CCTV

Clearer visibility. Smarter security. Professionally installed.

Protect your property with a camera system designed around what you need to see. We design, install and configure CCTV for homes, businesses and industrial sites, including cameras, recording, cabling, remote viewing and user training.

Positioning and coverage planning

Each camera is given a job before it's given a bracket. A camera meant to recognise a visitor at the front door is placed differently from one watching a whole car park.

  • Entrances, driveways and side gates
  • Reception areas and service counters
  • Stockrooms and loading docks
  • Fence lines, yards and perimeters

Megapixels aren't the whole story

A higher-resolution camera does not on its own make footage useful. Lighting, mounting height, viewing angle, lens choice and how fast people or vehicles move all decide what you can actually see. We don't promise that any camera will identify faces or number plates at any distance — identification views are designed for a specific spot.

Indoor, outdoor and lens choice

Indoor domes and turrets suit ceilings and walls; weather-rated bullets and turrets suit eaves, poles and walls exposed to rain and sun. Wide lenses show more area with less detail; narrower or adjustable lenses trade area for detail at distance.

Low light and night recording

Infrared gives usable black-and-white images in darkness; colour low-light models rely on some ambient or supplementary lighting. Performance varies by model, so we check it against each location's lighting rather than relying on brochure claims.

Recording and retention

Continuous recording keeps everything; event-based recording keeps motion or detections and stretches storage further. Retention is planned from camera count, bitrate, recording mode and the number of days you want — then checked against usable recorder storage.

  • Continuous, scheduled or event-based recording
  • Retention target set from your requirements
  • Storage sized with headroom, not guesswork

Viewing, access and footage export

Live and recorded footage can be viewed on phones and computers. Users get only the permissions they need, remote access is set up securely with unique credentials, and staff are shown how to search the timeline and export a clip when something happens.

Upgrades and integration

We can assess existing cameras, cabling and recorders and reuse what is suitable. Where the selected equipment supports it, CCTV can be linked with access control and alarms — for example, bookmarking footage when a door is forced. Integration is confirmed for the specific products, never assumed.

How it fits together

Camera → network → recording → viewing

  1. Camera

    Captures the view it was positioned and configured for.

  2. Network

    Cabling and PoE switching carry video and power.

  3. Recording

    An NVR or console stores footage for the retention target.

  4. Viewing

    Authorised users watch live, search and export on phone or desktop.

Example

An example camera coverage plan

Each camera has a stated purpose. Detail views are close and narrow; overview views are wide.

Building

Entry — identify
Car park — overview
Loading dock
Stockroom

How Meraki MV records

Storage on the camera, management in the cloud

  1. Camera with storage

    Each MV camera records to its own on-board storage.

  2. Network

    PoE switching powers the camera and connects it to the internet.

  3. Meraki dashboard

    Configuration, users and footage review are managed in the cloud.

  4. Viewing

    Authorised users view and export footage remotely.
