Security Systems & Access Control FAQs
We install HD IP-based CCTV systems with network video recorders (NVRs) for commercial premises. These provide high-resolution footage, remote viewing via smartphone, and scalable camera counts. We work with several reliable commercial CCTV brands and will recommend a system specification suited to your premises size, lighting conditions, and budget.
Yes — commercial CCTV systems must comply with GDPR and the Data Protection Acts. This includes displaying signage notifying visitors that CCTV is in use, ensuring cameras are positioned to capture only your own premises and not public spaces or neighbouring properties, having a documented retention policy for footage, and providing a process for data subject requests. We advise on correct camera placement as part of our installation service.
Access control systems restrict entry to specific areas using electronic credentials — key fobs, PIN codes, smartphone apps, or biometrics. They replace traditional lock-and-key systems with a flexible, auditable alternative. You can grant and revoke access instantly, see who entered where and when, and set time-based access restrictions. They’re particularly useful for businesses with multiple staff or contractors, secure storage areas, or server rooms.
Yes — integrated security systems that combine CCTV, access control, and intruder detection into a single management platform are common in commercial premises. We can install the full integrated infrastructure and commission the system. For larger integrated systems, we work with specialist security system integrators to ensure the platform configuration is done correctly.
Camera count depends on the size and layout of your premises, the coverage areas you need, and your budget. As a rough guide: a small office or retail unit typically needs 4–8 cameras; a warehouse or large commercial facility might need 16–32 or more. We assess your premises during a free site survey and provide a specific recommendation with a fixed-price quotation.
Standard CCTV systems will go offline if mains power is lost. We can install uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) on cameras and NVR systems to provide battery backup during short power outages. For critical security environments, we can also tie the security power circuits into a generator backup system. We’ll advise on the appropriate level of backup power for your specific requirements.
Yes — retrofitting CCTV and access control to an existing premises is one of our most common commercial jobs. Where possible, we run cables through existing ceiling voids, conduit, and cable trays. Where surface runs are necessary, we use neat surface trunking that minimises visual impact. We can typically complete a 4–8 camera installation in a day or two without significant disruption to business operations.
We offer ongoing maintenance contracts for security systems we install and can also take over maintenance of existing systems. Regular maintenance checks ensure cameras are functioning correctly, recording is working, and access control databases are up to date. We offer annual maintenance visits and priority call-out for reactive issues.
