From the first view to useful evidence

CCTV design & installation

A camera count is not a security design. Coverage, recording and response have to work together.

Design is a chain of decisions.

We begin with what you need to see, the risks you need to manage and the people who will use the system. Camera positions, lenses, lighting, network capacity and recording are then developed as one design. Our construction work includes Project Vista, 99 City Road and Bermondsey Place.

01

See the right detail

Define the purpose of each view before selecting the camera and position.

02

Retrieve useful recordings

Plan recording, storage, time settings and user access around the operational need.

03

Support the life of the site

Allow for commissioning, handover, maintenance and changes to the layout.

The specialist detail

Specify the view before the device.

01

The viewing objective

An overview of a compound and a view intended to identify a person require different levels of detail. Establish the task for each scene before choosing the lens, position and recording settings.

02

Conditions across the day

Lighting, glare, movement, weather and temporary obstructions can change the usefulness of a camera. Assess the installed view in the conditions in which it will be relied upon.

03

Evidence and access

Agree retention, playback, export and user permissions. The operator should be able to find and retrieve a recording, with suitable control over access to personal information.

Define these in the proposal
  • Camera and coverage schedule
  • Power, network and storage design
  • Commissioned live and recorded views
  • User handover and maintenance scope
What we plan with you

From the discussion
to the delivery.

A long perimeter, a busy gate and a hoist landing present different challenges. We assess viewing distance, light, obstructions, mounting, power and connectivity. The same attention goes into the equipment cabinet and the recording settings. Commissioning checks the whole route from the camera to the person using the footage.

The delivery conversation
  • Site survey and operational requirements
  • Camera layout, equipment selection and network plan
  • Installation, configuration and image checks
  • Recording, playback and access testing
  • Handover information and maintenance options

Talk to the team
Can you upgrade an existing CCTV system?

Yes. We assess the existing cameras, recording, network and access arrangements before defining an upgrade. Reusing equipment depends on its condition and suitability.

Do you use one camera manufacturer?

Equipment is selected for the project. Dahua and Johnson Controls technology are part of the manufacturer conversation; compatibility and the client’s procurement requirements influence the final design.
