With our years of experience, our expert technicians have the knowledge to design, install and maintain products from the leading brands and manufacturers of CCTV camera equipment. We provide a wide range of security camera systems for commercial properties, with competitive and affordable prices to suit any budget.
CCTV Cameras For Commercial CCTV Systems
We have a very wide range of CCTV cameras for any commercial security installation project whether you need standard fixed position cameras, sophisticated PTZ cameras that can change direction and zoom in to a specific target on your premises
Thermal cameras
Using thermal cameras can detect early signs of faulty machinery, damaged components and other areas that may be the source of fire risks in the workplace .Thermal CCTV cameras detect areas that are emitting unusual amounts of heat in areas that are invisible to conventional HD cameras and deliver images of these areas. . They can detect intruders hiding in a building or on the property.
Wireless CCTV cameras
can be placed almost anywhere. They are easy to install and are suitable for indoor or outdoor use and because they don’t require cables or wired connections they are particularly suitable for locations such as churches or museums or public places where the presence of wires would be unsightly.
C-mount CCTV cameras
C- mount cameras have a lens that can be changed, a standard CCTV camera has a fixed lens that can cover 35-40 ft, but by installing a special lens in a C-mount ,the camera can cover greater than 40ft.
C-mount lenses come in sizes between 4mm up to 50mm. Using a 4mm provides facial detail and a 70degree angle of focus up to approximatey 10 metres. Typical use for a C-mount camera would be in an office setting or trained on an entranceway or lobby.
Dome CCTV cameras are very popular types of camera. They are used in both indoor and outdoor security systems. They have a dome-shape casing within which the camera is mounted. These cameras have a big advantage as a crime deterrent in that it is impossible to see which way the camera is directed. This makes it difficult for a criminal or intruder to evade detection.
Bullet CCTV cameras are called so because of their long, cylindrical shape. These are often used where long-distance viewing is required, or in fixed locations, as they don’t typically come with a pan/tilt/zoom option. They can be wall or ceiling mounted and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
PTZ cameras
Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras can be controlled by an operator who can pivot the camera, pan the view and operate optical zoom to zero in on any specific target. These CCTV cameras are typically used by an operator who is observing the site from a remote monitoring location.
Day-night CCTV cameras
can switch automatically depending on the quality of light, they record clear images during daylight or good lighting conditions and are also able to capture video images in the dark.
When light levels drop, they automatically turn on the IR(infa red) illuminators and change from colour to black and white to record clear images in low or poor lighting conditions. The day-night camera is typically used for outdoor applications, because it is able to operate in situations with glare, direct sunshine, strong backlight and reflections
Night vision cameras can record video images using IR ( Infa Red ) LEDs modern technology is so advanced that these cameras give excellent clear images even in pitch black conditions. They can be used for protecting vulnerable outdoor areas where the lighting is poor or non existent.
Outdoor CCTV cameras often have to endure very harsh environmental conditions, the housing for the cameras therefore needs to be durable and the protective casings must be waterproof and able to protect the camera lens from dust and dirt.
There are weather proof, rugged exterior casings available and the lenses can be fitted with wipers whenever the conditions are likely to inhibit clear vision.
Tamper proof CCTV For areas that are high crime locations or prone to vandalism camera housings are used that are both tamper resistant and impact resistant. Impact resistant housing is rugged and the optical surfaces are composed of a thick layer of reinforced acrylic or polycarbonate plastic.
Tamper-resistant housing is similar to impact-resistant housing but is stronger. The housing can be locked and is designed to withstand beating, hammering or cutting

It is necessary to state the reasons for the cameras and to give information about the recordings and their storage.
To comply with Data Protection Act, CCTV in commercial premises and public areas must be registered with the Information Commissioner (UK).
Your employees must be made informed that they are being recorded and they should be given the reasons for the installation of a CCTV system in their work area.
You are required to provide CCTV signage in the areas where images are being captured , to clearly state there is video recording taking place. Health and safety and loss protection, are often the reasons for CCTV inside a workplace.
You must pay the Data Protection Fee, which can be found online on the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) official website https://ico.org.uk/
Recorded footage from the CCTV cameras in a workplace must only be used for the purpose stated and must only accessed and viewed by authorised persons in your organisation.
Licensed premises are often required to have CCTV cameras installed but this depends on the type of premises and the surveillance requirements as a condition of the license. For example, a local city bar serving alcohol until late , may have to have sufficient video surveillance in place for a minimum of 30 days recording. specified in the license application.
