CCTV systems have many possible applications across nearly all industries. Designing and installing any size of CCTV system requries careful consideration of many aspects. Photuris can take all aspects into account to provide your site with a carefully engineered system to protect your site, employees and members of the public. Including ongoing maintenenace.
Planning and System Design
CCTV cameras have become a ubiquitous presence across the UK, with almost every street corner now under surveillance. It’s no surprise then that businesses are increasingly seeking similar coverage for their premises, whether it be factories, offices, car parks, or service yards. While CCTV systems were initially designed to catch criminal activity, the role of these systems has evolved considerably. Nowadays, 50% of all systems we install are specifically designed to monitor work areas from a health and safety perspective. This helps to reduce false claims in the workplace, protect the employer, and, in some cases, safeguard employees as well.
At Photuris, we offer advanced end-to-end security and surveillance solutions tailored to meet your specific needs. By combining hardware and software from our extensive range of trusted integrators, we create customised solutions that are as unique as your business. Whether you’re looking to secure a small retail space, a medium-sized warehouse, or a large transport facility, we have the expertise and resources to deliver.
In the transport industry, for example, CCTV systems are being used to manage security via analytics, triggering alarms when suspicious activity is detected. Similarly, factories and depots are maximising security at entry points using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), ensuring that only authorised vehicles are allowed access. For secure compounds, we provide perimeter detection systems that utilise thermal and radar detection technologies to offer robust protection against intruders.
We’re equipped to carry out national site surveys and provide full system designs in line with the latest standards. Our team works closely with you to plan and prepare tailored concepts, creating detailed cost plans and quotations for even the most complex integrated systems. Whether it’s a straightforward installation or a large-scale, multifaceted solution, Photuris has the capability to meet your security and surveillance needs, ensuring that your site is always protected.
Video Analytics and Integration
Photuris is highly experienced in configuring and implementing advanced Video Management Systems (VMS) that integrate smoothly with a wide range of camera manufacturers and network setups. Whether you’re using traditional CCTV cameras or the latest AI-powered systems, we have the expertise to provide you with a solution that is tailored to meet your security and safety needs. Our VMS solutions are designed to maximise the potential of your existing infrastructure while ensuring they are adaptable to future requirements as your needs evolve.
These advanced video management systems go beyond traditional surveillance. They can be integrated with cutting-edge video analytics and AI-powered cameras, offering capabilities such as real-time event detection. This integration enables immediate notifications to be sent to on-site or off-site security teams when an intrusion or even a fire is detected. By using AI-driven cameras and analytics, our systems can effectively differentiate between various types of activity, significantly reducing false alarms and ensuring that only genuine threats are highlighted.
One standout feature offered by Photuris is the ability to incorporate flame detection cameras within CCTV systems. This allows us to provide fire detection coverage across large indoor and outdoor areas. By using video analytics, our systems can detect a fire at its earliest stages—whether that be a small flame or the presence of smoke—giving you the advantage of early detection before the situation escalates. This is particularly useful in expansive environments like warehouses, factories, or open-air sites where traditional fire alarms may not provide the same level of coverage.
Moreover, many of the VMS solutions we use can be integrated with access control systems, creating a comprehensive monitoring solution. This integration provides valuable insights to track and record the movement of staff, students, or members of the public across your site. Combining video surveillance with access control helps improve safety and security by allowing you to monitor who is entering or leaving specific areas. This can be vital for both operational efficiency and risk management, enabling you to respond quickly if an incident arises.
At Photuris, we don’t just install video systems—we create intelligent, integrated solutions designed to enhance both security and fire safety across your site. Whether you’re looking to implement advanced video analytics, integrate AI-powered cameras, or combine your system with access control, we ensure that your setup is tailored to your specific needs. We also provide ongoing support and maintenance to ensure your system is always functioning at its best, ready to provide real-time alerts and insights whenever they are needed.
