How Advanced ANPR Systems Can Enhance Security for Irish Businesses

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 14:54:30 GMT

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems are becoming an essential part of security strategies for many businesses across Ireland. These advanced systems offer a high level of security, particularly for enterprises with large parking areas or those operating in sectors such as business parks, manufacturing, warehousing, high-end residential, pharmaceuticals, and data centers. As a security company specialising in CCTV and integrated security solutions, we’ve seen how ANPR can significantly enhance the security of Irish businesses.

How ANPR Systems Work

ANPR systems use advanced camera technology combined with software that can read and record vehicle registration plates. These systems capture images of vehicles as they enter and exit a property, then process the number plate data in real time. The captured data can be cross-referenced with a database of approved or flagged vehicles, allowing businesses to automatically grant or deny access based on pre-set criteria.

Benefits of ANPR for Irish Businesses

Enhanced Security and Access Control: For businesses with large parking areas or multiple access points, ANPR systems provide a robust method of controlling who enters and exits the premises. By automating the process of vehicle identification, ANPR systems reduce the risk of unauthorised access. This is particularly important in situations where security breaches can have serious consequences.
Efficient Management of Parking Areas: In environments like business parks or high-end residential complexes, managing parking spaces effectively is important. ANPR systems can automate the allocation of parking spaces, ensuring that only authorised vehicles have access. This reduces the need for manual checks making it easier to manage parking resources and improve overall site security.
Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts: ANPR systems enable real-time monitoring of all vehicles entering and exiting a site, making them invaluable for businesses in warehousing, logistics, and high-security environments. They can automatically alert security if a watchlisted vehicle attempts entry, enabling immediate action—crucial for data centers and pharmaceutical facilities where security risks are heightened.
Improved Customer and Employee Safety: For businesses that serve customers on-site or have a large workforce, such as retail complexes or industrial facilities, ANPR systems enhance safety by ensuring that only authorised vehicles are allowed access. This helps to create a secure environment for both employees and visitors, reducing the risk of incidents like theft or vandalism.
Data Collection and Analysis: ANPR systems also offer valuable data collection capabilities. Businesses can track vehicle movement patterns, peak access times, and frequency of visits. This data can be used to optimise operational efficiency, manage traffic flow, and enhance overall security planning. For example, a business park can analyse data to improve entry and exit procedures during busy periods, reducing congestion and improving security checks.

ANPR systems in conjunction with CCTV offer a powerful solution for enhancing security. From managing large parking areas in business parks to securing high-risk environments ANPR technology provides real-time monitoring, efficient access control, and valuable data insights. As a trusted provider of security solutions, TEC Security can help Irish businesses implement ANPR systems that are tailored to their specific needs, ensuring a secure and well-managed environment.

The Importance of Integrated Security Solutions for Irish Enterprises

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 14:52:36 GMT

Protecting sensitive data is critical for any enterprise. This task requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both physical and digital security. As a well-established security company in Ireland, known for providing top-quality CCTV and integrated security solutions, TEC Security understand the importance of securing all aspects of your business to protect sensitive information.

The Importance of Securing Physical Assets

Physical security plays a significant role in protecting sensitive data. Unauthorised access to facilities, server rooms, or offices can lead to data breaches, theft, or damage to critical equipment. Traditional security measures are no longer sufficient on their own. Advanced solutions, such as CCTV systems and access control, are essential in ensuring that only authorised personnel can access sensitive areas.

CCTV systems provide continuous monitoring of key locations, allowing businesses to detect and respond to security incidents in real time. When integrated with access control systems, businesses can track and restrict who enters specific areas, adding an extra layer of protection. For example, a business can limit access to server rooms to only IT personnel, with all entries and exits recorded and monitored.

Protecting Digital Assets

While physical security is vital, protecting digital assets is equally important. Sensitive business data, including customer information, financial records, and intellectual property, is often stored electronically. Ensuring that this data is secure from cyber threats requires robust cybersecurity measures, but these must be complemented by strong physical security.

An integrated security solution that combines physical and digital security measures can significantly enhance data protection. For instance, access control systems can ensure that only authorised employees can access computers or network infrastructure. Additionally, CCTV monitoring can help prevent physical tampering with devices that store or process sensitive data.

The Role of Integrated Security Solutions

Integrated security solutions combine multiple layers of security—CCTV, access control, alarm systems, and monitoring services—into a cohesive system. This approach provides a comprehensive view of security, ensuring that all potential threats are addressed.

For example, if an unauthorised person attempts to access a restricted area, the access control system will trigger an alert, which can be verified through CCTV footage. The incident can then be reported to a 24/7 monitoring station, allowing for immediate action. This integrated approach ensures that physical breaches do not lead to digital data being compromised.

TEC Security Offering a Comprehensive Security Solution

Securing sensitive data requires a comprehensive strategy that integrates physical and digital security measures. For Irish enterprises, the combination of CCTV, access control, and other security systems provides a robust defence against potential threats. By adopting integrated security solutions, businesses can protect their sensitive data from unauthorised access and ensure that both physical and digital assets remain secure. As experts in the field, we are committed to helping businesses in Ireland implement the security solutions they need to safeguard their most valuable information.

How Businesses Can Leverage Video Analytics to Enhance Security and Operations

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 14:49:15 GMT

Video analytics has become an important tool in business security. This technology not only strengthens security measures but also provides insights that can improve business operations. As a well-established security company in Ireland, known for providing CCTV and comprehensive security solutions, TEC Security have seen how video analytics can enhance both protection and efficiency.

What is Video Analytics?

Video analytics uses algorithms and artificial intelligence to analyse video footage from CCTV cameras in real-time. This technology can detect patterns, identify anomalies, and trigger alerts when specific events occur. Unlike traditional CCTV systems that rely on manual monitoring, video analytics automates this process, making it more efficient and reliable.

Improving Security with Video Analytics

Security is a primary concern for any business. Video analytics enhances security by enabling proactive measures. For example, our CCTV systems with video analytics can detect unauthorised access, identify suspicious behaviour, and recognise license plates through Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology. When an unusual event is detected, our 24/7 monitoring station receives an alert, allowing for a quick response. This integration provides continuous protection, helping to prevent theft, vandalism, and other security issues.

Enhancing Business Operations

Beyond security, video analytics offers valuable insights that can improve business operations. Video analytics can also assist with compliance monitoring. For businesses in regulated industries, it can automate the tracking of compliance-related activities, such as ensuring safety protocols are followed or that only authorised personnel access restricted areas.

Integration with Comprehensive Security Solutions

At TEC Security, we integrate video analytics with other security components, such as access control and alarm systems, all monitored from our 24/7 monitoring station. This approach ensures that businesses are both secure and efficient.

Video analytics provides Irish businesses with a tool to enhance security and optimise operations. By incorporating this technology into a comprehensive security strategy, companies can protect their assets. As experts in the security industry, we are committed to delivering solutions that meet the needs of our clients.

Smart Surveillance: How CCTV Technology is Reducing Illegal Dumping

Fri, 07 Jun 2024 14:39:51 GMT

Illegal dumping is a persistent issue faced by many urban and rural areas, causing environmental issues and significant cleanup costs. At TEC Security, we are committed to partnering with city councils and public bodies to provide effective solutions to this problem through advanced CCTV technology. Our state-of-the-art surveillance systems not only deter illegal dumpers but also provide invaluable evidence that can be used in legal proceedings.

The Role of CCTV in Deterring Illegal Dumping

CCTV cameras serve as a powerful deterrent to illegal dumpers who fear being recorded and prosecuted. Our strategically placed cameras cover vulnerable areas, ensuring comprehensive surveillance and minimising blind spots. The presence of visible CCTV cameras sends a strong message that illegal activities will be monitored and addressed.

Using Footage in Legal Cases

One of the most significant advantages of our CCTV systems is their ability to capture high-quality footage that can be used in court.

Our systems are designed to store and manage this footage securely, ensuring it is admissible in legal proceedings.

Ensuring GDPR Compliance

At TEC Security, we understand the importance of protecting privacy while ensuring security. Our CCTV solutions are fully compliant with GDPR.

Comprehensive Security Solutions: Enhancing Business Safety with Fire Alarms

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 14:37:31 GMT

As a trusted security company with over 20 years of experience, we understand the critical importance of comprehensive protection. While CCTV, access control, and monitoring systems are essential components of a robust security strategy, fire alarm systems are equally vital for safeguarding your business.

Why Fire Alarm Systems Matter

Fire alarm systems are not just about compliance with regulations; they are about protecting lives, assets, and your business's future. Here are key reasons why fire alarms are crucial for businesses:

Early Detection and Warning: Fire alarms provide immediate detection and alert, giving employees and visitors critical time to evacuate safely.
Minimise Property Damage: Early detection helps in reducing the extent of damage to the property, potentially saving millions in losses.
Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with fire safety regulations is mandatory for businesses. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines and legal issues.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that your business is protected against fire hazards allows you to focus on other important aspects of your operations.

Components of a Fire Alarm System

A robust fire alarm system typically includes the following components:

Smoke Detectors: These devices detect smoke particles in the air, which can indicate the presence of a fire.
Heat Detectors: These sensors respond to rapid changes in temperature, triggering the alarm when a specific threshold is reached.
Manual Call Points: Also known as pull stations, these allow individuals to manually trigger the alarm if they spot a fire.
Alarm Sounders and Flashers: These devices alert occupants through loud noises and flashing lights, ensuring that everyone is aware of the fire hazard.
Control Panel: The central hub that monitors all connected devices and manages the fire alarm system's operations.

Choosing the Right Fire Alarm System for Your Business

Selecting the appropriate fire alarm system depends on several factors, including the size and layout of your premises, the nature of your business, and specific regulatory requirements. Here are some steps to guide you:

Risk Assessment: Conduct a thorough assessment to identify potential fire hazards and determine the level of protection needed.
System Type: Decide between conventional, addressable, and wireless fire alarm systems based on your business's needs.
Conventional Systems: Suitable for smaller premises, these systems divide the building into zones.
Addressable Systems: Ideal for larger properties, these provide specific information about the location of the fire.
Wireless Systems: These offer flexibility and are easier to install, making them suitable for properties where wiring is challenging.
Compliance: Ensure that the chosen system meets all relevant fire safety regulations and standards.

Our Expertise in Fire Alarm Systems

With over 20 years of experience, we provide fully compliant, integrated security solutions, including CCTV, access control, monitoring, and fire alarm systems. Our certified professionals ensure seamless installation and continuous operational support. We tailor our fire alarm solutions to meet your business's unique needs and challenges.

Upgrading Your Existing CCTV System: Leveraging New Technologies for Enhanced Security

Thu, 02 May 2024 14:32:36 GMT

In today's rapidly evolving technology landscape, upgrading your existing CCTV system is not just about enhancing security; it's about leveraging new technologies to bring comprehensive, state-of-the-art protection to your business.

Assessing Your Current System

Before diving into an upgrade, it's crucial to assess your existing CCTV system. Determine its capabilities, limitations, and how it integrates with other security measures you have in place. Consider factors such as image quality, storage capacity, and ease of access. This assessment will help identify the key areas that require enhancements and allow you to make informed decisions about new technologies that could fill those gaps.

Integrating Advanced Technologies

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Analytics: AI technology can transform your CCTV into a smart surveillance system. By integrating AI, your cameras can differentiate between routine movements and potential threats, reducing false alarms and enhancing incident response. Advanced analytics can also provide valuable insights into traffic patterns, crowd density, and other business operations.
Cloud-Based Solutions: Cloud storage solutions offer scalable, flexible, and cost-effective alternatives to traditional storage systems. They allow for easy expansion and remote access to live and recorded footage from any internet-connected device. Additionally, cloud systems are generally more secure and less susceptible to physical damage.
Cybersecurity Enhancements: As CCTV systems become more connected, cybersecurity becomes paramount. Ensure your upgraded system includes encrypted data transmission, secure storage options, and regular software updates to protect against cyber threats.
Considering Integration with Other Systems: An effective upgrade involves ensuring that your CCTV system works seamlessly with other security systems such as access controls, alarm systems, and emergency response technologies. This integration can enhance overall security and operational efficiency, providing a unified management platform and simplified control over your security infrastructure.
Professional Consultation and Installation: To ensure the best results from your upgrade, consider consulting with professional CCTV installation and security experts.

