CCTV Alsager

CCTV Installation Alsager Cheshire (ST7): A camera-based surveillance system that is now more often seen in Alsager, closed-circuit television (usually known as CCTV) is used to monitor business premises, domestic properties, land, buildings and public areas like leisure centres, council buildings and parks. Quite simply, a CCTV system is a network of wireless or wired cameras which transmit recordings via signals or a wi-fi connection to monitors on which they can be viewed as static images or moving video. Professional CCTV installation is generally recommended in Alsager, since there are numerous different kinds of CCTV systems available to buy, which offer different features and need to be installed in varying ways.

TYPES OF CCTV SYSTEMS

Analogue CCTV - These are the conventional systems which can record and monitor activity over a multi-camera installation. DVR's are used for storing the recorded video and images, and viewing from a remote location is possible on a tablet or smartphone by linking it to the net. The DVR should have the option to copy the data stored to an external storage device, like a USB drive, or might have an inbuilt CD or DVD recorder to permit video and images to be given to the relevant authorities as criminal evidence. The internet connection is optional, since these CCTV installations are designed to work as a standalone system.

IP Cameras - Wireless cameras hook up to a local device via their own network (intranet), or can be connected to a router for the transmission of their video signals. An IP address is assigned to each camera within the system, and for monitoring and recording purposes these will be connected to a PC or DVR. IP systems also send notifications, pictures and video footage direct to your smart phone, consequently adding an extra security layer by stopping an intruder from destroying evidence on an on-site DVR. To stop any uncertified viewing of the video and images, the security and encryption have to be configured correctly.

Cloud Systems - Uses a secure encrypted gateway to record into "cloud" storage. Any CCTV system, analogue or IP, which has got a web connection is able to store their footage to a cloud based server. Cloud recording typically carries a monthly or annual fee which depends on the amount of space required on servers and whether or not you require 24 hour monitoring.

LIGHTING FOR CAMERAS

So that they can work effectively in conditions where light is limited, today's CCTV cameras often come complete with built-in infrared lights. Infrared cameras record black and white images but will still produce similar resolution as that recorded in normal daytime light. If you find your night vision resolution doesn't meet your expectations, you can always fit specialist lamps to generate a natural light source which is more appropriate for your CCTV system. These provide the best possible options for recording colours under artificial light conditions, and can be configured to only turn on if movement is picked up by the camera.

Be careful if you're using security lighting with CCTV, so as not to irritate neighbours or shine directly onto a road.

CCTV AND THE LAW

You are no longer exempt from the Data Protection Act, if you have household CCTV cameras that record across the perimeter of your property, into a neighbouring garden or a public area. This does not mean that they're illegal, it just means that any video footage that you capture is subject to the appropriate legislation.

The ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) can provide guidance on your legal obligations concerning the recording and monitoring of public or neighbouring areas, which includes particular instructions regarding signage to the public of your use of a CCTV system. To forestall any problems with your legal obligations it is wise to employ a reputable and certified CCTV specialist in Alsager to install your CCTV cameras and any related products.

Planning permission for any CCTV placed on the exterior of your home will need to be checked if you are in a place of scientific interest, you are putting them onto a listed building, you live in a conservation area or you live within a national park. Planning permission can be avoided on the majority of other homes in Alsager providing that the cameras don't protrude from your exterior walls by more than 1 metre and they're fitted at least 2.5 mtrs from ground level.

SELECTING THE BEST CCTV SYSTEM

Whatever your budget you should be able to find a CCTV security system that fits your requirements. At the cheap end of the spectrum this could mean just a single camera to keep watch on your front entrance, whilst at the top end there might be multi-camera systems with high-spec motion detection alarms. By using a professional Alsager CCTV specialist, you can make sure that you get a system that stays within the budget you have set, while at the same time meeting your specific wants and needs.

A genuine Alsager CCTV installation firm will also adhere rigidly to your stated budget and make certain that you end up with the most suitable CCTV security system for your price range. Irrespective of how much money you decide to commit to your CCTV system, a good company will provide you with the best possible service, from sales to installation and maintenance. You should not accept the first quote you are offered because it is always sound practice to obtain at least three estimates from different local CCTV companies.

Certain premises in Alsager may require visible cameras to scare off burglars, whilst others might require concealed cameras. Well-positioned, highly visible and skillfully installed CCTV cameras have been identified as the strongest deterrent to any would-be felon - and that came from the mouths of former burglars themselves.

Off-the-shelf CCTV equipment is of course easily obtainable on the internet and in electronics outlets, so you might have already purchased some equipment and discovered that you need specialist help with installing it. A local Alsager CCTV company will be willing to help even if you've not purchased the equipment from them. They will be conversant with all brands of CCTV cameras and will offer a professional service to fit and setup your system.

STANDARDS, TRAINING, ACCREDITATION AND PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS

You should always look for CCTV cameras that carry the British Standard BS EN 62676 for installation on your Alsager home. It specifies minimum performance and requirements for CCTV systems and provides a framework for shoppers, fitters and users. CCTV equipment can be fitted that hasn't got the British Standards mark, but the reliability and quality won't have been analyzed and you might not have recourse after it has been installed if it fails to meet your high expectations.

