Shorter days and darker evenings change the security picture for a lot of commercial premises – more activity happening in the dark and outdoor cameras and lighting that need to actually cope with low light rather than just look adequate in daylight.
It's a good time of year to check whether your CCTV, alarm and access control are still doing the job as the seasons change, particularly around yards, loading bays and staff entrances that get less natural light.
Security for exposed or elevated commercial sites
Premises on exposed or elevated sites face harsher weather conditions on external equipment – wind-driven rain into camera housings and sensor enclosures and more strain on cabling that isn't properly protected.
We factor that exposure into equipment specification and sealing at survey stage, rather than fitting standard equipment and expecting it to hold up the same as it would on a sheltered site.
Standalone systems versus integrated security
A standalone CCTV system, a standalone alarm and standalone access control can each work individually, but they miss what integration offers – an alarm trigger that automatically brings up the right camera, or access control data that explains an alarm event rather than leaving you guessing.
We design integrated systems by default, but we're equally happy to work with what you already have if a full re-design isn't necessary – the survey will tell us which approach genuinely suits your premises.