The Power of Body Cameras: Enhancing Security Across Industries

Thu, 22 Feb 2024 15:39:19 GMT

In an increasingly uncertain world, businesses are turning to innovative solutions to bolster their security measures. One such solution that has gained traction across various industries is the use of body cameras. These compact devices offer a multitude of benefits, making them an asset for businesses of all types and sizes.

Promoting Accountability and Transparency:

Body cameras serve as a powerful tool for promoting accountability and transparency within organisations. Whether used by security personnel or frontline employees, these devices provide an unbiased record of interactions and incidents, ensuring that actions are accurately documented and reviewed.

Deterrence of Criminal Activity:

The mere presence of body cameras can act as a deterrent against criminal activity and misconduct. Potential wrongdoers are less likely to engage in illicit behaviour when they know that their actions are being recorded, helping to prevent incidents before they occur and safeguarding businesses against potential threats.

Enhancing Safety in High-Risk Environments:

Industries such as retail, hospitality, events, and healthcare often face unique security challenges due to their high-traffic nature. Body cameras offer an additional layer of protection in these environments, allowing security personnel and staff to maintain situational awareness and respond swiftly to any emerging threats, thereby enhancing overall safety.

Improving Customer Service and Resolution of Disputes:

Frontline employees, including field workers, can benefit greatly from the use of body cameras. These devices enable them to document interactions with customers, providing a valuable record that can be used to resolve disputes, verify transactions, and improve overall service quality.

Training and Professional Development:

Body cameras also serve as a valuable training tool. By reviewing footage of past incidents, individuals can identify areas for improvement, refine their response strategies, and enhance their professional development, ultimately leading to a more skilled and effective workforce.

Bodycams offer a wide range of benefits for businesses across various industries. Whether used to promote accountability, deter criminal activity, enhance safety, improve customer service, or facilitate training, these devices have become an indispensable asset in today's security landscape. By investing in body cameras, businesses can take proactive steps towards enhancing their security measures and ensuring the safety and well-being of their personnel and premises.

Integrating Access Control with CCTV for Enhanced Security

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 15:35:28 GMT

Businesses today face numerous security challenges, making it crucial for them to invest in comprehensive security systems. Two essential components of any effective security infrastructure are access control systems and closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras. While these systems are powerful on their own, integrating access control with CCTV offers businesses enhanced security and numerous benefits.

Improved Monitoring & Deterrence

By integrating access control with CCTV, businesses can achieve a higher level of monitoring and deterrence. CCTV cameras can capture live video footage of individuals entering or attempting to enter secure areas. When this system is linked to an access control system, authorised individuals can monitor these live feeds, allowing them to detect and respond to any unauthorised access attempts promptly. The presence of CCTV cameras also acts as a strong deterrent, effectively reducing the likelihood of security breaches.

Enhanced Situational Awareness

Integrating access control with CCTV provides businesses with enhanced situational awareness. Access control systems provide valuable information about who is entering and exiting secured areas, including the date and time of entry. By linking this data with CCTV footage, authorised personnel can have a complete overview of a security event, enabling them to understand how the event unfolded and identify any potential security weaknesses.

Quick Incident Response

One of the major benefits of integrating access control with CCTV is the ability to respond quickly to security incidents. When unauthorised access is detected through the access control system, CCTV cameras can immediately be directed towards the compromised area, allowing security personnel to assess the situation remotely and take appropriate action. This integration significantly reduces response time, potentially preventing further damage or theft.

Forensic Investigations

Another advantage of integrating access control with CCTV is the ability to conduct effective forensic investigations. By combining access control logs with CCTV footage, businesses can easily trace the movements of individuals within a secured area, providing crucial evidence during investigations. This integration can aid in identifying culprits, resolving disputes, and ensuring justice is served.

Streamlined Management

Integrating access control with CCTV also streamlines security management for businesses. Having a centralised system that combines access control and CCTV simplifies the administration and monitoring processes. Businesses can have a comprehensive overview of their security infrastructure, making it easier to manage and maintain. This integration also reduces the need for multiple systems and decreases the likelihood of system compatibility issues.

Additional Information

Integrating access control systems with CCTV offers businesses numerous benefits that enhance their overall security infrastructure. From improved monitoring and deterrence to quicker incident response and streamlined management, this integration provides businesses with comprehensive security and peace of mind. As technology continues to advance, businesses would do well to invest in this powerful combination for enhanced security measures.

Enhancing Retail Security: The Role of CCTV Systems

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 14:27:57 GMT

Retail security plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of employees and customers, preventing theft and losses, and protecting the reputation of the brand. As the retail industry continues to evolve, so too do the methods used to prevent security breaches. One key player has been CCTV systems.

In the retail industry, CCTV systems have become an essential security tool. They operate by capturing video footage of a particular area or location and recording it for later viewing and analysis. One benefit of CCTV systems is their ability to deter crime before it even occurs. The mere presence of a camera can act as a deterrent for potential thieves, and studies have shown that businesses with CCTV systems experience fewer security incidents than those without them. Additionally, with the introduction of high-definition cameras, CCTV systems can now capture clearer images and provide better evidence in the event of an actual crime.

Another key advantage of CCTV systems is their versatility. They can be installed in various locations, such as entrances, exits, and high-risk areas such as cash registers. Some businesses even employ mobile CCTV units to monitor their premises on a temporary basis, such as during major events or promotions. Moreover, CCTV systems can be used as evidence in the event of a security incident. The footage can be used in investigations to identify perpetrators and build a case against them. The recorded footage can also be used to conduct internal investigations, such as monitoring employee activity to ensure compliance with company policies.

However, despite the numerous benefits of CCTV systems, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. The effectiveness of CCTV systems depends on several factors, including proper installation and positioning. They also require maintenance and monitoring by trained professionals to ensure that they continue to operate effectively and provide optimum security. Additionally, CCTV systems must comply with privacy laws and regulations. Employers must ensure that employees and customers are made aware of the presence of CCTV systems and the purpose for which they are being used. Companies must also provide clear guidelines on the use of CCTV footage and ensure that it is not being used for unauthorised purposes.

If you are a business interesting in installing a new security system or if you are considering upgrading an existing one, you can speak with our expert team today. We have many years of experience designing solutions for business security, and would be happy to advise you. Call us on 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie to find out more.

The trained security professionals at the monitoring center are well-equipped to detect even the slightest signs of a security breach and quickly alert the relevant authorities.

For instance, a Dublin warehouse that had suffered from repeated burglary attempts decided to invest in remote CCTV monitoring. This decision proved to be a wise one as a burglary attempt was foiled in real-time by the remote team, who immediately alerted the authorities and prevented the loss of stock.

Privacy Concerns in CCTV: Striking the Right Balance

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 14:23:47 GMT

In an era where security is of paramount importance to businesses, CCTV systems have become a popular choice for enhanced surveillance. However, as these systems capture large amounts of personal and sensitive data, privacy concerns have arisen. As a leading security company that supplies CCTV systems to businesses, we understand the need to address these concerns while ensuring the safety and security of our clients.

Data Collection and Storage

One of the biggest privacy concerns in CCTV is the collection and storage of personal data. Businesses must establish clear policies on what data is collected and how long it is retained. As a security company, we strive to ensure that our CCTV systems only capture relevant data, such as video footage in public areas and restricted access points. Additionally, we work closely with businesses to define retention periods that align with legal requirements, deleting data once it is no longer necessary.

Transparent Compliance with Regulations

Businesses must adhere to relevant data protection regulations, such GDPR. As a security company, we advise our clients in understanding their legal obligations and compliance with privacy laws. This includes obtaining necessary consents from individuals, displaying adequate signage to inform people about CCTV surveillance, and providing mechanisms for individuals to exercise their rights, such as accessing their footage or requesting its deletion.

Secure Data Transmission and Storage

Privacy concerns also arise from the vulnerability of data during transmission and storage. We prioritise the use of encrypted data transmission protocols. Our CCTV systems employ secure storage solutions that protect data against unauthorised access or tampering. By implementing robust security measures, we aim to safeguard the privacy of individuals while maintaining the integrity and security of the stored data.

Minimisation of Invasive Surveillance

To address privacy concerns, businesses need to ensure that CCTV surveillance is minimally invasive. It is important to place cameras strategically, focusing on public areas and high-security zones. We work closely with our clients to develop a comprehensive surveillance plan that takes into consideration privacy-sensitive areas, such as bathrooms or private offices. By minimising the intrusion into personal spaces, businesses can strike a balance between security needs and privacy concerns.

Additional Information

Privacy concerns associated with CCTV systems should not be dismissed but addressed responsibly. As a leading security company that supplies CCTV systems to businesses, we understand the importance of striking the right balance between security needs and privacy considerations. By implementing clear policies, ensuring compliance with regulations, securing data transmission and storage, minimising invasive surveillance, and promoting employee awareness, businesses can maximise security while respecting individuals' privacy.

Remote Monitoring with CCTV: Keeping Your Business Safe, Anywhere, Anytime

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 14:07:59 GMT

In an increasingly digital world, the importance of security in both physical and virtual spaces cannot be overstated. For business owners, safeguarding their premises and assets is paramount. This is where remote monitoring with CCTV systems comes into play. Let’s explore the benefits of remote monitoring, enabling business owners to keep an eye on their premises from anywhere, at any time.

Enhanced Security

One of the primary advantages of remote monitoring with CCTV is the enhancement of security measures. Business owners can access live footage from their cameras, allowing them to monitor their premises in real-time. By remotely controlling and viewing CCTV feeds, owners can identify any suspicious activities, intrusions, or breaches as they occur, enabling immediate action to be taken.

Deterrence and Crime Prevention

CCTV cameras alone act as a powerful deterrent to potential criminals. However, the presence of remote monitoring adds an extra layer of protection. Knowing that the footage is being observed and can be responded to promptly, any ill-intentioned individuals are less likely to target the premises. This combined effect of deterrence and crime prevention can significantly reduce the risk of theft, vandalism, or other criminal activities within the business environment.

Cost-Effective Solution

Remote monitoring with CCTV is a cost-effective security solution for businesses. Instead of employing multiple security personnel on-site, remote monitoring systems can be managed by a minimal staff remotely, reducing expenses associated with physical security measures. Additionally, the installation and maintenance costs of a CCTV system are relatively affordable compared to traditional guarding services.

Flexibility and Convenience

With remote monitoring, business owners have the flexibility to keep an eye on their premises regardless of their physical location. Whether on vacation, attending a conference, or working remotely, owners can access real-time footage via internet-connected devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops. This convenience ensures that business owners are never completely disconnected, providing peace of mind and a sense of control over their security.

Increased Productivity

Remote monitoring can also significantly improve business productivity. Instead of the traditional approach of physically patrolling the premises or relying on manual checks, remote monitoring enables the business owner to focus on other aspects of their operation. With reduced time spent on security matters, owners can allocate resources to more critical tasks, enhancing overall productivity and efficiency.

Immediate Response and Critical Information

Remote monitoring can be integrated with alarm systems, motion detectors, and other security features. This integration enables real-time alerts to be sent when a potential threat or breach is detected. Business owners, when notified, can take immediate action by directly contacting Gardai or taking preventative measures to mitigate the situation. The ability to respond quickly and obtain critical information is crucial in minimizing potential losses and damages to the business.

Additional Information

Remote monitoring with CCTV provides significant advantages for business owners aiming to ensure the safety and security of their premises. From extended security coverage and crime prevention to cost-effectiveness and operational convenience, remote monitoring offers a comprehensive solution. By leveraging the power of technology, business owners can stay connected, react promptly, and have peace of mind, knowing that their assets are protected, no matter where they are.

Detect, Deter, Defend: How CCTV Prevents Security Threats

Thu, 20 Jul 2023 14:05:32 GMT

CCTV systems have been around for decades. In those early days, CCTV was all about deterring criminals. Today's CCTV technology has evolved significantly and is now used by businesses as well as law enforcement agencies across the globe to prevent crime and catch perpetrators when an incident does occur. As well as helping authorities solve crimes, it can also be used as a preventative measure. With the right software and setup, CCTV cameras can be set up to detect anomalies or suspicious activity and send alerts to an authorised team member.

