CCTV installation contractor — IP video surveillance with retention-sized storage

Scope

Scope of work

Coverage is designed from what each camera has to do — detect, observe, recognise or identify, at a stated distance — which sets the camera's resolution, lens and mounting, and from that the count. Low-light performance, weather rating and vandal resistance are matched to the location. Storage is calculated from the camera count, resolution, frame rate and the retention period the client needs, with the VMS and any analytics or number-plate recognition specified on top. We supply and install the cameras, cabling, switches, NVRs or servers, the VMS and the monitoring positions.

How it is delivered — and what you receive

Every camera's field of view is checked and adjusted on the monitor at commissioning, by day and by night, and the recorded retention is verified against the calculation rather than assumed. User accounts, export procedures and the retention policy are set up with the client, because recordings carry personal-data obligations. The client receives the camera schedule with positions and views, the network diagram and the storage calculation.
