CCTV (or Closed Circuit Television) uses cameras to record specific areas of a property recording the image and/or providing a live feed which can be monitored either internally or externally.

 

The benefits of having cameras on your property include:

• Peace of Mind - You can sleep well at night knowing that your home or business is under surveillance and that if an intruder were to enter your property, they would be caught on tape. People at the premises will also be given reassuarance and would feel safer. For example, employees would maybe feel more comfortable being alone than if there wasn't CCTV in place to aid their security.

• Deterring criminal activity - This includes reduced likelihood of burglary, vadalism, shoplifting and trespassing from people outside of your home and organisation. Criminals are often intimidated if they feel they are going to get caught in the act.

• Aiding Prosecution - If a criminal offence is commited on your property CCTV is a useful tool in identifying the offender to help the police make an arrest. Court cases are also much more likely to be successful if CCTV evidence is used in the trial.

 

What is a Monitored CCTV system?

A monitored system is one that makes digital recording of the pictures captured by a CCTV system, but can also provide a live feed which can be viewed from anywhere else in the world.

 

There are two main ways in which a system can be monitored.

1. A simple system can be connected to your router and viewed either online or via a network by yourself. 

2. The second option is more complicated but takes some worry off of your shoulders and is very reliable and effective in deterring criminal activity. We can connect your CCTV system to an intruder detection system (either new or existing) and transmit the feed to an NSI Gold registered Alarm Recieving Centre (ARC). When the intruder system is breached, the ARC can check the feed from the cameras and take the best steps to protect your property. This could include calling emergency response units, alerting keyholders, or using speakers on your property to directly communicate with the trespasser.