CCTV Has Many Uses

CCTV is used in many industries for everything from monitoring employee performance to preventing threats before they happen. For example, in public locations where there are lots of people coming and going at different times throughout the day, security personnel can use facial recognition software to identify anyone who might pose a threat. If someone gets through without being identified by their face or credentials the system will notify staff so that they can take action immediately without wasting time searching through hours upon hours’ worth of footage from previous days or weeks.

CCTV Technology Has Evolved

Software can be used to detect anomalies and send alerts directly to a team member or security guard. Anomalies can include anything from an individual entering or exiting through a particular door at an unusual time of day, or someone walking around with something suspicious in their possession. The system will also alert if there is any tampering with the cameras themselves; this could indicate either attempted theft or vandalism by would be intruders on your property.

Identify Threats Before They Happen

With the right software and setup, CCTV cameras can be set up to detect anomalies or suspicious activity and send alerts to an authorised team member. The team member can then investigate the situation and determine whether further action is necessary including alerting Gardai.

CCTV is a powerful tool that can be used to prevent and solve crimes. It's also an essential part of any security system, as it allows you to monitor your property 24/7 from anywhere in the world.

The Risks For a Business Without CCTV

Fri, 16 Jun 2023 14:03:13 GMT

There are many benefits to installing CCTV in your shop, office or warehouse. However, you may decide to install this extra layer of security quicker if you knew just how much your unwatched business is at risk.

Imagine this: You’re sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, when all of a sudden the phone rings and wakes you up. The Gardaí are calling to tell you that your business has been broken into and all your hard-earned money has been taken by a group of vandals. They’ve also left your business in a disastrous state. You can hear the guard’s feet crunching on the glass of your shop's front window. Your costly equipment has either been taken or left lying in pieces on the floor. The business that you may have sacrificed a lot of time and money to build has now collapsed.

Paying the Price For Someone Else’s Crimes

What happens when criminals who are scouting for places to target find that your business doesn’t have CCTV? They will likely assume that any valuables in your building won’t be under surveillance either. While their hands are rubbing together in devious delight, you’ll have absolutely no clue you’re on their list until it’s too late. For those who aren’t as brazen to actually break inside (typically younger misfits who are bored and feeling particularly rebellious), they may consider “redecorating”. What may be a work of art to them at night, looks to you like broken windows and vulgar graffiti when you arrive the next morning to open your business. The lack of CCTV may not deter criminals, but the aftermath will surely drive customers away until you repair the damage.

It’s better to take action to prevent robberies and vandalism than it is to endure the headache of cleaning up after the crime. You work hard enough to keep your business doing well, especially in times like these. Why paint an invisible target on your business when you can easily install a CCTV camera?

Proving Without Evidence

CCTV can help deter criminals from breaking into your business. If that doesn’t stop them, then you have video evidence to show Gardaí and your insurance provider regarding the damages or losses caused by these criminals. With any luck, these offenders might even be identified and prosecuted for what they’ve done! However, it’s hard to know what happened if you don’t have the evidence. It takes much longer for criminal investigations to carry out when the evidence has to be collected at the scene before being analysed. This may also mean that insurance providers will take longer to process your claim as they wait for the results.

Keep an Eye When You’re Not There

The crimes committed to your business could potentially be an inside job. You may have a lot of trust in your employees, however, sometimes they might be abusing it when you’re not there. Without CCTV, you’ll be none the wiser if an employee dips their hand into the cash register from time to time. Maybe a customer wants to report an unpleasant interaction with one of your staff but the latter is telling you another side of the story. If it’s a serious incident that occurred while you were away, such as physical or verbal abuse, you won’t know whether to believe your employee or the customer. You can’t hover over every employee to make sure they’re not harming your business in some way.

Without CCTV, you are increasing the risk of your business being robbed or vandalised and staying unaware of any employee misconduct. You can’t be there 24/7. None of the risks involved with leaving a business unwatched is worth it. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Protecting Your Business: The Importance of Security Services

Fri, 05 May 2023 14:01:15 GMT

Your business is your livelihood and that of your team. The value of this cannot be understated and ensuring that it is safe and secure should be a top priority for any business owner. However, we live in a world where crime rates are on the rise and many businesses have been targeted by thieves looking to make a quick gain at their expense. This means that protecting your business from harm is more important than ever before but how do you go about doing this?

The Importance of Security Services

Security is an important part of your business. It protects the company's assets and helps to ensure that it can operate as efficiently as possible. Security services are designed to protect against threats such as theft, vandalism and sabotage. They also help guard against employee misconduct such as theft or fraud by monitoring employees' activities while they are on duty.

CCTV Monitoring Services

CCTV Monitoring Services are a necessity for any business. They can help you to identify problems before they become big issues, and in some cases, prevent them from ever happening at all. Monitoring services can help you to keep track of your business, without having to be there in person. They can also help you to identify problems and address them before they become more serious issues.

Perimeter Protection Solutions, Surveillance cameras, Alarm systems, Access control

These are all the basics, but they're also just the beginning of what you can do to protect your business from theft and vandalism, as well as physical threats such as fire or flood damage. The next step is perimeter protection, a series of measures that keep people out of your place of business without impeding them in any way once they've entered it. Perimeter protection solutions cover areas such as fences, gates and barriers. Intrusion detection systems will monitor for unauthorised entries into secured areas. Access control systems will manage who gets into which areas based on credentials issued by the organisation.

Design, Install, Maintain Your Security Solution

It is important to hire a professional security company who can design a comprehensive solution that fits your needs. An experienced company will also be able to provide you with the best products and services and the latest technology. TEC Security design the solution, install it and will maintain everything to ensure it is always protecting you.

Protecting your business is important. A professional security solution can give you peace of mind when you are not there. A good security service provider knows exactly what they are doing and will be able to provide you with a complete package that will help keep your business safe from any threats or dangers. Protecting your business is important. TEC Security provide a professional security solution that will give you peace of mind.

Protecting your Security Team

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 13:59:13 GMT

The safety of your security team is a priority. But how can you protect them? With the right tools, including body cameras, two-way radios and CCTV surveillance you are ensuring they can do their job in safety.

Body Camera

Body cameras are a great way to record interactions with the public. This will keep everybody significantly safer as cameras will deter much of the anti-social behaviour that results in violence. The camera can also be used to record training sessions, which is helpful if you need to review how your team handled certain situations or if you want them to see what their own performance looked like from an outside perspective.

Two-Way Radio

Two-way radios are an essential tool for any security team, but they can be difficult to get right. It's important to choose the right equipment and make sure that every member of your team has access to one. Two-way radios allow you to communicate with each other without having to speak over the phone or in person. This is especially helpful if you're patrolling different areas of your facility at once, or if there are multiple teams working on different projects at once and need quick access to information about what's going on around them. They allow members of the team to communicate with each other from far distances, upwards of 5km, which helps them stay safe while patrolling in dangerous areas or responding quickly when there's an emergency call-out.

CCTV Surveillance

This is the most common form of security for buildings, and it can be used to monitor both the perimeter of your building or the inside of your building. Monitoring and recording activity to keep your team safe.

Motion detectors are often set up in high-traffic areas like entrances and exits, where they will pick up changes in temperature or movement within their range. They can be used to detect intruders, or they can be set up to trigger an alarm when a person enters the range of the sensor. Motion detectors often come in two forms: passive infrared motion detectors and microwave motion sensors. Passive infrared motion detectors use infra-red light to detect changes in temperature within their range. Another layer of security for your team.

Importance of Protection

We hope this has given you some insight into the importance of protecting your security team. It's not just about them being safe; it's also about ensuring they can do their jobs effectively and efficiently. With the right tools like body cameras, two-way radios and CCTV surveillance systems, you can help prevent accidents as well as reduce stress on both your employees and clients by making sure everyone stays safe while on duty.

Upgrade Your CCTV Security

Thu, 02 Mar 2023 13:57:12 GMT

The days of installing a CCTV system and calling it a day are over. The newest systems can use analytics and facial recognition to identify intruders, alerting you when something untoward happens. It may be time for an upgrade on your security system.

Security Cameras

CCTV cameras are an effective deterrent against crime. They can be used to monitor building entrances, parking areas, warehouse bays, perimeters and any other areas that need protection. CCTV technology has been in use for several decades now and it has evolved quickly to become more sophisticated and robust.

Access Control Systems

Access control systems are used to control who has access to a building. These systems can be manual or automated, and they use different types of technology such as ANPR, magnetic cards, codes or biometrics (fingerprint scans). An access control system can be used in conjunction with your CCTV security cameras if you want to monitor who enters and exits your premises.

Video Analytics

Video analytics is a technology that uses software to analyse video footage and detect anomalies, or events that could be of interest to you. The system can then alert you when there is something worth looking at, saving you time and effort.

Video analytics can be used in many ways. Mainly it is used to help security staff monitor large areas more efficiently such as a parking area. It’s also helpful to detect when someone has entered restricted areas or left them without authorisation. This can be a visitor who has not signed out or an employee who hasn't clocked out. Or more likely, somebody that has gained access without permission and is freely moving around the premises.

Using CCTV cameras to protect your business is a great way to deter intruders. CCTV cameras can be used to monitor employees, customers, and public spaces. They can also be used outside of the building or inside if needed.

Additional Information

CCTV Security systems are a great way to project your business but only if you have a system that is fit for purpose. It may be time for an upgrade on your security systems. Get in touch with the expert team at TEC Security and we would be happy to advise you. You can call us on 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie .

Why Two-Way Radios Can Be Beneficial in Any Workplace

Thu, 02 Feb 2023 13:55:24 GMT

Communication is a powerful tool. Having a well-connected team is beneficial to every workplace. These two-way radios, made to a high standard using the latest technology, can improve the efficiency of staff and allow them to respond immediately if an incident occurs. Although they are built to the highest quality, they are provided at a cost-effective price. Companies that utilise two-way radios highlight their commitment to ensuring the safety and productivity of their staff.

Hospitals

Hospitals are responsible for the care and treatment of a multitude of patients every day. These work environments require all medical personnel to be constantly prepared for the unexpected. TEC’s radios can help ease the pressure by allowing instant communication between staff during an emergency, which can save vital minutes when lives are on the line. Due to their lightweight design, they can easily be worn throughout the day and wield a battery life that promises uninterrupted communication. These radios also operate on a closed secured network for added security and privacy, to ensure the upholding of patient confidentiality at all times.

Construction Sites

Whether your workers are building a house or an office building, they can truly benefit from the use of our two-way radios. They increase productivity and efficiency by allowing workers to update each other in real-time, leading to less expensive mistakes during the project. These units can also take the guesswork out of logistics as they work across any distance, worldwide. As a result, there’s no need to have people always on-site, providing the ability to work on multiple projects at the same time.

Event Communication

When working in environments with potential risks, it’s safer to stay connected at all times. Events such as festivals, concerts, sports matches etc. can be heavily populated and communication among workers is likely to be affected in these areas. To ensure the event runs as smoothly as possible, staff must maintain control of crowds and keep an eye on any potential risks that may interfere with safety protocols. High noise levels and restricted movement can slow the response rate of incidents, which can be detrimental to the safety of both staff and the public. TEC’s radios offer superb audio quality which aids communication amongst staff within these loud settings. As there are no restrictions on distance when these radios are in use, everyone anywhere will be on the same page for the duration of the event.

Retail

You do not have to work in a risky environment to see the benefits of these two-way radios. Those in retail settings can use them to enhance their productivity and increase customer satisfaction. Instead of spending the customer’s valuable time looking for stock and risking their impatience, why not connect with the stockroom from the shop floor? Floor staff will know instantly what they have in stock and customers will be grateful for the attentive experience.

The Benefits of CCTV Monitoring for the Business Owner

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 10:40:03 GMT

As a business owner, protecting your premises, products and team is a top priority. A highly efficient way to do this is through CCTV monitoring. While you will not have actual security guards on site, you will get 24/7 monitor services with CCTV monitoring. The security professionals you choose can help you determine what type of cameras work best for your needs as well as identify the best locations for these cameras. Read on to learn about the top benefits of using CCTV monitoring.

