CCTV Systems

RFC Fire and Security Systems supply and install CCTV systems for businesses which involves a mix of technical expertise, understanding of your security needs, and knowledge of legal and ethical considerations. Here are some of the steps and considerations we keep in mind when offering CCTV systems for commercial properties:

  Conduct a site visit to evaluate factors like lighting conditions, entry/exit points, and potential blind spots.

• System Design:
  Based on the assessment, design a CCTV system that addresses the client's specific security needs.
  Select camera types (fixed, dome, PTZ), resolutions (HD, Full HD, 4K), and placement for optimal coverage.
  Consider advanced features like night vision, motion detection, facial recognition, and remote access.

• Equipment Selection:
  Choose reliable and high-quality cameras, DVRs/NVRs (recording devices), cables, and power supplies.

• Integration and Analytics:
  Integrate the CCTV system with other security systems if applicable, such as access control or alarm systems.
  Consider using video analytics to enable features like motion detection alerts and people counting.

• Compliance and Legal Considerations:

  Inform clients about the necessity of signage to notify individuals that surveillance is in place.
