Evidence is safe, even if the recorder is stolen
A system that doesn’t just record crime. It prevents it.
Connected Protection.
Link your alarm to your lighting. If the perimeter is breached, the house floods with light and the blinds raise automatically.
CCTV and access control installers in Ayrshire, Glasgow and Edinburgh
We design and install CCTV, access control and door entry across Ayrshire, Glasgow, Edinburgh and the west of Scotland, using Merit Lilin hardware on the same designed network as everything else in the building rather than on a separate consumer system. Cyber security is the part most installers leave out: a camera on an unsegmented network is a way into the house, not a way of protecting it. We have written about that in are your cameras keeping you safe and cyber and network security.
Who we build for
Private houses and estates
Coverage designed around the approach and the boundary rather than around where a bracket happens to fit. Recording kept on site, access controlled, and nothing exposed to the open internet.
Commercial premises
Retail, hospitality and offices, where footage may be needed as evidence and the system has to be operable by staff. See the vandal-proof door entry installation for one example.
Listed and sensitive buildings
Where cabling routes are restricted and equipment cannot be seen. We survey the fabric before specifying anything.
How a surveillance system gets designed
1. Survey
We walk the site, agree what actually needs to be seen and at what quality, and identify the approaches. Camera count is an output of that, not an input.
2. Network and cyber design
Cameras go on their own VLAN, with the recorder segregated and remote access controlled properly. This is the step that separates a security system from a liability.
3. First fix
Cabling and containment with the other trades, and power provision agreed with the electrician rather than assumed.
4. Commissioning
Fields of view set and recorded, retention configured, firmware updated, default credentials removed.
5. Handover
Documentation, a camera schedule, and one number to call.
Questions we are asked
Do you install CCTV in Ayrshire, Glasgow and Edinburgh?
Yes, and across the west of Scotland, from Marathon House, Olympic Business Park, Kilmarnock.
How many cameras do I actually need?
Fewer than most quotes suggest. The right question is what has to be identifiable and from where. We survey, agree the views that matter, and let the camera count follow from that rather than the other way round.
Is a CCTV system a security risk in itself?
It can be. Cameras on the same flat network as everything else, reachable from the internet with default credentials, are a well-documented way into a building. We put cameras on their own VLAN, segregate the recorder and control remote access. This is the part we would not skip.
Can footage be used as evidence?
Only if the system was designed for it: sufficient resolution at the distance that matters, accurate time, and retention long enough to be useful. We set those at design stage and record what was agreed.
Will it work in a listed building?
Yes. Chases are often not permitted and equipment must not be visible, so the survey comes first and the specification follows the fabric.
What do you hand over?
A camera schedule, the network documentation, retention settings and one number to call.