Crime Deterrence

Easily one of the biggest benefits of CCTV monitoring is that it can deter crime. Criminals don’t want to deal with complicated. They want easy in and out jobs, where they can get around undetected. When you have cameras in your business, people are less likely to steal from your company. Smartly placed cameras, ones that are focused on your cash registers or your more expensive items, can prevent theft at your business.

Makes Parking Lot Safer

The parking area can be a dangerous place for your employees and your patrons. By investing in CCTV in your parking area, you are going to make it a lot safer. The cameras will deter criminals from breaking into cars or harassing customers as they walk to their car. A safer parking place will make your customers happy. If they feel safer when they visit your business, they will be more likely to keep coming back.

Protection from Legal proceedings

If someone slips and falls on your premises, you have a major burden to prove that you were not negligent in your actions. A CCTV camera can keep you protected. The camera can catch any injury that takes place at your business, which you can refer to in a personal injury claim. You can use this as evidence to prove that you were not negligent and protect your business.

Saves Money on Insurance

Insurance premiums can be extremely costly. By having a CCTV at your business, you can save money on your insurance. This is because CCTV cameras reduce your risk of becoming a victim of crime. With a reduced risk of crime, your insurance premiums will be significantly reduced. The amount of money that you can from insurance premiums makes this investment well worth it.

Protects Your Business

CCTV on the outside of your business to keep you better protected. Make sure that there are cameras in areas where people are more likely to hide. This, in combination with locking your doors, can prevent people from sneaking into your business while it is unoccupied.

Additional Benefits

There are plenty of benefits when investing in CCTV monitoring services for your company. There will be security professionals watching the video feeds 24/7, ensuring that your property is always protected.

Publicans need to be protected with CCTV

CCTV has been proven to reduce anti-social behaviour significantly. It is seen as a deterrent for those seeking to cause mischief. CCTV will reduce vandalism as those involved do not want to risk getting caught. CCTV will also be a watchful eye to deter employee theft and illegal onsite activity .

Unfortunately, in Ireland there are too many bogus insurance claims against innocent parties. CCTV is a useful tool in relation to bogus legal claims as the activity is recorded and available for use in legal proceedings. Plus, there is the added benefit that CCTV can reduce insurance premiums as well as reducing your business risks.

CCTV footage and GDPR compliancy

Do you know what is required to be compliant with the GDPR when using CCTV? This can be a worry for business owners that need to share the footage with a third party. This can be for legal proceedings or just in the general operations of the business.

You have obligations for informing the public that recording is taking place. If you are sharing footage with third party, there are redaction considerations to consider. There are laws around storage, retention of footage and its destruction.

There are many legal requirements, do not leave yourself open to a data breach. Using the services of an experienced security solutions business will provide you with the service, advice and protection you need.

The Benefits of Body Cameras in The Security Sector

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 10:35:35 GMT

A body camera is a type of small, wearable camera that can be attached to a uniform or clothing. The camera will record everything in front of the person and can be hugely beneficial for ensuring their safety, as well as capturing any evidence.

Working in the security sector can be a dangerous job. Whether working in private or public security, wearing a body camera can help ensure a person’s safety at work.

Increased Safety

The primary and most obvious benefit to any security personnel wearing a body camera is the increased security to the wearer that they provide. In addition, anyone approaching security will be recorded on this camera, providing accountability and safety. Security people wearing a body camera can provide extra reassurance for members of the public that may be approaching them. Knowing that the camera is recording will provide comfort.

Helps Deter Crime

An interesting effect often referred to as the ‘observer effect’ is that people generally tend to act in a calmer and more respectable manner when being on camera. Once a person can spot the camera, it may help to deter crime. If crimes do occur, body cameras will often be able to record it happening, offering more accountability. This can be particularly beneficial when police are involved and require evidence.

Footage

Security guards can often be present when a crime has taken place or is taking place, whether it be an assault from one person to another or something else. Wearing a body camera will actively ensure that the footage is being recorded at that moment.

Another benefit is protection. Say a person claims you assaulted them or lay hands on them when you know this did not happen; having the footage from the body camera can help prove that you did nothing wrong in this situation.

Reduction in Assaults

Unfortunately, many security guards have been assaulted because of their job. Maintaining safety, stopping crime or breaking up fights is a dangerous job and can often result in people becoming aggressive or abusive.

Having a body camera can help reduce the chances of an assault happening. Additionally, if an assault does happen, a body camera will record the footage and allows for full accountability for the assaulter.

Additional Opportunities

The majority of the time, security guards will handle a situation with professionalism and security at the forefront. Using a body cam can aid in training new security guards as they can watch live footage from other colleagues who were in a similar situation and handled it perfectly.

There are many of benefits that security personnel can benefit from by using a body camera. Whether you are working as security in a shopping centre, working as a bouncer on a nightclub door or even retail workers - body cameras offer an undeniable amount of safety and security for the wearer.

Electric Car Chargers - What to Look Out For When Buying One

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 10:33:22 GMT

An electric car charger or car charging station is essential to owning an electric car. Although there are some electric car charging points available in our towns and cities, you will need more than just public access to one. The ability to charge your electric car whenever needed makes owning and driving an electric car much easier.

However, investing in an electric car charger can be a large expense for many people, so you may be wondering about some key things you need to look out for when buying one. Read on below to find out some of the top things to look out for when buying an electric car charger.

Home Charging Station

The most obvious thing you need to be aware of when buying an electric car charger is ensuring that you have a compatible home charging station in place. The home charging station will work alongside your electric car charger to charge your electric car.

There are many different types of charging stations available, and customers should be aware of the different power outputs, speeds and possible placement of a home charging station. Deciding on how much of a power out or how fast you need your electric car to charge can largely depend on your lifestyle and use of the vehicle. Having the ability to control the charger from your smartphone makes the process much more user friendly.

Temperature Control

A smart temperature control monitor is a vital thing to look out for when choosing your electric car charger. Many chargers come equipped with an intelligent temperature control chip which avoids danger due to overheating of the charger.

Chargers with temperature control will reduce the charger's output or stop the charging completely if overheating is detected. Once the temperature returns to normal, the charger will automatically restart charging the vehicle.

Protection Benefits

When purchasing an electric car charger, you will want one that offers as many protection benefits as possible. Getting an electric car charger with added protection benefits may be an additional upfront cost, but ensuring the safety of your car, charger and home charging station is vital.

Some of the protection benefits you will want to look out for are overheating protection such as temperature control, leakage protection, overcurrent protection and a charger that has an IP55 waterproof rating. Together, these protection benefits will ensure all of your electric vehicle components are safe.

Who Can Benefit from An Electric Car Charger?

Anyone with multiple electric cars - If you have multiple electric vehicles, it may be hard to charge them properly without an adequate home electric car charger.
Companies that use electric cars and often have many on the go. Many companies are opting for electric vehicles for their staff, and with many vehicles on the go, an electric car charger is vital.
Electric car owners - You do not need to own multiple vehicles to have an electric car charger. Anyone who owns an electric car can benefit from the freedom of being able to charge your car whenever it is needed.

The Most Advanced CCTV Security Technology

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 10:31:14 GMT

IP Cameras monitor your entire infrastructure. These cameras provide a variety of viewing angles, including a horizontal view and a corridor mode, among others.

These are great options for a wide variety of businesses, including commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, banking institutions, and retail outlets. Additionally, in order to make the most of the capabilities of your security system, the cameras have been fitted with cutting-edge technologies such as infrared (IR) illuminators, powerful video compression technology, and motion detection software.

Enhanced identification of possibly suspicious activity up to 300 meters in the distance is possible. If the number of pixels that are packed into each foot is increased, then the resulting images and videos will have a higher degree of clarity. It is capable of recording video in locations that a typical landscape format camera's field of vision would prevent it from recording in.

Reasons to install 4K CCTV cameras

Enhanced Image Quality
A 4K camera will be able to collect images with better detail and will allow for greater magnification for the purposes of forensic investigation. This is in comparison to ordinary HD CCTV cameras. The days when images on CCTV monitors were grainy and indistinct are well behind us.

Visual Discouragement
Passersby can see from CCTV cameras that your home is secured by a rigorous security system. This can serve as a powerful deterrent to potential intruders, preventing them from ever considering trying to access the property.

Property Supervision
They can both notify those outside your building and dramatically increase the sense of security among those already inside. This is because 4K CCTV cameras offer superior monitoring features that let you keep tabs on what's happening on your property.

Capacity for the Future
One other benefit of installing CCTV is that it is a long-term investment that requires a very small amount of maintenance. Additionally, its longevity is improved with the introduction of 4K CCTV cameras as the technology progresses. In the end, this should result in a Security System that is long-lasting.

Capabilities of a Smart Camera
By utilising Video Analytics and other safety features, smart cameras can provide superior CCTV surveillance to their users. They not only lower the cost of storage but also give a higher level of protection for your belongings, which in turn increases the efficiency of your security system.

Rest Easy with TEC Security

You can rest easy knowing you have the protection of the most advanced CCTV security technology. Everyone will know that your property is well protected and the 4K visuals can catch any criminal in the act with a super clear view. Nothing gets by these cameras undetected. Certainly, a worthy investment for any business owner. For more information, you can call the team at TEC Security today on 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie .

Why a CCTV Solution is Right for You

Thu, 28 Jul 2022 10:23:37 GMT

What can you do to help your business stay safe, and keep yourself protected?

Crime Rates and Monitoring

Every shop owner and business owner fears a crime at their location. Convenience stores tend to be the hardest hit by crime and theft, and if something should happen in your business, you’ll want cameras in place to protect you, protect employees, and help identify the perpetrator.

CCTV offers 24/7 monitoring, as well as the ability to record and later replay key footage. They are a vital and frankly indispensable tool for every small business owner. Let’s investigate this technology and see what makes it so important in today’s world.

CCTV

CCTV stands for “closed circuit television”. Essentially, goings-on are recorded and transmitted locally, within a store or shop. The events witnessed by the linked camera system are transmitted back to a central, internal hub for digital recording and storage, allowing either you or law-enforcement to access this data later. CCTV can employ either video only, or audio and video, meaning you’ll be able to see and hear the event being played back.

Benefits

The benefits of having a CCTV system professionally installed in your business are immeasurable. Criminals are identified and later caught because of CCTV camera footage every day. If a dispute arises with an employee, having visual and audio evidence to verify what did or did not take place can be a huge legal help. The same is true of unpleasant or dangerous interactions with customers.

Should a crime take place on your property, the CCTV system can clear you of direct involvement or liability, and if you should be the victim of a crime, the silent witness of this camera system can help you to get justice, reclaim stolen funds, or verify that you yourself were compliant with all laws and standards during a robbery. Should you be in the unfortunate situation of suspecting an employee of theft, the CCTV camera system can help you confirm or alleviate your concerns.

Get it Done Professionally

Whatever your reasons for having a CCTV system installed in your business, let the professionals do it. They have a deep familiarity with the systems and hardware involved, as well as with the software than records and stores visual data. They can recommend the best system for your business, and make sure that you have access to features that are both useful, and easy to use. They can also teach you how to access the system, how to review and retrieve footage, and how to create copies of footage on USB drives, or disks. Let the team of professional installers help you get set up. Plus, if you have any issues post-installation, they can return and correct any problems.

No matter what you may face as a business owner, getting a CCTV camera system professionally installed is a must. Don’t hesitate to protect yourself, your business, your assets, and your employees and customers with perhaps the smartest and most necessary item you’ll ever buy for your business. You’ll be thankful that you did. You can call the professional team at TEC Security today on 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie .

Alarm Monitoring for Business

Fri, 24 Jun 2022 10:16:35 GMT

To protect your business, you need multiple layers of security. Having all the equipment such as CCTV cameras, locks, alarms and access control technology is part of it. To complete the overall security solution, you should consider alarm monitoring for your business.

Secure Your Business

Alarm monitoring is a proactive measure that can be taken to ensure a robust solution that protects property, products and people in your business. It allows a quick response when an incident occurs and can prevent damage or theft saving thousands of euros for your business. Using a professional security monitoring service is like having a person present on your premises 24 hours a day.

