CCTV Thetford

CCTV Installation Thetford Norfolk (IP24): CCTV systems and security cameras have become commonplace in Thetford over the last ten years, due mainly to ever falling costs and technology improvements. An improperly positioned CCTV system might not however provide the sort of security benefits that your are searching for in your premises. To avoid any design or installment issues and get the best possible performance from your security system it's always best to use a professional Thetford installation contractor with a lot of CCTV experience.

TYPES OF CCTV SYSTEMS

Analogue Equipment - The standard CCTV system which can have a multi-camera installation fed into fixed recording equipment. Digital video recorders (DVR's are used to store the recorded video footage and images, and viewing from a remote location can be done on a computer or smartphone by connecting it to the net. The DVR will have an option to copy stored data across to an external device, like a USB flash drive, or may have a CD or DVD recorder inbuilt to enable images and video to be given to the police as criminal evidence. These do not require an internet connection to function successfully, as they are designed to be standalone systems, and can be used in that way if this is all that is needed.

Internet Protocol (IP) Systems - Wireless cameras connect with local equipment using their own intranet (network), or can connect to an internet router for the transfer of their video signals. Each camera has a unique IP address through which they are connected to a computer system or DVR. One of the advantages with IP systems is the opportunity to record video and images to another location, including your smartphone, so that any relevant footage cannot be deleted by the intruder on site. But, the security features and encryption have to be configured correctly to stop any unwanted viewing of your recordings.

Cloud CCTV Systems - Uses a secure encrypted gateway to record into the "cloud". Any CCTV camera system, IP or analogue, which has an internet connection has the capacity to store their footage to a cloud based server. Cloud recording usually carries an annual or monthly fee which depends on the amount of space required on the servers and whether you need remote monitoring.

LIGHTING FOR CAMERAS

Night vision using infrared LED lighting comes as standard on the majority of CCTV cameras. The images recorded by an infrared may be of a fractionally poorer resolution than that of normal daylight and they will always be in black and white thanks to the peculiarities of low light recording. If you consider that the resolution using infrared cameras is not adequate for your CCTV's requirements, it is possible to install external security lighting to generate a more natural light. In addition to providing brighter lights when any motion is picked up by your equipment, such lights can generate "daylight" conditions for your CCTV cameras.

If you choose to use motion detection security lighting with your CCTV, you must make certain that the light does not shine directly into the eyes of passing motorists, or onto neighbours properties and gardens.

CCTV - THE LAW

You are subject to the rules within the 2018 Data Protection Act, if your CCTV system captures footage of a neighbour's property or any public areas. This doesn't make them illegal to use, it just means that any recordings you make are subject to the appropriate legislation.

The ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) can provide guidance on your legal obligations regarding the monitoring and recording of public or neighbouring areas, which includes targeted information regarding signs to the general public of your use of a CCTV system. By employing a competent CCTV contractor in Thetford for the installation of your CCTV cameras, you can ensure that all legal requirements are adhered to.

If your house is a listed building, is in an area of special scientific interest, is in a national park or is in a conservation area, you'll need to check with the local authorities whether planning permission is required. Provided that your camera and lighting system doesn't protrude more than one metre from your exterior walls, and is at least 2.5 metres above ground level, you will be able to avoid any requirement for planning permission.

CHOOSING THE BEST CCTV SYSTEM

Finding a CCTV camera setup that meets your exact needs shouldn't be an issue regardless what your budget happens to be. This may involve anything from a basic interior camera to capture entry and exit, to a multi-point IP camera system, with HD recording and motion detection. A professional CCTV installation company in Thetford will examine your particular prerequisites and fit a system that suits your circumstances and needs.

A professional Thetford CCTV installation contractor will also stick rigidly to your spending budget and make sure you get the best possible CCTV system you can afford. Even if you haven't got a great deal of cash to spend, you should be able to expect the highest levels of service for any Thetford CCTV installation. When you are gathering your quotations you should make certain you fully understand the service and equipment each of the companies is offering and always get quotes from a minimum of three different local providers.

