Theft, especially from businesses or people’s homes, has become a significant issue.
Modern CCTV and Alarm Systems are both positive preventative measures and with
real-time monitoring can be customised for your business or home. They can also be
integrated together to form one complete system providing an additional layer of
security.
So, what is CCTV? CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) can be defined as a system of
one or more cameras that records to a central point. In the event of a crime being
committed, for example a burglary, the recorded footage can be used as
evidence.
In the last few years CCTV systems have become much “smarter” and can now do
much more than “just record”.
These “smart” systems can recognise faces of staff members or family members,
read and record car number plates, tell the difference between humans and
animals (for example cats / dogs), to mention just a few.
When integrated with “smart” alarm systems, for example, alarm systems that can
be controlled via an App on a mobile phone, these “smart functions” can
automatically disarm and unlock doors when paired with a smart door lock; and
can also be paired with Smart Home controls, for example, Hey Google and
Amazon Alexa.
With “smart” CCTV and alarm systems becoming more and more advanced, they
provide layers of security for your business or home. If you’d like advice on any
