Over recent years CCTV has become a vital tool in the battle against crime, high profile cases where CCTV has helped track down a criminal are broadcast almost daily. CCTV has become a part of our lives, and a very crucial part at that.

Abatis Fire & Security Ltd embraces the latest technologies in CCTV adding effective tools in detecting, preventing and solving crimes. High quality cameras are combined with Digital Video Recorders capable of getting the best out of the camera images. It’s important to give consistent levels of quality throughout the system and once again the design is crucial when considering a CCTV system.

Location of CCTV cameras is the most important aspect of the design, and failure here will result in a disappointing end product. Abatis takes great care in designing CCTV systems, not considering the easiest location for a camera but selecting the best location for a camera, and then selecting the most appropriate camera for the application. Of course this is further influenced depending on environment, purpose and, of course, budget.

As important as the cameras, is the recorder. Get the recorder wrong, and no matter how good the mages, the end result will disappoint. Abatis use recorders manufactured and, crucially, supported in the UK. The units come with 12 month advance replacement so in the event of a fault, you’re assured of a swift replacement. We will always recommend an appropriately sized hard drive size as it’s the size of the hard drive that ultimately limits the quality and duration of recorded images.

CCTV can be used in almost any environment and is widely considered to be one of the most effective methods of reducing crime.

Abatis can supply:

  • cctv control roomStand Alone CCTV - Viewed and controlled locally on site, this is the most common form of CCTV system.
  • Remotely Viewable CCTV - Many of the latest DVR’s are equipped with the capability to review the live and recorded images over local networks and via your internet connection. This can be a vital tool to assist lone workers,or simply to keep an eye on your premises while you’re away.
  • Event Driven CCTV - Event driven CCTV applications is where recording of the DVR is triggered by movement in the areas where the cameras are located. This can be achieved by using intelligent movement detection on either the camera or DVR, or by utilizing external Passive Infra Red detectors (typically found on Intruder Alarm Systems). When movement is detected, the record rate can be programmed to increase in spped and quality, enhancing the quality of images that may be useful in criminal proceedings.
  • Remotely Monitored CCTV - Remotely monitored CCTV is usually a hybrid of stand alone and event driven, except that the detection usually triggers an alarm to an alarm receiving centre, which can review the images and decide on appropriate action. This may include verbally challenging the intruder, calling a security guard or key holder, or even the police.
  • Networked CCTV - Viewable over a local network, most modern DVR’s afford this basic connectivity via the your local PC.
