Physical Security

Cameras, access control and perimeter detection for offices, warehouses and industrial sites. Specified around what you actually need to see and who actually needs to get in.

Physical Security: control room, camera, access reader
What it covers

Six capabilities, specified as one system rather than bought piece by piece.

01

CCTV and IP Camera Systems

Hikvision and Dahua systems designed around identification rather than coverage. A camera that shows somebody was there is worth far less than one that shows who. Recorder sizing is worked back from how long you are obliged to keep footage.

HardwareHikvision, Dahua
RetentionSized to your obligation
IncludedCoverage plan, camera schedule
02

Access Control and Biometrics

Readers, controllers and biometric terminals on ZKTeco and Hikvision hardware. Door hardware, power supply and fail-safe behaviour specified as part of the same drawing, because a door that locks people in during a fire is not a security system.

HardwareZKTeco, Hikvision
Fail behaviourSpecified per door
IncludedDoor schedule, access matrix
03

Access Cards and Card Printers

Card stock, encoding and on-site printing, so issuing a card to a new starter is something reception does in five minutes rather than something that waits on a supplier.

SuppliedPrinters, stock, ribbons
TurnaroundSame day, on site
IncludedTemplate design, training
04

Alarm and Perimeter Systems

Detection at the boundary rather than at the door, integrated with the camera system so an alarm brings up the relevant footage instead of a zone number somebody has to look up.

DetectionBeams, sensors, electric fence
IntegrationAlarm triggers camera view
IncludedZone plan, response procedure
05

Remote Monitoring and Playback

Live view and playback from wherever you are, with bandwidth and retention planned so remote access does not quietly consume the site connection during business hours.

AccessMobile and desktop
BandwidthShaped, business hours aware
IncludedUser accounts and permissions
06

Maintenance and Service Contracts

Lenses cleaned, firmware current, recordings verified against the schedule. A camera system nobody checks is a camera system that was not recording on the day it mattered.

VisitsQuarterly, or to contract
VerifiedRecording and retention tested
ReportingMonthly system health
01

Survey

We walk the site and mark what needs to be seen, entered and detected.

02

Design

Camera positions, door schedule and retention agreed before anything is quoted.

03

Deploy

Installed, aimed, commissioned and handed over with the footage verified.

04

Hold

Serviced on contract, with recordings tested rather than assumed.

Cybersecurity

The other half of the same system, from the network in.

Network Infrastructure

Cameras are network devices, and belong on their own segment.

Solar and Power

A camera system is only recording while it has power.

A new installation, a site that has outgrown its cameras, or an honest assessment of what the existing system does not cover.