Connecting your business with a remote monitoring station manned by professionals is the ultimate solution. The team at the monitoring station will be well trained and experienced. They will know what to look for and can act immediately. Alerting the authorities if need be, resulting in a quick response that can make a difference.

CCTV Monitoring

This alarm monitoring is not just for CCTV camera activity that alerts for intruders. It can also be for alarms on doors, access control on barriers and entry points and perimeter areas. Visual checks from the monitoring station result in fewer false alarms as the alert can be verified. False alarms can be common on windy nights with swaying trees, animals breaking a beam or even a staff member entering the wrong code and setting off an alarm. Monitoring can also be set up to alert for a fire, flooding and covers activity during working hours as well as out of hours.

Does your business need alarm monitoring?

Perhaps your insurance providers have requested additional security for your premises, and this would be the perfect solution for lower rates. If you are expanding and moving to bigger or new premises, you could require extra protection. You may want to increase your security as a result of any recent incidents that have left you concerned. Don’t let the security of your business stress you out. You can arrange to speak to our expert security team in confidence. They will advise you on what is right for your business without obligation.

Levels of Crime Increasing

Fri, 27 May 2022 10:14:39 GMT

A recent report from the SFA has indicated that the level of crime suffered by Irish businesses has increased by 10%. It seems that almost half of all Irish businesses were victims of crime in the past year. These crimes included theft of stock or cash and damage to property.

The cost to a business can be measured in euro but the real cost is often not calculated. Every loss has an impact on the profitability and the future of the business. The upset of theft, the worry of not having stock available, the replacement of items can all have a damaging effect on business. Add to that the mental stress and upset and you have a significant cost to the business owner.

Retail Security

Retailers are particularly hard hit when it comes to theft and that is why the use of CCTV and hidden cameras has increased significantly over the past couple of years. Some of the theft is related to professional criminals but many are opportunists that can be deterred by the sight of CCTV surveillance.

CCTV Protection

CCTV has been around for some time, however, the cameras and technology have become more sophisticated in recent years. For many businesses now is a key time to reassess their current systems and upgrade to a solution that will protect their property, people and product.

An all-round solution that includes access control, monitoring services and even covert surveillance may seem expensive to begin with. However, reducing or eliminating theft, vandalism, assault and more can be priceless. As the criminal becomes more sophisticated, the systems used to protect need to keep up.

Security Audit

If it has been some time since your last security audit, then you may need to speak with a security expert soon. Our expert team are on hand to offer you confidential consultation where we can advise you on what you need to protect your business. Get in touch today, before it is too late.

What are the most popular types of CCTV cameras used today?

Fri, 22 Apr 2022 10:12:40 GMT

When it comes to the security of your premises you will want to ensure you have the right equipment in place to protect. There are several different types of CCTV cameras that are popular and knowing a little about them will enable you to understand the security solution your provider is suggesting for you.

Dome CCTV

These cameras are encased in a dome shaped cover. They blend into the décor and are therefore more visually pleasing than the old-style cameras. They are normally fitted to ceilings but can also be attached to walls or even mounted on poles depending on the situation and needs of the client. It is hard for the public to see which way the camera is pointing at any given time which is a nice feature of these types of units. They can be used inside or outside without any effect in the quality of picture.

PTZ Cameras

PTZ stands for pan, tilt, zoom which gives them great flexibility when viewing a large area. They are used in situations where the security operator wants the flexibility to zoom in and move the position of what is being watched. Typically a camera like this would be used to observe crowds of people, perhaps in a busy shopping area or event. The operator can use this one camera to focus in on activities and get a clear view of what is occurring.

Bullet Cameras

Bullet cameras are known for their long-focused appearance. They are great for positioning outside to observe a certain direction and will cover a long distance. The camera will be fitted with night vision capabilities so would be very popular in many security designs.

Specialist Cameras

There are also a variety of specialist cameras on the market. Thermal imagery CCTV cameras are often used when trying to detect heat sources in very dark or difficult conditions. They will easily pick up on human body heat from some distance. Covert CCTV will require small hidden cameras and there are some amazing designs and options available. As technology has moved so rapidly, we now have a range of day and night cameras that will pick up images clearly in the dark without the need of extra lights.

Get in Touch

Selecting the right cameras for each situation is what a security expert excels at. Our expert TEC Security team will have vast knowledge of equipment and technology and how they will work together to protect your assets.

Does My Business Need CCTV?

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 10:08:00 GMT

If you have moved to a new premises or are expanding, you may be thinking of what you need for your business set up. More than likely, security of your building will be on your list to explore. The most popular type of security that is in place in Irish businesses today is CCTV. There is a reason for that, it just makes sense. CCTV acts as a deterrent and it also records for proof.

Is your business at a stage that it needs CCTV?

How do you know if you should be considering installing CCTV at your premises? Here are some obvious signs that you need it:

You have already experienced theft of product or equipment
You have experienced a break in or an intruder attempted to gain entry
You had an incident on site that you want to investigate and have no footage of any visitors to your premises that day
There was a claim or incident in your car park or premises, and you don’t have footage to support

Perhaps the cost of installing a CCTV system is a concern to you. You will soon find out that the cost of security is paid back tenfold with peace of mind and the protection of what is important to you as a business owner.

CCTV reduces the incidents of theft as it acts as a deterrent to anybody considering it. It provides evidence in the event of a claim or supports a case against somebody who stole from you. The security cameras are also used to help monitor visitors to your site. All great reasons to have them.

If you are considering installing or upgrading your CCTV system for your business, you should start with a conversation with an expert. You will need a system that works for your circumstances. You should start with the best system you can afford with the latest technology that is reliable.

If you are wondering about such an investment, remember, at TEC Security we offer a solution that includes fixed easy monthly payments for your security systems. Chat to our friendly team today, you can call us on 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie .

Guidance on The Use of CCTV for The Business Owner

Sat, 01 Jan 2022 10:05:53 GMT

If you are using CCTV in your business, there are certain things that you should consider to ensure you are compliant when it comes to the GDPR.

It is a perfectly legitimate practice to install CCTV at your business premises. In fact, it is highly advisable as a form of security that both deters would be intruders and records any behaviour that might need investigation.

CCTV helps secure the premises, but it also supports good workplace safety onsite. The detection of suspicious behaviour by using security cameras often helps detect and prevent crime. However, you must be mindful of certain best practices when it comes to using CCTV systems. These include ensuring you are not intruding on the privacy rights of individuals or using it for excessive monitoring.

Here is a CCTV checklist to ensure you are mindful of your use of CCTV:

Purpose: Make sure you have a clearly documented purpose for why you are using CCTV. In most cases this will be for security purposes only and to observe activity relating to that.
Lawfulness: Know what the legal basis for your use of CCTV is and make sure it is appropriate.
Necessity: Ensure you can demonstrate that CCTV is necessary to achieve your goal.
Proportionality: If your CCTV system is to be used for purposes other than security, you should be able to demonstrate that those other uses are proportionate. Ensure you know who you are recording be it customers, visitors, staff or members of the public in general. Can you justify this?
Security: You must keep the CCTV recordings safe and secure, both technically and organisationally. Plus, you will note who will have access and how the footage will be managed.
Retention: Document how long you will retain recordings for, taking into account that they should be kept for no longer than is necessary for your original purpose.
Transparency: You will have to inform people that you are recording their images and be able to provide them with a copy of that recording if requested. That recording may have to be redacted to comply with data protection.

Your security provider should be able to discuss these matters with you and advise you where appropriate. Do not let the worry of data protection get in the way of the security of your business. Compliance is straight forward when you work with a trusted provider.

A Security Option With No Upfront Costs

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 12:05:09 GMT

There are many costs associated with running a business today. As a business owner you will be looking for efficiencies and value for money when it comes to outsourcing any element of your business.

Monthly Payments

Cash flow is key to managing your business, so having monthly payments instead of a huge upfront investment just makes sense. That is why you should consider signing up to a security solution with a fixed monthly cost instead of purchasing everything outright. If you did have to purchase equipment, technology and pay for the installation of a system, this could run into thousands of euro quite easily. Finance managers always prefer a fixed monthly cost. Choosing a provider than can give you the best solution immediately without any capital investment from you will make your accountant very happy.

Latest Equipment

Technology evolves daily and as the years go by, new security systems and more up to date equipment will be required. If you have a monthly contract with your security provider, the updating of cameras and technology will be included. Meaning you always have the best option in place without additional costs.

Flexibility in Security

As your business grows and develops you may expand your premises and require additional security measures. With a monthly contract there would be flexibility to add in your requirements and adjust the monthly cost to cover this. If you want to access the best quality security equipment, have a bespoke system designed for you and get it installed soon then you need to consider TEC Assure.

Thermal Technology Helps Combat Virus

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 11:57:19 GMT

As businesses return to work in the weeks and months ahead, they will be looking for ways to protect their employees. Innovation has come in the form of thermal technology that could help minimise the impact of the virus. This technology could be available to you for as little as €35 per week.

High Temperatures

High temperatures are one side effect of the virus and identifying those affected could be key. It will not be practical to use a traditional thermometer on every person entering a building when the numbers are significant. In fact, to undertake such a task would itself bring issues around contact, cross infection not to mention the time and inconvenience this would cause.

Thermal Technology

This new technology from global leader Dahua can measure the body temperature of large groups of people and report on the results. The unit will be placed in a key area and will actively measure temperatures of the people passing through at every stage during the day. It has the potential of giving the temperature readings of thousands of people daily.

The initial product was sent to China in January of this year and has now been deployed around the world and is in place on thousands of sites globally.

Efficient Method

This thermal technology solution measures the temperature of large groups of people as they enter or move around an area. To put it into context, to measure the temperature of 5,000 people using a traditional thermometer would take over 4 hours, this system should take only half an hour.

Highly accurate, it will measure from 3 metres away and can read up to 30 faces concurrently. It is designed for large groups of people and so has a 1.5 metre field of view. Using such a system in a work environment will give the employees peace of mind and contribute to keeping them healthy.

The speed and accuracy of the method is what makes it so attractive. The fact that it is a contactless method is also a huge benefit.

Flexible & Remote Worker Safety

Thu, 01 Jul 2021 11:47:51 GMT

The traditional office style of working has changed and with that comes a blend of remote working and spending just some of the time during the week in the office. While this may be a good fit for the team, it brings challenges when it comes to security.

Access Control

With less footfall in the office there is a need to ensure those that are in the building are always safe. Having a robust access control system in place will ensure that only authorised visitors to the site can gain access. This starts at the barriers with ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) then continues with access points at the building being controlled with biometric or card reader technology.

Being able to access your working space at any time during the day is important to employees. Restricting access to a building to only those that are approved is critical.

CCTV Monitoring

Your team have their jobs to do and monitoring the movement of visitors is not one of them. Having strategically placed CCTV cameras to enable the close observance of activity is one of the best options when it comes to protecting your property, goods and people. Engaging a security firm that knows where to place the cameras and spends their time monitoring activity is a great investment. The security team will work remotely at the monitoring centre watching all activity and keeping an eye on any suspicious activity on your premises.

Security Needed for Added Activity

Many businesses that are in the process of opening back up fully again have reported an increase in activity in deliveries and general traffic to their premises. With great growth predicted for the country in the coming year it is important to keep tight control when it comes to the security of your office or warehouse facility.

Get in Touch

Is it time for you to review your current security systems to see if they are up to standard? A quick exploratory call with the expert team at TEC Security could expose any risks and provide you with a robust solution. Call today 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie .

Artificial Intelligence & Video Analytics

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 11:42:42 GMT

Devices capable of recording videos provide, without a doubt, valuable information. However, analysing all the recorded data and extracting the most important details can be a real challenge.

Video Analytics

The more cameras are involved, for instance, in a surveillance process, the more challenging the assessment process of the collected data becomes. Fortunately, artificial intelligence is here to do the hard work for us. Artificial intelligence can replace the workload performed by a large team of people. It is accurate, fast, effective, and capable of learning and perfecting its methods.

