CCTV Security Systems
CCTV security cameras have traditionally been a strong visual deterrent to criminals as part of business security systems, but if an incident does occur, the footage provides clear evidence of what happened where, when, and who was involved. Modern systems also now provide a range of Artifical Intelligence led uses. The two main types of cameras are ‘fixed’, with a static field of view, and ‘pan / tilt / zoom’ which can rotate horizontally and vertically to be able to view a wider area.
We design, install, service, maintain and repair CCTV systems across a wide range of commercial premises.

About CCTV Security Systems
CCTV security systems can be augmented with a range of sophisticated artificial intelligence software that can provide additional features suitable for specific applications or needs. Examples include heat mapping technology for retailers, hard hat detection systems for construction and industrial sites and face mask detection for use in a range of different locations such as retail or public sector spaces. External applications can provide sophisticated identification and tracking of individuals or vehicles across sites, with alert mechanisms for VIPs or unwelcome visitors.
CCTV security systems can often now be installed using existing cable infrastructure to help save costs, with many cameras now able to operate on low voltage currents drawn from ethernet cables and to transmit images across WiFi or 4G/5G networks.

Customer Testimonials
Right from the outset I realised that Securus were large enough to skilfully spec, design and install our security systems, but small enough to care about me and treat us brilliantly. I suspect that is what most small business owners want.
They were super flexible always friendly and happy to adapt to our last-minute requests.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between an IP and an analogue CCTV system?
What is the difference between an IP and an analogue CCTV system?
An analogue system uses CCTV cameras that are hard wired to a Digital Video Recorder (DVR), whereas an IP system uses a Network Video Recorder (NVR) and can connect to CCTV cameras on your network. This can potentially negate the need for excessive cabling, although cameras can be wired to the NVR where possible. As a general rule IP cameras can have a higher frame rate at higher definition meaning better images are captured. If you would like to know more about the differences, or have any questions about the image quality you might need for your system, please call us to discuss your requirements.

If my broadband connection is not working will my CCTV cameras still record?
This depends on how your CCTV system is configured and what your requirements are. We always ask our clients to explain their objectives before installing any system so we can ensure that you get the right system for your needs. In most cases, it makes sense to ensure the CCTV system will continue to record independently of your internet connection and there are a number of different ways we can achieve this for you, building additional redundancy into the design. For example, if the CCTV cameras are hard-wired to your recorder, NVR or DVR, or have an internal memory, then the recording will be stored, even though you may not be able to access images remotely for a period of time. The activity on your site is still being saved to the hard drive of the recorder.

- Are CCTV cameras static or can they be moved to view things?
Are CCTV cameras static or can they be moved to view things?
There are generally two types of CCTV camera – static and ‘pan, tilt & zoom’ (PTZ). A static CCTV camera gives you a fixed view of an area you wish to monitor or protect; however a PTZ camera can be controlled by a either an operator using a joystick, artificial intelligence software, or linked to detectors or motion sensors to control the movement of the camera. The advantage of a PTZ camera is that you can change the view to cover a larger area where required.
