CCTV

For the past 25 years, we’ve provided our customers with advice, design & installation expertise for the implementation of suitable and appropriate closed circuit television systems.

Specialising in high quality transmission of video signals over fibre, copper and microwave, we have particular experience in multi-channel video transmission for CCTV systems as well as the integration of voice and data channels to support peripheral networks for intercoms, access control and alarm systems.

With the introduction of IP-based security networks, our Ethernet networking skills have enabled us to help our customers make the transition to converged networks and we have been able to offer innovative designs to support security infrastructures, particularly in widely dispersed external networks.

Fixed single camera installations to larger and networked systems. Using analogue and IP technology with new generation digital video recording, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition), analytics and thermal imaging.

From our experience built up through our involvement in many hundreds of CCTV systems, we are able to advise and build fully integrated megapixel IP solutions offering clients a single network infrastructure, often contained within the corporate backbone as a VLAN, delivering high quality CCTV solutions from a single source.
