CCTV & Surveillance
Footage that is usable when it matters: identifiable at the required distance, retained for the required period, and retrievable quickly.
Surveillance systems designed for evidential quality — camera selection and placement, storage sized to the retention policy, and a control room that works.
What this service is usually brought in to fix
Cameras that record without identifying
Pixel density at the target distance was never calculated, so footage shows that something happened but not who did it.
Retention shorter than the policy requires
Storage was sized to a budget rather than to the retention period, and footage is overwritten before it is requested.
A control room nobody can operate
Dozens of streams on a video wall with no analytics, no alerting and no procedure means incidents are found only in review.
What the service covers
- Camera selection, placement and pixel-density design
- NVR, storage and network bandwidth sizing to retention policy
- Video analytics: motion, line crossing, loitering, counting
- Control room design and video wall integration
- Integration with access control and alarm systems
- Installation, commissioning and preventive maintenance
What you receive
- Site survey with camera placement and coverage plan
- Storage and bandwidth calculation against the retention policy
- Installed, commissioned and focused system
- Control room configuration and operator procedures
- Maintenance schedule and as-built documentation
How the work runs
Each stage produces something reviewable, so scope, risk and progress stay visible to your team throughout.
Survey
Identify the scenes and the purpose of each — detect, recognise or identify — and calculate the pixel density required.
Design
Specify cameras, lenses, lighting, network and storage sized to the retention period rather than to a budget figure.
Install
Install, aim and focus each camera against its design intent, and verify coverage in day and night conditions.
Operate
Configure analytics and alerting, train operators on retrieval and export, and maintain the system on schedule.
Where we apply it
- Government buildings and public facilities
- Hospitals and educational campuses
- Financial institutions and retail
- Industrial sites and warehouses
The controls that apply
- Camera placement reviewed against privacy expectations; signage and purpose recorded.
- Retention period set by policy, with storage sized to meet it and deletion enforced afterwards.
- Export and access to footage restricted, logged and auditable for evidential use.
Frequently asked
If your question is not here, ask it directly — we would rather answer it before a proposal than after a contract.
Ask a questionThat is the wrong starting question. We begin with what each scene must achieve — detection, recognition or identification — because that determines pixel density, and pixel density determines camera count, lens and placement.
