We were contacted by a local firm who have been manufacturing glass fibre products for over 40 years, supplying gate houses, cabinets, kiosks and enclosures to various industries throughout the UK. They provide standard or bespoke products and manufacture to suit any size and specification requirements.

With experience in marine, rail and utilities industries, they are proven GRP design and build experts. In December 2021, our clients had some unwanted visitors to the premises, and with the Christmas shut down only days away, they approached us to provide an emergency CCTV installation to give coverage while the premises were empty over Christmas. With literally only a few days to go before deliveries and suppliers finished for the hoidays, we needed to act fast but make sure we didn’t compromise on product performance due to availability and timescales.

On meeting with the management on site, we discussed the need for further expansion of the CCTV system in the future so we needed to take this in to account when specifying the equipment, and eventually decided on the following:

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION:

  • 64 channel 8TB network recorder
  • 4 x 4MP ColourVu cameras with built in mic & speaker, liveguard strobe and audio alarm to warn off intruders
  • approx. 30 days recording for the 4 cameras
  • additional hard drives can be fitted as more cameras are added in the future
  • 27” local monitor
  • 6 U network cabinet and power bar strip
  • 24 channel POE managed network switch

The system allows both remote monitoring by the management with app arming and disarming with push notification of activations via the app. Users are also able to warn off intruders with 2 way audio and strobe/warning sounds. The system is also enabled for monitoring by a third party remote receiving centre, providing 24hr, 365 day protection.

CAMERA SPECIFICATION:

  • high quality imaging with a 4MP resolution
  • efficient H.265+ compression technology
  • clear imaging against strong backlight due to 130DB WDR technology
  • focus on human and vehicle targets
  • classification based on deep learning
  • 24/7 colour imaging
  • active strobe light and audio alarm to warn off intruders
  • provide real-time security via built-in two way audio
  • audio alarm interface available
  • water & dust resistant (IP67)

Since the installation on 2021, we have returned and added additional cameras and coverage accross more of the site, utilising the scope for expansion as allowed for in the original specification.
