Security planned for your site
Every site is different. Here is what we usually suggest for each kind.
Home security
Cameras at the gate, parking and front door, a video door phone so you see who is outside before opening, and live view on your phone when you are away.
- 2 to 4 HD cameras with night vision
- Video door phone with indoor screen
- Phone app for live view and playback
- Optional door sensors and a siren
Retail CCTV
Clear views of the cash counter, aisles, stockroom and shop front, recorded day and night so you can check any moment later.
- Counter camera placed to see transactions
- Wide-angle dome cameras for aisles
- Outdoor camera for the shutter and frontage
- Recording for 15 to 30 days, by hard disk size
Office systems
IP cameras on your office network for entries, corridors, server rooms and loading bays, with access for more than one manager.
- IP cameras with PoE, one cable per camera
- Network video recorder in a locked rack
- User accounts with view-only access for staff
- Biometric attendance and access control on request
Society & gate coverage
Main gate, boundary walls, parking and lift lobbies, with a monitor in the guard room and access for the society committee.
- Gate cameras for people and vehicles
- Long cable runs and weatherproof boxes
- Guard-room monitor with multi-camera view
- AMC with fixed visit schedule
Good practice: point cameras at your own property and common areas, not into neighbours' homes, and put up a notice that the area is under CCTV. Remote viewing needs a working internet connection at the site.