Before choosing a CCTV company to install your system, it is advisable to ensure that you hire one with membership or affiliation with an accredited trade organisation. This should guarantee that you get a high quality installation. The main trade associations to look out for in Great Britain are:

Secure By Design (SBD) - Launched with the purpose of reducing crime across the UK, the Secured by Design is a government backed police security initiative. They work along with builders, designers and installers to improve the security of domestic and commercial properties all over Great Britain.

The National Security Inspectorate - As an independent trade body, the NSI promotes the security sector by showcasing top quality CCTV and security firms in Great Britain. Any company wishing to become a member of the NSI has to undergo a demanding vetting procedure, during which they must show their ability in designing, maintaining and installing CCTV equipment and any related security devices that may be involved in the scope of their work. A security must also prove that they have trained and vetted employees properly, own suitable vehicles and equipment for their field of expertise, and that their business premises are appropriate for promoting the security industry in its best light. Membership is accepted as the highest possible standard by insurance companies, fire & rescue services and police forces in the United Kingdom and the European Union.

The Security Institute (SI) - The Security Institute (or SI) is recognised and respected within the security sector, and hence holds the largest membership of security technicians and contractors in Great Britain. It promotes professional competence, best working practices and the highest standards in security for all its membership, of which it has approximately 4,500 affiliates in every aspect of the security industry.

The British Security Industry Association - The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) is a trade body for the security industry within Great Britain. The BSIA is the only professional organisation that requires its members to be independently inspected, and requires that they abide by ISO 9000 regulations, and stick to all the appropriate security industry Codes of Practice.

It is said that a large proportion of homeowners see endorsements from friends and family as the most trustworthy source of information before buying any product, or accessing any service, so if you've got a friend or family member who has recently had CCTV installed, you could ask for a recommendation or reference. Something like eighty per cent of people in Alsager would consider a word of mouth recommendation above any other form of review or endorsement, therefore you should use this to your advantage whenever this opportunity presents itself. To get an idea of prices you will need to obtain at least 2 or 3 estimates from your list of potential CCTV companies.

Dummy CCTV Cameras Alsager

If you do not want to go to the lengths of having CCTV installed or cannot afford the outlay of a comprehensive security system, you could maybe consider putting up a few dummy/fake CCTV cameras to help deter thieves or prevent criminal activity. Dummy CCTV cameras are considerably cheaper than the real thing, and you can benefit from having dummy CCTV cameras fitted, whether you are a business or home owner in Alsager. Nowadays, the fake cameras that are available to purchase are very realistic, and to the untrained eye, are difficult to distinguish from the real thing.

I have frequently seen claims that an experienced criminal will never be deceived by a phony camera and that dummy CCTV is only likely to deter the opportunist burglar. A dummy camera, should however, make your premises far less appealing to crooks than a completely unshielded one with no camera whatsoever. And also, a substantial percentage of criminal activity in Alsager is undoubtedly opportunist, so there are certainly benefits to be gained.

The vast majority of criminals in Alsager, or anywhere else for that matter, love an easy target, and if you can make them think twice about breaking into your home, there's a fairly decent chance that they'll go elsewhere to find easier pickings.

Dummy CCTV cameras are available in all shapes and sizes and range in price from as little as £6 to £30 or £40 for more elaborate models. They are also available for use both internally and externally.

Can CCTV Lower the Cost of My Insurance?

This is a question that we are asked almost every day, and regrettably our reply is typically "No". A modest discount may be conceded by certain insurance companies, where CCTV is installed, but usually only when it is being used in conjunction with a burglar alarm or more sophisticated security system. Unless a burglar alarm is professionally installed, a lot of insurers will still not give you a discount.

The amount of insurance you actually pay is mainly determined by the postcode where you live, the property value and the level of contents insurance you require. In fact, the current crime rate in your area is the overriding consideration when it comes to home insurance.

You could try looking at it from the insurers point of view, and the fact remains that the majority of homes in Alsager still do not have CCTV cameras, and the insurance company could question why you are putting one in. It might be that there has been increased criminal activity in your area and you are taking extra precautions - this might be viewed as an increased risk by insurers.

When push comes to shove, the real reasons for installing CCTV ought to be that it increases your feeling of security, it discourages burglars and it provides evidence in the event of a break-in or offence.

Does CCTV Reduce Crime?

"Do CCTV cameras help to stop crime?" Is a question which is regularly asked when considering both home and business security. It appears that most experts would say yes, they definitely do. Over the last few years a number of studies have been carried out to establish whether this is in fact the case, and some illuminating results have emerged from this research.

According to research by a leading insurance firm who actually spoke to former criminals, the 2 things most likely to forestall a burglary are barking dogs and the presence of CCTV cameras. Not attracting any attention seems to be the prime concern of the perpetrator when contemplating a crime or break-in.

Further studies cited by the College of Policing suggest that crime can definitely be lessened by the existence of CCTV surveillance cameras in both public and private environments. Based on forty one separate studies, around 16% of crimes were averted by CCTV cameras on average. For crimes relating to vehicles, the figures were even more remarkable, with a reduction in the region of 23%. When the CCTV cameras are actively monitored, this impact seems to be even more apparent.

It's believed that felons are mostly put off by:

• The real risk of being recognised.
• The fact that added precautions are being taken by possible crime victims.
• Their perception of the chance of being caught.
• The encouraged public use of an area.