Cameras that are visible provide a deterrent to criminals, yet hidden systems with appropriate signage can be just as effectual in certain areas. Well-positioned, highly visible and skillfully fitted CCTV cameras have been identified as the biggest deterrent to any potential felon - and that came from the mouths of ex-thieves themselves.

You could find yourself in a situation where you've purchased out-of-the-box CCTV equipment and realised that it isn't as simple as you thought to set up. Don't stress, specialist assistance is available. Even if you haven't bought the camera equipment through them, your local Thetford CCTV installation company will be able to help. Whichever size and brand of CCTV equipment you might have purchased, they'll have the knowledge and expertise to efficiently and quickly get it installed and hooked up.

ACCREDITATION, TRAINING, STANDARDS AND PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS

You should be sure that any CCTV system you set up around your premises and home in Thetford, complies with the BS EN 62676 British Standard which covers this kind of equipment. It specifies minimum functional and performance requirements for CCTV systems and provides a useful outline for contractors, customers and users. CCTV equipment can be used that doesn't have the British Standards kitemark, but the quality and reliability will not have been thoroughly tested and you may not have recourse after the installation if it doesn't meet up with your high expectations.

To guarantee you're using a respectable CCTV company you should watch out for membership or affiliation with a recognised trade organisation within the field. In the UK the primary security industry trade associations include:

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) - In Great Britain's security and CCTV industry, the BSIA (British Security Industry Association) is one of the highest regarded trade bodies. BSIA members are reputable security contractors and companies who comply with all British Standards and ISO 9000 regulations, and observe the industry's Code of Practice.

The Security Institute - The Security Institute is respected and recognised within the security industry, and as a result has the largest membership of professional companies and contractors in the UK. It promotes and supports professional competence, best working practices and setting the highest possible security standards for all its membership, of which it has more than 4000 affiliates from all areas of the security sector.

Secure By Design (SBD) - Secure by Design is a police security initiative with an aim to reduce crime. Its goals are to strengthen the physical security of all properties by working alongside architects, construction firms and security installers.

The National Security Inspectorate - The National Security Inspectorate is the most respected independent professional organisation for CCTV installation, security and fire safety firms throughout Great Britain. The vetting procedure is stringent and involves a company demonstrating their proficiency in the planning, installation and maintenance of an array of security and fire safety equipment. A company also has to supply records that relate to; company and personal liability insurances, staff vetting and training, equipment calibration and maintenance, and also must show that the business premises are suitable for the NSI's exacting specifications. Within the security sector members of the NSI are accepted by fire & rescue services, the police and insurance providers in the UK as having the topmost standards.

There is a fair likelihood that somebody you know in Thetford will have had CCTV installed recently, so you could ask friends, family and workmates for recommendations of CCTV installers they've previously used. It is acknowledged by roughly eighty per cent of householders in Thetford, that a word of mouth endorsement is better than any other kind of recommendation. When you've prepared a shortlist of companies you should ask them to price up the job - you will want a minimum of three estimates.

Dummy/Fake CCTV Cameras Thetford

If you don't want to go to the lengths of having CCTV fitted or can't afford the considerable cost of a full-blown security system, you could perhaps think about sticking up a few fake/dummy CCTV cameras to help discourage intruders or prevent crime. You could reap the benefits of having dummy/fake CCTV cameras installed, whether you are a business or home owner in Thetford, and obviously when compared to the genuine article, they are considerably cheaper. The dummy cameras that are available to purchase today are very realistic, and they're hard to distinguish from the genuine article for all but the most inexperienced eye.

I've often seen claims that a career criminal will not be deceived by a fake camera and that dummy CCTV will only deter the opportunistic thief. A fake camera, will however, make your home far less appealing than a totally unshielded one having no cameras at all. And additionally, a substantial percentage of crimes in Thetford are indeed opportunist, so there are certainly benefits to be gained.

In Thetford (or anyplace else in the UK for that matter), most criminals are generally looking for an easy target, and there is a high probability that they'll look elsewhere for easier pickings if you can make them think twice about entering your home or premises.