AI in Security

Artificial intelligence uses special algorithms that are extremely complex and detailed, and it does this without the risk of errors occurring. AI can take a video lasting several hours and analyse every detail, searching for data of interest by following the movement and changes of every pixel in the image. Can people do this so effectively and accurately? The answer is no, as people get tired and lose their focus after a while. However, AI will remain consistent on the job and save a large amount of time by returning precisely the kind of results we are looking to obtain.

Surveillance Cameras

Integrating AI in the video analytics process means information is assessed faster. But the biggest advantage of using AI is the accuracy of the provided information, the speed of the assessment process, and the ability to let it work independently. You can easily find what you want with the help of AI even if you must look through large amounts of data. It can be taught to search for particular faces or license plate numbers, identifying them rapidly within video data. It can be also programmed to keep an eye on any kind of suspicious activity, providing notifications as soon as it is happening.

AI Learns and Adapts

An amazing element is the ability of AI to learn and adapt, finding new and better ways for monitoring video data. So, it will not act like a robot, doing the same thing repeatedly, but improve with time, based on the collected data. It may be awkward to receive suggestions from a machine, but this machine could notice what people overlook and make processes even more effective.

Get in Touch

TEC Security use Video Analytics as part of their security solutions to clients. Our systems will help keep your business safe in the most effective way. Talk to our team today to find out more. You can call us on 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie .

How Can I Be Confident That My Security Footage is Compliant?

Fri, 14 May 2021 11:39:42 GMT

Since the emergence of GDPR, using security footage for various purposes has become a rather tricky issue. Video footage is considered to contain personal data since it reveals faces and details about where a person was and what he or she did.

Video footage is sensitive data and should be treated accordingly. This means that when the security footage collected by surveillance cameras is requested by a third party, with a proper reason behind this request, the security footage should be provided while being compliant with the GDPR regulations.

How can you ensure you are compliant?

Security footage must be compliant whether it was recorded inside your property or outside it. In most cases, security footage is required to support a legal claim. However, it is possible for that footage to contain details about people that have nothing to do with the event or person. According to the GDPR regulations, the data of innocent people must be protected.

How to proceed when security footage contains the face, location, license plate, house number, or name of people that are innocent and were recorded due to pure chance? Such details should always be blurred when processing the video footage. Redaction can protect their identity and personal information. This must be done before submitting the security footage to the authority or third party that requested it.

Security Expertise

Situations like this can be of concern, so the best decision to take is to work with a specialised security company that knows the regulations and can help you in this matter. After assessing the situation and footage, our trained representatives will ensure the footage supplied is compliant.

The GDPR regulations underline specific rules when it comes to storing sensitive data. In addition to redaction we will ensure that footage is stored securely and then disposed of properly within a specified timeframe.

Redacted CCTV Footage

When a third-party requests security footage, it is advisable to call your security company and ask for their advice on how to proceed correctly. This will give you the peace of mind that this information does not end up in the wrong hands. If the footage is needed as proof in court, TEC Security will ensure it will be redacted so that the data of innocent people are protected as mentioned earlier. As security experts, our team will provide all the guidance you need to use video footage for any situation. And we will provide quick access to the footage if an emergency occurred.

Get Protected

Make sure you are protected at all stages, working with the expert TEC Security team will provide you with that peace of mind. You can call us on 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie .

CCTV – More Than Just Cameras

Wed, 14 Apr 2021 11:37:05 GMT

Buy Cheap – Buy Twice. We have all heard that expression and unfortunately, we may have been victim to such actions. Buying a cheap product is a false economy as it will most certainly need replacement and cost you twice as much in the long run. When it comes to CCTV security you really get what you pay for, and there is a reason why the reputable security companies are the better option.

If you are in the process appointing a security systems provider then you should consider the following:

It’s about the plan

Each business is unique and will have different requirements, so it is seldom a standard ‘out of the box’ solution. You will need a plan to keep your people, property, and product secure. Having the right design to suit your site and having a plan for implementation that suits your business is crucial.

It’s about expertise

You may not even realise the risks that exist for your business. The world is constantly changing, and the would-be intruder is getting more sophisticated. An expert security installation company will know the best ways to thwart the criminals. In addition, they will know the legislations around covert surveillance which could be something you need.

It’s about ongoing support

Having a provider that will monitor your premises 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is only one aspect of support. You will appreciate a supplier than will maintain the equipment, repair and even replace when required without any hassle for you.

It’s about quality

You may need to use footage to support a legal case, it is important that the footage is of high quality but there are other aspects to consider. The creation of reports suitable for court and the redaction of elements of the footage may be something you did not think of, but an experienced security operator will have thought of this for you.

It’s about customer care.

At TEC Security we care about our customers because we trade on our reputation. 90% of our new clients come to us on a recommendation from an existing client. We look after our clients, many of whom have been with us for decades.

Things to Consider when Installing CCTV in the Workplace

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 11:32:51 GMT

You may think that just installing one security camera on the front of your building will keep your premises secure. However, there is much more to consider when you are installing CCTV in the workplace today.

Assessing Risk and Meeting Need

It is time to assess what the immediate risks are to your business. The obvious ones could be a combination of intruders, vandals or even fly-tippers depending on your location. However, have your considered that you may also have a risk around your own team and approved visitors to your premises?

If you have a lot of traffic coming on to your site in the form of staff, contractors, suppliers and delivery people then you will need to monitor their activity while on your site. What you might need is some form of access control that works in conjunction with your security cameras. This may be ANPR (automatic number place recognition), biometric access or perimeter control systems. Knowing the risks to your business will allow your security company to provide complete coverage for your needs.

Integrated Security Solutions

Integrated security solutions will enable all systems to work seamlessly together to provide protection. The CCTV cameras will enable recording while providing a live feed that is monitored by the security company and can also be viewed on your own smartphone if required. This will be integrated with the access control to provide a full picture of your premises.

With so much emphasis on data protection, it is wise to use a trusted security company who can advise on GDPR requirements to keep you compliant with legislation around security cameras particularly if you are using this surveillance within your building for health and safety reasons.

Expert Security

You are expert at your own business, but you will not have the specialist knowledge needed to assess your site and plan the security design. This comes with expertise and previous experience and that is why it is important to choose your security supplier carefully. They will know how to position the cameras, what equipment is right for the job and what technology is needed to link everything together.

Security for Solar Energy Farms

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 11:30:27 GMT

Solar farms by their nature are situated in remote locations and can be spread across significant areas of land. When it comes to securing this site, the challenge is having valuable equipment on an open space with a wide perimeter that allows would be intruders many ways of accessing the site.

Securing Solar Farms

The installation of the security solution is only the first step. The constant monitoring of the site and the promise of ensuring instant response should a security threat be detected is vital. Having the right security solution will be a deterrent for the intruder and offer peace of mind for the owner of the solar park.

Security Experts Solar Energy

It starts with a bespoke consultation as each site will differ. Designing a robust solution is key and installing it with minimum disruption is desirable. We use the latest equipment and technology to protect day and night. Our monitoring service is reliable and will ensure an instant response.

As a leading security company, we use the latest equipment and technology such as radar control cameras, motion sensors and thermal technology to protect.

Irish Solar Energy Association

TEC Security are members of the Irish Solar Energy Association, we joined as we believe sustainable energy is important and we can be a part of this industry by offering security that reduces the theft of equipment, damage by vandals and prevents downtime to providers.

CCTV Security

CCTV camera solutions need to evolve with your project. A solar farm is much like a construction site where is grows and the camera must be moved to ensure full coverage. The cameras must protect from the perimeter right through the site for ultimate protection.

TEC Security has been installing security systems such as CCTV cameras, perimeter protection and covert surveillance for over 20 years. Our clients include local authorities, councils, embassies, Garda and government organisations so you can be assured of our prominence in the security sector.

Our monitoring service, Smart Monitoring, is a Dublin based operation that offers 24/7 security monitoring with instant response. TEC Security can offer members of Irish Solar Energy Association:

Protection of valuable assets
Perimeter protection of sites
CCTV Cameras with 24-hour monitoring
Special offers, no capital outlay, monthly payments
Design, installation, maintenance, monitoring and upgrades included

Security for the Mexican Embassy in Dublin

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 11:26:27 GMT

TEC Security were delighted to add another Embassy to their list of clients this year. The Mexican Embassy team contacted us to discuss their building security and TEC were appointed to provide the right solution.

Embassy Security

An embassy, like similar government buildings would be at a slightly higher security risk due to the nature of their activities. They would be very conscious of providing a safe environment for their staff and visitors.

Naturally, we wanted to design a solution that would prevent unwanted visitors from entering the premises in the first instance. The first stage of any consultation would usually be to identify any risk factors relating to entry points. Then we would assess what equipment is needed to monitor any perimeter areas. Having strategically placed CCTV cameras is an obvious objective in the design. We want to ensure we can monitor all activity in and around the building 24/7 during dark hours as well as daylight.

Most businesses need only be concerned about thieves or anti-social behaviour, an embassy would also have to be aware of any terrorist threats. Therefore, security is high on the agenda.

Access Control

The safety of staff is vital, and the entrance should be secure and only accessible by authorised personnel. We know from experience that an access control method needs to be secure but also easy for the staff to use.

Protecting important government officials while in the building at meetings is also a concern. CCTV solutions that integrate with the interior of an older building can be a challenge but there are solutions to all circumstances. Wireless technology certainly helps here.

We were successful in providing a security solution that protects and monitors this building while integrating with the day-to-day activities. TEC Security have built up a reputation of providing top quality security solutions for their clients needs. It was an honour to add such as prestigious client to our portfolio.

Security on Building Sites

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 11:24:06 GMT

Building sites can be attractive targets for would be intruders as they tend to have valuable equipment and building materials on site during the build. While the site would obviously be very vulnerable at night when it is empty of personnel, it is also a concern during the day particularly with the large movement of contractors in and around the site.

Vandalism on Sites

It can be difficult to protect a building site as the nature of it means that is always evolving as the build reaches a new stage. Apart from theft, vandalism can be an issue that can cost money and downtime. Any anti-social behaviour that delays the work will incur costs for the developer.

Deter, Detect, Protect & Respond

A robust solution will involve a variety of steps and multiple layers of security to protect the site and its assets.

Deter: We would look to deter the would-be intruder with CCTV in plain sight. We would restrict access to the actual building site using access control measures ensuring that only authorised personnel could gain entry.

Detect: Should somebody try to gain entry, we would detect them by using perimeter protection that allows us to see them in advance of them trying to gain entry. This is done via surveillance using CCTV placed in strategic positions.

Protect: Equipment, materials and staff need protection. We monitor and record all activity to ensure only authorised people are on site and we keep an eye on valuable equipment and materials when the site is unoccupied at night or weekends. All monitored remotely by expert staff using the latest technology.

Respond: Should an incident occur, a rapid response is important. We monitor and react via a monitoring centre based in Ireland that remotely monitor 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Our team will liaise with the Gardai when necessary and provide video footage for supporting investigations.

Get in Touch

TEC Security work with building companies such as JJ Ratigan in Ireland. We provide a complete security solution that is specifically designed for Irish building sites. We ensure the sites that we are responsible for are protected to the highest level. By using the latest technology, we can provide the most up to date security equipment and offer a well-managed monitoring system. Call our experienced team on 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie for more information.

Protecting the United Nations Building

Tue, 05 Jan 2021 11:21:25 GMT

The United Nations is a global organisation promoting peace, dignity, and equality on a healthy planet. When they needed to upgrade the security of their Dublin office, we were on hand to consult with them on the design required.

Risk Assessment

As with any new client, we will start with a risk assessment. During a consultation we will look at the existing security systems and create a risk assessment that lists what needs to be prioritised. When it comes to providing security for any government building or critical business it is vital to ensure we are keeping the people within the property safe first. We start by looking at all access points, existing measures and any vulnerabilities that may need attention.

A concern for all our clients is to make sure that if there is an intruder or some security breach then it is monitored and responded to appropriately and in a timely fashion. With our wealth of expertise, we could provide some case studies to show how such an event would be handled. Monitoring measures, adaptable equipment and technology all come into play here.

