CCTV Installation Dorking

CCTV Installation Dorking Surrey (RH4): With ever reducing costs and technology improvements, CCTV cameras have become common in Dorking on both domestic and commercial buildings. Nevertheless a badly designed and installed CCTV system may not supply the security benefits that you're searching for. It's recommended that if you are looking at installing security cameras on your home or business, you use the experience and knowledge of a CCTV installation specialist in Dorking.

TYPES OF CCTV SYSTEMS

Analogue Equipment - These are the conventional camera setups that can record and monitor over a multi-camera installation. Analogue systems can be installed to provide constant recording of video or take still frames and transmit them to a local Digital Video Recorder (DVR) for viewing and storage. The DVR will have an option to copy the data stored to an external storage device, such as a USB drive, or may have a DVD or CD recorder inbuilt to allow video and images to be given to the authorities as criminal evidence. These are designed to work as a standalone CCTV system without the need for access to the internet.

Internet Protocol (IP) Systems - Internet Protocol cameras hook up to a wireless intranet or internet connection to transmit their images. Each camera has its own unique IP address and connects to a specific gateway on a computer system or DVR. Having the capacity to send a live stream to your smartphone is a major advantage of IP systems, and the video and images can be saved onto your device for extra security. But, the security features and encryption must be configured properly to prevent any unsanctioned viewing of your recorded material.

Cloud Systems - These systems record to a remote storage location based in the internet "cloud". Any CCTV system, analogue or IP, which has an internet connection is able to store its video footage to cloud based storage. Cloud recording normally carries a monthly fee which is determined by how much space is required on servers and whether you require 24 hour monitoring by a security company.

LIGHTING FOR CAMERAS

Most CCTV cameras on offer today come with some form of built-in infrared lighting to support recording for even the darkest situations. The images captured by an infrared might be of a fractionally lower resolution than those taken in normal daylight and they'll also always be in black and white due to the basic characteristics of low light recording. It is possible, if you find the night vision resolution is too low for your requirements, to install special lamps that generate a more natural light source for your CCTV cameras. When combined with a CCTV security system these lamps provide a natural looking light source and can also be configured to light up only when a camera senses motion in its field of view.

If you are using motion sensor lights with a CCTV camera system, you have to ensure that the light doesn't overly shine on neighbour's property and gardens, or shine directly into the eyes of passing motorists.

CCTV AND THE LAW

CCTV cameras that monitor or record your own property don't come under the Data Protection Act except when they capture a neighbouring property or a public area; regardless of how modest the captured area might be. This doesn't mean you are not permitted to use your CCTV system or monitor activity on your property, however it does mean any video recordings must be safeguarded in agreement with the regulations.

There are specific regulations on informational signage for your CCTV camera system if you're going to be recording a public area or property belonging to another individual, and you should contact the Information Commissioner's Office for advice. To circumvent any issues from the legal obligations it is recommended that you use a reputable and professional CCTV installation service in Dorking to install your CCTV cameras and any associated products.

You shouldn't require planning permission for your CCTV cameras unless you are in a place of special scientific interest, you live in a conservation area, you're mounting them onto a listed building or you live within a national park. You will be able to avoid planning permission if you camera and lighting system is installed at least 2.5m above ground level and doesn't protrude more than a metre from your walls.

PICKING THE RIGHT CCTV SYSTEM

You should be able to identify a CCTV camera system that fits your security specifications and also meets your spending budget. Your circumstances might dictate that all you require is a single CCTV camera to cover your front entrance, whilst a larger residence might need a selection of cameras with motion detector technology which is connected to a security firm's monitoring service. A scrupulous and certified CCTV installer in Dorking will only recommend equipment that fits your circumstances.

They'll also make certain that your stated budget isn't overstretched or try to palm you off with equipment that's not really required. You should expect the highest levels of service for any installation from a professional CCTV installer, irrespective of your budget. Do not meekly accept the first quotation you're offered as it is always good practice to obtain a minimum of three price quotes from different security companies.

You may want to keep your CCTV cameras hidden from onlookers, or conversely you may require them to act as an obvious deterrent by being more visible. Remember that interviews held with ex-burglars by insurance companies and police show that skillfully installed CCTV is the number one factor in making a would be burglar think about a less protected home.

Maybe you've bought a CCTV system from an online retailer or an electronics store, and require expert assistance in its fitting. Your local Dorking alarm and security service will still fit your CCTV equipment, even if you didn't purchase it from them. Whichever model and size of system you might have purchased, they'll have the expertise and knowledge to quickly and efficiently get it installed.

TRAINING, STANDARDS, ACCREDITATION AND PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS

You should watch out for CCTV systems that carry the British Standard (BS EN 62676) for the protection of your Dorking home. This British Standard kitemark lays out how well a CCTV system is supposed to perform and offers instructions on its installation to security companies. Equipment can be installed that doesn't have the British Standards kitemark, however the reliability and quality won't have been tested and you may not have any recourse after the installation if it doesn't meet your high expectations.

The security industry is highly regulated and any competent CCTV company ought to have membership of a trade organisation, or be affiliated to one or more established security associations. The primary trade bodies to look for are:

The Security Institute (SI) - The Security Institute is recognised and respected within the security industry, and thus has the largest membership of professional technicians and contractors in the United Kingdom. It sets very high standards for its three thousand plus membership in all aspects of the security sector by the promotion of best working practices, and guarantees the professional competency of its registered members.

The National Security Inspectorate (NSI) - As an independent UK trade association, the NSI promotes the security industry by endorsing high quality CCTV and security firms throughout the country. The vetting procedure is exacting and includes a company showcasing their competence in the planning, maintenance and installation of an array of security and fire safety equipment. They also have to show suitability of vehicles, employee vetting, installation equipment, insurances, training records, and even the suitability of the company's premises, are all covered by their rigorous codes of practice. Police forces, insurance companies, and fire & rescue services in the United Kingdom all recognise members of the NSI as upholding the highest possible standards within the security industry.

Secure By Design - Secure by Design is an official police security initiative aimed at reducing crime. The SBD liaises closely with building firms, security companies and designers to improve the security of commercial and domestic buildings all over the country.

The British Security Industry Association - The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) is a trade body for the security industry in the UK.
