A good quality CCTV system is much more than just the cameras, often having a variety of additional devices included as part of the installation, such as:
- Cameras
- DVRs or NVRs
- Network switches
- 4G or satellite internet routers
- Solar panels and associated inverters
- Lithium batteries
- Audio devices
- Site lighting
That’s why we actively monitor all component parts through internet and SMS-based alerting. This gives us visibility of current issues and identifies potential problems — such as failing hard drives or weather affecting solar power generation — so we can proactively intervene rather than simply react.
Our monitoring tools allow remote issue resolution, reducing downtime and improving sustainability by decreasing unnecessary engineering visits.
These give you and us an even deeper view into our systems and it is now an integral part of our engineering tasking and scheduling.
Twice-daily camera image checks compare images and alert when limits are breached — sometimes by unexpected sources such as spider webs affecting nighttime footage.
All installed sites are automatically enrolled, and the service is also available as an optional addition for engineering-only clients.