Protecting Information

As you would imagine, there is a wealth of sensitive data held on these premises so it is important that only authorized personnel can get access to the premises and certain areas of the building. However, the security solution provided must fit in with the daily running of the operation. Security is there to enhance, not hinder the client’s operations. We will always design around the operations of a business and each solution will have its own bespoke elements.

High Level Security

In addition to using the most up to date technology and security equipment we must provide a feeling of trust and confidence with potential new clients. Our track record working with embassies and other government bodies means that the new client can have confidence. We know that one size does not fit all. For this Dublin office we used our experience to create a robust complete security solution that protects and was a good fit for the client.

Intruder Alarms

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 16:17:22 GMT

When it comes to your home or business premises the same logic applies, install security measures to keep unwanted visitors out. An intruder alarm will act as a deterrent in the first place and can reduce the loss and damage of a break-in should it occur.

Not all intruder alarms are equal and your system should be designed for your requirements. At TEC Security we only use the highest quality equipment to prevent false or non-activation. Our designs are based on our experience and the latest technology to ensure a high level of cover.

Wired and Wireless Intruder Alarm Systems

We install intruder alarms for residential and commercial units offering cost effective options but not reducing quality. Contact and inertia sensors are used on entry points such as doors and windows giving early warning before the intruder gains entry. Passive infrared beams (PIR) are placed internally to detect movement when the alarm is on. When the beam is broken the built in camera takes a short burst of photos which can be sent directly to the key holder. Allowing you to see if an intruder is on your premises.

In addition to protecting property we also consider the person and use panic attack buttons, fixed and portable, to give assurance. Perimeter control such as motion detectors, electric fencing or CCTV cameras are additional security methods that can alert you to intruders before they even get to the door. The system can be designed to be set while on the premises giving complete peace of mind. We offer 24-hour monitoring services and can provide you with technology to view certain elements of your alarm activity via smartphone.

It is important that your security system works for you that is why we visit your premises to discuss your needs. Our expert team will assess your risks and design a system that is bespoke. We can integrate a number of security solutions to add layers of security where needed. TEC Security help protect you and your property.

What is CCTV?

Fri, 18 Dec 2020 16:03:40 GMT

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is commonly known as video surveillance. It refers to the use of video cameras that transmit a signal to a place with monitors. It sends the images point-to-point (P2P) quite commonly. However, there is more of a tendency to also allow the footage to be shared wirelessly to smartphones and other destinations.

Why CCTV?

It is used where surveillance is needed in areas needing more security or ongoing monitoring. It would be commonly used in commercial situations such as offices, warehouses, and factories where theft or intruders could be a threat. CCTV is popular in public spaces such as shopping centres, busy pedestrian streets and even on public transport. This is to protect members of the public and to monitor and record any anti-social behaviour. The inclusion of security cameras in the home to protect homeowners and property has almost become the norm now.

Video Footage

The footage from these cameras is shared in real time to a monitoring centre either on the premises or in a control room based centrally. It will also be recorded and stored securely, normally in the cloud. This would be in case it is needed later to support a query, legal case or help with an investigation. Some of this footage may need to be redacted before sharing to comply with data protection legislation.

The quality of the recordings can vary depending on equipment and newer cameras will supply nighttime footage to the same quality as daylight hours. Other cameras are not operating 24 hours a day but are triggered by motion. Commercially many CCTV systems are incorporated with access control for a tighter security solution.

Benefits of CCTV

Security cameras are used for crime prevention, they are a deterrent to the would-be intruder who does not want to risk being seen. The footage helps to solve crimes, from tracing missing persons to monitoring somebody’s movements. In the busy world we all live in, CCTV is being used to increase safety in public places by reducing anti-social behaviour and theft. A great tool in the fight against crime and the process of keeping people, product and premises safer.

The Benefits of Security Cameras in Public Places

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 16:01:35 GMT

We have CCTV cameras in our homes and businesses to protect our property and people. It makes sense to have security cameras in the public spaces where we spend time.

Prevent & Protect

Prevention is always better than trying to find a cure afterwards. People feel more comfortable when they know they are in a safe area. CCTV cameras help you feel safe when out and about as they are a deterrent to criminals and those wishing to be involved in anti-social behaviour.

The reason why all shops and shopping centres invest significant amounts of money in security is to provide a safe place for customers and staff to spend time in. An extra level of security will not only monitor behaviour but prove to deter theft in stores.

When it comes to CCTV and vehicles, cameras in carparks and on traffic monitoring using the latest ANPR and surveillance technology will be of huge benefit to the authorities.

Public Safety

Some people may have concerns around privacy. It should be noted that cameras are normally only placed in areas where somebody would not normally expect privacy. Examples would include a busy street in town, a park where public events take place, or perhaps a stretch of road that is extensively used.

These security cameras help the Gardaí and those involved with public safety to keep the general public safe. Crime is unfortunately at a high rate. We could not imagine how high the numbers would climb without these security measures.

Covert CCTV

CCTV cameras are normally made quite visible for a variety of reasons. However, some cameras are designed to be used covertly. This will happen for specific reasons such as tracing or monitoring specific people that are committing crimes in an area. Covert surveillance has been a huge boost for reducing illegal dumping for example. The footage involved being used as evidence in court cases which have resulted in multiples of prosecutions and fines.

Private security companies that monitor crowds at events to preventing petty crime are becoming common place. Those visible cameras are a great deterrent against crime and anti-social activities. It is important that those monitoring the activities are using the most up to date equipment and technology to do an effective job. At TEC Security we work with local authorities, private companies and those charged with providing security for the public. We know having the right systems in place will keep everybody much safer.

Why Retailers Should Have an Up To Date Security Solution Installed

Fri, 09 Oct 2020 15:59:10 GMT

We know that having CCTV cameras are a must have for any business these days. However, it is more important that ever to ensure the security systems you have in place are up to date. The right selection of CCTV surveillance cameras will be a good investment that will pay for itself when reducing stock loss, anti-social behaviour and worry for the business owner.

Reduce Theft

Theft of stock can have a significant effect on your bottom line. A CCTV camera in full view will be a deterrent, sending on the would-be thief to another location. Shoplifters will only operate in places where they are less likely to get caught. If somebody tries to steal in your store, your security staff will be monitoring the footage in real time and can act immediately. In addition, any footage can be used to support legal action.

Securing Your Premises Constantly

Your CCTV cameras are working 24 hours a day, every day of the week. The footage will be viewable from your smartphone when the premises is shut out of hours. Many would be intruders prefer to take advantage of quiet night-time hours when they may not be detected. Modern security cameras take night time footage that is a clear as footage taken in the middle of the day.

Protect your staff and your business

Having CCTV will also protect your staff as they know if there are any issues with anti-social behaviour or bullying it will be caught on the footage. New employees that might be tempted to help themselves to stock will think twice. With the addition of covert cameras vandalism and dumping can also be monitored.

Fraudulent claims

Insurance claims for falls or injury by customers or staff on the premises can be a concern. Footage can be used as supporting evidence in court, so it is important it is captured on high definition cameras. This footage will be stored securely in the cloud and having a security company that can implement a redaction service to comply with GDPR is key.

Expert Advice

Retail security is all about having the right cameras in the right place. At TEC Security we use our experience and expertise to protect clients from the carpark right through the store and into the back-storage areas. We use the latest technology to ensure cameras are set at the right angles to capture all the action with no black out spots. If your retail store needs a new security solution get in touch with our expert team today 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie .

Security During Covid-19

Fri, 11 Sep 2020 15:56:35 GMT

Using Security to aid Social Distancing

As more businesses open and people try to return to work, owners will be anxious to ensure all safety measures are in place to allow the business to function effectively and safely. One of the important measures will be to limit unnecessary contact with both team members and the public.

Access control systems will ensure only small numbers of necessary workers and suppliers can access your premises. This will prevent members of the public entering where they are not currently welcome. Using CCTV cameras can help limit access to your premises by monitoring people’s movements. These cameras could also be a method to ensure people are wearing PPE gear where instructed. By monitoring restricted areas and restricting the movement of visitor to the site it is possible to keep areas sanitized and safer. All this activity can be tracked from the office or on your smartphone from home, ensuring everybody is keeping compliant within the guidelines set for them.

Using the latest security technology, you will be able to watch your commercial property 24 hours a day, every day of the year. You can ensure your business is compliant with all necessary protocols around Covid-19. You will be keeping your team safe, limiting access to visitors, and monitoring all areas to ensure the necessary steps are being taken to protect you and your team.

Security to Detect

We can add more safety measures to prevent the spread of infection. Fever detection to prevent those that may be ill from entering the premises will help in the first instance. You will need a system that is easy to install, will work seamlessly without too much complicated instructions. One that is fast, accurate and reliable.

Security Against Intruders

Also, with less people in your premises, security to keep out would be intruders is more important than ever. Security cameras and access control systems have always helped to protect a business. However, in these unusual times we can harness the value of the technology to further protect our teams and keep our business open.

Perimeter Protection for Your Business

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 15:54:11 GMT

Any robust security solution will consist of layers of protection. It all starts with protecting the perimeter of your site.

Security Technology

At TEC Security we use the latest technology to provide a solution that fits your site specifically. Our design team will ensure everything is correctly positioned on paper before the installation team arrive on site.

Our technology will identify anybody coming close to your perimeter and then our human security expert will verify if there is an issue. It’s important to minimise false alerts as that wastes time and resources. Therefore we only use the highest quality systems. If there is an issue, our team can react in real time.

Visible Security

The security cameras we want them to see will be in full view and the equipment is positioned to be vandal proof. All footage captured will be in high resolution and kept securely if needed in investigations later.

Prevent a Break In

Prevention is always better than cure. If you can see the threat before it arrives on the scene it is possible to keep them off your property in the first place. We can interact with the would-be intruder by voice so they know they are being watched by a human who can and will call the authorities if they do not leave. In most cases this is enough to solve the issue. Where it needs to be escalated, we look after that too.

You may want to have access to your security footage, so we enable you to view activity from your smartphone from anywhere in the world. Detailed reports will accompany any footage for client’s information or in criminal investigations.

Affordable Security

Easy monthly costs with no large investment in equipment on your behalf is what makes us the popular option. We will install and maintain equipment and ensure it is always to the highest standard, upgrading when necessary. A complete package, sometimes for as little as €7 per day. Your security systems maintained, serviced and regularly tested to ensure top performance with no large outlay for you.

Can CCTV Surveillance Systems Improve Security?

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:46:21 GMT

CCTV surveillance technology has come a long way in the past ten years. Of course, CCTV is predominately seen as a crime deterrent but with improved technology it has evolved both in functionality and in the way it interacts with other platforms to provide a more rounded security solution.

Integration with Security Technology

CCTV surveillance has evolved to include high definition recording and video footage storage. With the improvement of images has come a rise in the use of video analytics. This allows the software to recognise a person and follow them from camera to camera. The ability to precisely identify a person serves as an efficient forensic tool.

Modern-day CCTV surveillance systems are more sophisticated than ever and can detect and generate alerts in real-time when suspicious activities are occurring. The ability for integration with other security technologies lets security personnel monitor efficiently. Analytics will allow them to follow a person from when they enter the site and monitor their every movement until they leave. All automated and highly accurate.

Modern CCTV Security Systems

Artificial Intelligence video algorithms are used as the underlying technology in modern CCTV surveillance systems. Some of the outstanding features of the latest CCTV surveillance systems include motion detection, real-time alerts, and face recognition.

Another set of high-end features include object-recognition. The CCTV surveillance systems can identify suspicious objects at the premises that are not meant to be there. After identifying the presence of suspicious activities or objects, the system will alert security staff.

Crime Deterrent

CCTV cameras will always act as a crime deterrent but now they have many other roles. Monitoring activity allows reporting in real time, allowing decisions to be made when a potential incident may occur. They also allow the collection of evidence in video format and with cloud storage can hold large quantities of records for a significant time.

A Rise in Intruder Activity

Fri, 26 Jun 2020 10:56:04 GMT

In the past months there have been many office buildings left locked up and unoccupied. With less activity these buildings have become very attractive to the would-be intruder. This rise in Intruder activity has been a real concern for many businesses.