Fake CCTV cameras can be purchased in all shapes and sizes and prices range from as little as £6 to £30 or £40 or more for elaborate versions. They are also available for use both internally and externally.

Workplace CCTV Thetford

CCTV could be installed in a workplace for a number of different reasons:

• To prevent damages to company property.
• To make sure that health and safety practices are being complied with.
• To reduce misconduct.
• To monitor employee performance.
• To prevent or reduce theft, violence or other offences.

As mutual trust is vital in employer/employee relationships, this should be conducted with a fair amount of care. Employees have to be kept fully informed about what recorded footage will be used for, how long recordings will be kept, what information is going to be recorded and stored, how any recording will be carried out and what the intended use of recorded images is.

CCTV and Data Protection

If your CCTV system will record images of a next door neighbours' garden, a public street, an alley, or anywhere outside your property's boundary in Thetford, it will be subject to the current data protection laws for the UK, and these need to be closely followed.

This doesn't mean that you're actually committing a crime by doing this, but according to the law you're a "data controller", and therefore you must comply with the Data Protection Act and meet its legal requirements.

You're still allowed to film such images, provided that you understand that you must show that you are data protection compliant, and are showing respect for the rights of those who you are filming without exception.

If your CCTV system is recording images beyond your property perimeter:

• You must only film necessary footage, and never more than is actually required.
• You must put up signs to indicate that filming is occurring.
• You must erase pictures of people if they ask you to do this.
• If asked by the ICO, you must be able to explain the rationale for collecting these pictures.
• You must comply with SARs (subject access requests) when within a month of being received.
• You should erase the footage routinely, and only keep hold of necessary.
• You must have a justifiable and clear basis for recording such images.
• You must securely hold any recorded footage, and ensure that nobody else can view it.
• You should use the system only for your declared purpose, and not permit family members or others to use it improperly.

Does CCTV Help Prevent Crime?

A common question that is often asked when considering home security is "Do CCTV cameras prevent crime?" Most experts would say yes, they certainly do. A number of research has been carried out in Great Britain to ascertain whether this is the case or not, and the results have been quite interesting.

Based on research done by a prominent insurance firm who spoke to former thieves, the 2 things that are most likely to forestall a break-in are the presence of barking dogs and CCTV cameras. When contemplating a crime or break-in, the key worry for the offender seems to be not attract attention to themselves.

Further studies cited by the College of Policing indicate that crime can indeed be lessened by the existence of CCTV surveillance in both public and private environments. Based upon forty one independent studies, about 16% of criminal offences were averted by CCTV cameras. The reductions were even greater with respect to crime on vehicles, where an extraordinary 23% reduction was reported. When the cameras are actively monitored, this effect seems to be even more noticeable.

Crooks are mainly put off by:

• The awareness that their chances of being caught or arrested is increased.
• The actual risk of being arrested.
• The increased use of a protected area by the public.
• The fact that added security precautions are being taken by possible crime victims.

CCTV Thetford - Dome Cameras

Whether it is for home security or for a commercial premises in Thetford, one of the decisions that you will have to make when considering CCTV cameras is what design to buy. A dome camera is one of the variations that you may think about, and we will be looking at these in more depth in this section. The simple fact that they can be either wall or ceiling mounted gives them a real edge over other standard types of camera, and that means that they are one of the most favoured designs of CCTV camera available today. They can go mostly unnoticed in out-of-reach places, away from the risk of vandalism or damage.

If you run a retail outlet, a grocery store or a restaurant in Thetford, you will be rightly be concerned with security measures for your premises, and dome cameras will help you with this. Since issues with theft are not restricted to customers, but also with employees, any extra assistance is extremely welcome.

Any individual looking at a dome camera would have trouble knowing which way it was pointing, since these gadgets generally have tinted glass. This feeling of uncertainty will make most potential criminals think twice about stealing on your premises or property, which is all you can wish for.

Clearly, a dome camera can be a hugely important security measure for your business premises or home in Thetford, for both stopping crime and documenting it as hard evidence to be used in a prosecution.
