Security Installations
CCTV & Door Access
IP CCTV and door-access-control installations — from camera mounting to NVR setup and access-credential configuration.
What we do
- IP camera installation (PoE)
- NVR / recorder setup with retention policy
- Door access control (card, fob, keypad, mobile)
- Integration with existing networks and UniFi
- Remote viewing and alerts configured
How we work
-
Design
Camera placement and access points agreed against your priorities.
-
Install
Clean cabling, discreet mounting, weather-sealed external runs.
-
Configure
Recording, retention, access lists, schedules and remote access.
-
Train
Short walkthrough so your team can manage credentials and pull footage confidently.
How we test
Fluke DSX certified. Industry-standard, every cable, every time.
Every install is tested on a Fluke DSX network analyser and signed off against current industry standards — so you get a certified result, not a promise.
- Cat6 / Cat6A / Cat7 certified
- OS1/OS2 & OM3/OM4/OM5 fibre
- Full test reports included
- 25-year installation warranty
FAQ
Questions about this service
Do you install CCTV and door access on the same visit as cabling?
Often, yes. If CCTV or access control is part of the build, it's far more efficient to run those cables alongside the data cabling rather than coming back later. We'll plan it all at the survey stage.
Will the CCTV system meet GDPR and signage requirements?
Yes. We configure recording retention to a defensible default (typically 30 days), mask private areas where required, and provide template signage and a one-page operator's policy so you're compliant with ICO guidance from day one. We don't store any footage ourselves — the system is yours.
Cloud-based or on-premise NVR — which is better?
On-premise NVR gives you better cost-per-camera at scale and works without internet. Cloud is cleaner for small multi-site estates, removes the local hardware and gives you a single pane of glass. We're not religious about either — we'll size and recommend based on camera count, retention and your IT comfort level.
Can door access work with fobs, cards and mobile phones?
Yes — modern access controllers handle RFID fobs/cards, mobile credentials (NFC/Bluetooth from a phone) and PIN entry, often on the same reader. We'll specify the right mix depending on staff turnover, visitor flow and whether you want to issue credentials remotely without posting a fob.
Can you integrate CCTV and door access with our existing alarm system?
In most cases yes — modern access controllers expose dry-contact inputs/outputs and HTTP APIs that hook into mainstream alarm panels and building management systems. We confirm compatibility at survey and won't promise an integration we haven't tested.
What is a Fluke DSX test and why does it matter?
The Fluke DSX is the industry standard for certifying copper and fibre cabling. It verifies every cable meets the electrical and signal performance required for its rated category — giving you a printed, traceable record that the cable is not merely wired up, but actually performing to standard.
Why do you offer a 25-year warranty?
Structured cabling should outlast the equipment plugged into it. We only install kit and terminations we trust, test every run on a Fluke DSX, and stand behind the result for 25 years. If a certified cable fails in that time, we replace it.
Do you work on secure or government sites?
Yes. Our engineers are CNCI-trained, ECS-certified and DBS-checked, and we have experience delivering installations at some of the most secure sites in the country. We can comply with site-specific vetting and working procedures as required.
Do you provide free site surveys?
Yes. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation site survey so we can scope and price accurately — and so you get honest advice rather than a speculative quote.
