CCTV & Surveillance Systems
A surveillance system is only as reliable as the electrical and network infrastructure behind it. We design camera placement for actual coverage needs, run structured cabling and power correctly the first time, and configure recording and remote-access systems for real-world use.
Scope of work
- Site survey and camera placement design
- Structured cabling and PoE power installation
- NVR/DVR installation and configuration
- Remote viewing and alert setup
- Integration with gates and access control
Technical considerations
- Coverage planned around entry points and blind spots
- Camera placement balances field of view against glare, lighting changes, and tampering risk
- Power and network cabling sized for the number and type of cameras from the start
How this work comes together
Coverage planning
A site walk to identify entry points, blind spots, and priority areas before any camera is placed.
Camera positioning
Placement and angle set for footage you can actually use.
Network & power infrastructure
Structured cabling, PoE, and power sized correctly for the number and type of cameras installed.
Recording & storage
Storage capacity and retention matched to camera count, resolution, and how long footage needs to be kept.
Properties that typically need cctv & surveillance systems
How we scope, install, and hand over the work
Assess
Site survey, load assessment, and diagnostics. We measure the actual conditions before proposing a scope.
Design
A written design based on the assessed load: circuit schedules and single-line diagrams you keep.
Install
Work executed by our team to the documented design, with safety isolation and site protocols observed throughout.
Test & Handover
Commissioning tests, compliance checks, and as-built documentation handed over. Not just a completed job, a documented one.
You get the paperwork, too
Depending on scope: installation records, circuit or equipment schedules, testing results, and as-built information where produced. See what we hand over on every project.
Common questions
How many cameras do I need?
Depends on the property and what you're trying to cover (entry points, perimeter, specific assets). We do a site survey and propose camera placement based on what actually needs covering.
Can I view footage remotely?
Yes. Remote viewing and alert setup on your phone or computer is part of a standard installation, alongside the NVR/DVR recording setup on site.
Can CCTV be integrated with gates or access control?
Yes, integration with automated gates and access control is a regular part of our security and automation scope. Mention it upfront if you want them working together.
Do you install electric fences?
Yes. Electric fence installation is part of our perimeter security scope, alongside automated gates, CCTV, and access control. We design and wire it as part of the same security system.
Can automation be added to an existing property, or only new builds?
Both. New builds let us design the wiring and control layout together from the start, which is cleaner, but retrofitting smart lighting, climate, and access control into an existing property is a regular part of our scope too. It just needs a site assessment first to plan around the existing circuits.
Will a power outage disable the automation system?
Depends on the setup. Most smart lighting and control panels need power to function, same as any electrical system, so we discuss backup priorities (generator or inverter integration) as part of the design if outage resilience matters to you.
Do you work with a specific smart home platform?
We design the electrical and control-panel infrastructure to work with your chosen app or platform, so you aren't locked into one. Tell us what you're trying to control (lighting, climate, access, scenes) and we scope the electrical side accordingly.
