops of all sizes.

Because a camera does not allow the shoplifter to know whether they are being watched, or recorded, at any particular moment they are uneasy about stealing while under the camera's view. Criminals, therefore, will normally avoid premises where a CCTV system has been installed.

With a much safer environment and the increased peace-of-mind for staff, customers and the general public, there are major benefits to having a CCTV system in terms of increased traffic and business.
