Overview

Designed for the footage you will actually need.

The shortcomings of a camera system usually become apparent only when footage is required: poor low-light video, a recorder that stopped weeks earlier, a lapsed cloud subscription, or a licence plate that cannot be read. We design each system around the areas that matter, including entrances, transaction areas, parking, and loading docks.

  • 4K and 2K cameras with strong low-light performance
  • Recording stored on-site on equipment you own
  • Live view and playback from a phone or workstation, anywhere
  • Detection of people and vehicles, with alerts limited to relevant events
  • Licence plate recognition and doorbell cameras where appropriate
  • No recurring cloud fees for recording

Scope of work

A complete camera system

Coverage planning

We survey the site and plan camera placement for sight lines, mounting height, and lighting conditions.

Camera installation

Dome, bullet, PTZ, and doorbell cameras, mounted indoors and outdoors with concealed cable runs.

Local recording

A UniFi Protect recorder sized for the required retention period, typically 30 days or longer.

Remote viewing

Secure access through the UniFi application on a phone or tablet, or on a monitor at reception.

Detection and alerts

Notifications for people, vehicles, or motion in defined zones, during the hours you specify.

Upgrades and replacements

Where an existing DVR or analogue system is being replaced, we reuse suitable cabling and modernize the remainder.

Platform

Why we install UniFi Protect

Many camera brands charge a monthly fee per camera and store footage on their own servers. UniFi Protect records locally to a recorder on your premises, with no recurring cloud fees, while still providing secure remote viewing.

Because it shares the UniFi platform with your network and door access system, all three are managed together and powered by the same switches.

Frequently asked questions

Security cameras

How many cameras are required?
Fewer than is often assumed, provided they are positioned well. A typical small retail or office site uses four to eight cameras covering entrances, the register or reception area, and parking. We plan the layout with you on site.
How long is footage retained?
Retention depends on recorder capacity, camera count, and resolution. We normally size systems for 30 days and can provide longer. Important clips can be exported and kept indefinitely.
Can the cameras be viewed off-site?
Yes. The UniFi application provides live view and playback from any location, with individual user accounts so that staff see only the cameras they are authorized to view.
Do you replace older DVR systems?
Yes, regularly. Where the existing cabling is serviceable we reuse it, replacing the cameras and recorder with a modern IP system.