Security Prevention

TEC Security staff are recording a significant rise in attempted break-ins, thankfully most have been prevented with the enhanced security systems our clients have in place. Prevention is always the best course of action and making your premises less attractive to the would-be criminal will always be advisable. The installation of CCTV cameras in strategic places will be your first step. Enhanced access control at gates will ensure only welcome visitors gain access. A further control at the door will complete the process of keeping uninvited guests out.

Perimeter Breaching

We normally see breaches of perimeters outside of office working times and mostly under the cover of darkness. However, with less activity on premises at present, the alerts received are coming in during daylight hours. Having a tight control on your perimeter will alert security staff to the presence of somebody on site even before they get to the actual building. Once an alert is received the cameras will pick up the intruder and security staff can speak with them remotely and advise them to leave the area. In most cases this solves the issue, however, the Gardai can always be notified if the intruder decides not to flee.

Security That Protects

Thankfully, with carefully monitored security systems most attempts have been foiled and our client buildings remain secure. Office buildings, manufacturing plants, warehousing facilities and other commercial premises will always be a temptation to intruders. Ensure you protect your site with a security solution that offers different layers of security. TEC Security offer a personal security consultation service where we can identify the risks and design a bespoke solution to keep you, your property, your staff and your goods secure.

Covert CCTV in Action

Mon, 30 Mar 2020 10:53:49 GMT

In most cases we use CCTV cameras as a deterrent. Cameras on display will make that property less attractive to the would-be intruder. The criminal does not want to risk getting caught on camera so will tend to move to another less protected property. However, CCTV can also be used for covert surveillance and our success with this has been well documented.

Hidden Cameras

TEC Security are renowned for assisting local authorities in the fight against illegal dumping throughout Ireland. By using top quality cameras, we can place them in situations where they are not noticed easily. We can then observe activity and produce evidence for convictions for vandalism, antisocial behaviour or illegal dumping. The cameras can also be positioned to observe incidents of harassment or stalking in extreme circumstances. The recordings can be used to prosecute and support claims in court.

Retail Theft

Covert video is especially useful in the retail sector to prevent theft and to protect employees and customers. By knowing what equipment to use and where to position the cameras, this solution can save retailers from theft while protecting employees.

TEC Security Services are the largest covert solutions provider in Ireland our services extend to most Local Authorities, Councils, Garda & Government Organisations. Worldwide trends show CCTV reduces crime in cities by 15% when surveillance systems are placed in the correct locations. TEC Security have proven this concept with over 225,000 fines and prosecutions secured for illegal dumping in Ireland

The Importance of Selecting the Right Security Company

Sun, 02 Feb 2020 10:51:04 GMT

A Google search will give you plenty of options when it comes to finding somebody to look after the security of your premises. However, with something so important there are significant factors that you need to consider when selecting the right security provider for you.

Experience in Security

You will want to know how long they have been operating and ensure they have all the necessary qualifications, insurances and systems in place. Picking a company that has been specialising in offering security systems for similar businesses to yours is important. Working with an established business will give you peace of mind that you have a team with both experience and expertise.

A Solid Reputation

Any good business will tell you that most of their business comes from referrals from existing clients. Finding out who the potential supplier has worked with in the past will give you an opportunity to find out what they are like as a working partner. They should have no difficulty in supplying references and will certainly have a selection of testimonials on their website for all the world to view.

Security is their Main Business

An expert security company will only concentrate on their industry and any diversification will be within the area of security. Hopefully they will show you the way they have innovated in the past and how they continue to search out new and better technologies to help improve the service they offer clients. Locally owned and operated is always a good sign, as is access to the best equipment in the security industry.

Customer Focused

When you appoint a company that will design and implement your security solution, you will want a team that is focussed on providing the perfect solution for you as an individual client. In most cases, you will be working with this company as they monitor your CCTV, provide you with video footage and support you in many ways. You need a partner that will be there for you when you need them, just as your security equipment will be on 24 hours a day, every day.

Cost Effective

There are many cheap suppliers in the market but the old saying ‘you get what you pay for’ comes into play here. However, the cost will be an important factor when deciding on appointing a security advisor and implementing the security plan. A good partner will offer you a fixed monthly cost option that includes all necessary elements. There should be no surprises or anything that affects your cash flow.

Get in Touch

When choosing a security company for your business you need to do your research. Get to know your provider, build a solid relationship with them and let them protect your premises, your product and your team. TEC Security are a long-established Irish Security Business that work with businesses of all sizes to provide them with a security solution to fit their needs.

It is also commonly used on construction sites to prevent illegal entry day or night. Such systems are in place in banks, financial institutions, museums, embassies and other high-risk situations around the world. The system is used frequently worldwide in pedestrian only areas to monitor for illegal vehicle access or indeed pedestrians walking on roads.

Best Equipment Always

Bright lights or shadows do not affect this system like they might a lower quality system. TEC use the most up to date analytics technology to ensure a solution that protects. Based on years of experience, we build and install our systems to prevent vandalism and to avoid tampering.

When you appoint us as your security solution provider, we will assess the site and choose the best space. We then set clear borders to define the area to be protected.

10 Ways to Protect Your Business

Tue, 10 Dec 2019 09:14:10 GMT

Prevention is always better than cure and that certainly rings true when it comes to being proactive about protecting your business.

Your business premises are home to your most important assets – your staff, your product, your data and the tools you need to complete your work. Without these vital ingredients your business cannot survive. Here are 10 ways to adequately protect them:

1. Risk Assessment

How secure is your business premises? By engaging with an experienced security company, you can get invaluable advice about your security needs. They will take an in depth look, not only at the actual building but also at the way you operate. Only then can they see where the risks are and suggest relevant measures.

2. Secure the Premises with Alarms

Having an alarm will alert your monitoring service that there is an issue. This might be an alarm that occurs in the middle of the night when a would-be intruder is trying to gain access. However, it may also be an alarm during working hours when unauthorised access to a sensitive part of the building is attempted. Those monitoring the alarms can act immediately if necessary.

3. Access Control

Your first barrier of security will be at the entrance to the building. With advances in technology, biometric access control is becoming more popular with staff member access. Temporary access to the facility for visitors can be implemented, allowing management to control the flow of people on site.

4. Protect Your Team with CCTV

Not just any security camera will do when it comes to commercial premises. Installing the best, most modern technology will provide the surveillance you need. Internal and external CCTV cameras that cover all areas are a must in todays world.

5. Secure Your Equipment with Perimeter Protection

Perimeter protection can include CCTV cameras, heat sensitive sensors, thermal imaging technology and more. Stopping the intruder well before they approach the building will be the aim.

6. Watch Your Stock

Cameras on the stock in the warehouse will help manage shrinkage. Recording it being delivered and packed away will ensure tight control. You can even add technology that can travel in the vehicle to monitor stock in transit if required.

7. Employee Theft (and Misbehavior)

Unfortunately, human nature and bad decisions can lead to employee theft and this can be very damaging for the employer. Stealing product or information lead to all types of issues and it’s best to put into place some mechanism that will discourage this. Specialised cameras that will capture theft or misbehavior, such as bullying or false claims are part of the modern security setting.

8. Professional Advice

Having an expert security consultant to hand will prove invaluable when it comes to getting advice on procedures and improvements. Even having a company that will supply CCTV footage if needed, and in redacted format if necessary, cannot be underestimated.

9. Regular Monitoring

When you go home, who is watching your premises? Having a control room with experienced staff who will monitor the activity of your building while you sleep will give great peace of mind. A reputable security company can offer this service to you.

10. Proactive Maintenance

Being proactive when it comes to security is important. Employing an efficient security company will result in regularly maintenance of the equipment and the system that is put in place. Watching for issues and working to eliminate them before any damage is caused will save time and money.

How to Select the Right CCTV Surveillance Cameras for Your Business

Thu, 14 Nov 2019 09:11:37 GMT

You work hard to grow and develop your business. You don’t need somebody to steal your success by breaking in to burgle or vandalise your property, or indeed threaten your staff. CCTV will provide a layer of security that goes along way to prevent this. But how do you ensure you have the right equipment in place to provide this protection?

TEC Security have been protecting businesses from potential criminal activity for over 20 years. We ensure you have the right CCTV equipment in place with a system that is designed for your needs specifically.

Quality CCTV

‘You get what you pay for’ they say, and it is true when it comes to cameras, not all are equal. We only use quality equipment manufactured by global leaders in the industry. These tried and trusted security cameras are not the cheapest, but they are the most reliable, robust and advanced on the market.

Surveillance Cameras

You will need a variety of cameras to attain a complete solution: wireless, indoor, outdoor, motion detecting, dome cameras and perhaps more. You will also want to have access to your footage from anywhere. Once you have an internet connection, with our solutions you can access footage from inside the building, a laptop outside of the building, or from a smartphone anywhere in the world.

Systems that alert you if they detect motion outside of normal business hours on the premises may replace the need for you to hire security personnel to be there. The latest Cloud-based solutions are for businesses that prefer to store their information digitally for later use. If you want to review some footage after an incident, you can search recordings by date, time and events. There is also live-streaming and remote viewing options so if you notice something when you are off site, you can inform a working employee if something is amiss.

Best Security Camera Selection

Not all cameras are the same, each is designed to perform different tasks. The indoor and outdoor security systems will provide complete cover when designed to complement each other. These will come complete with full tilt and pan functions that can be controlled remotely.

Cameras that are motion sensing will protect at night and can also be used where you have areas of your building that you want to limit access to. An infrared night vision camera will capture usable images when it is dark, this is important particularly at perimeter areas.

Fixed cameras set to one position are commonplace and have their own uses. PTZ cameras will pan left/right, up/down and turn all around to get a complete picture of everything going on in the space being monitored. These cameras can also zoom in and out.

TEC Security can help you achieve the level of security that you need. We will design the perfect security solution for you and will never suggest anything that’s not necessary.

Enabling Smart Technology to Drive Consumer Confidence

Fri, 01 Nov 2019 09:09:01 GMT

Stephen Tyrrell, Managing Director at TEC Security talks about what is possible for the homeowner and how to integrate new innovative smart technologies such as 'Zerowire'.

As innovative technology continues to rapidly evolve and become more compatible with smart, programmed devices, it becomes less reliant on human involvement. With a focus on autonomous and technical development, smart solutions such as the new ‘ ZeroWire ’ products makes protecting properties even easier.

Stephen Tyrrell of TEC Security has an aim to make use of technology and its ever-growing capabilities in a smart, forward-thinking way, to improve and revolutionise home security and strategies.

According to a recent survey, in total, almost 250,000 burglaries were recorded in Ireland between January 2009 and December 2018, with an insurance cost running into tens of millions of euros. According to research by the Department of Justice, break-ins are most likely to occur during the day. Burglars are most likely to enter homes on weekdays between 10am and 11am or from 1pm to 3pm. Though many people only worry about night-time security, most burglaries occur during daylight hours when most people are at work, school, or running errands.

It’s important to take precautions during the day, at night, and any time you leave the house to ensure your home stays secure. While the obvious precautions, such as installing sensor lights and locking mechanisms for your windows and doors should always be taken seriously, you must also be vigilant and try to understand that the modern criminal has evolved over time and has become astute to simple precautions.

With over 25 years in the industry and with an exceptional and experienced workforce, TEC Security are constantly evolving and investing in new innovative smart technologies and techniques to outsmart these menaces of society. “It is interesting to see smart technologies such as ‘ZeroWire’ becoming a more prominent smart resolution alongside, or replacing existing technologies, to create a safer and more secure environment,” says Stephen Tyrrell. “One example of this is to look at the ‘ZeroWire’ smart alarm solution and how innovative technologies like this can be used in securing your home or business. I thought it would be interesting to recognise the possible integration of ‘ZeroWire’ smart alarm, as it has the potential to make promising changes to the way we secure our property."

Protecting Your Home

TEC Security are making it even easier to protect your home or business. Stephen explains, “The ‘ZeroWire’ smart alarm application is the security solution of the future and can integrate with existing wireless alarms, many other smart devices, such as ‘Alexa, smart video intercoms and CCTV' and is available to homeowners at a very impressive and affordable easy payment price tag. This system is quick on installation and each system is designed to suit the client’s requirements. Each element of the set up takes the client’s needs into consideration, and using our expertise, we advise on the best solution for them." The ‘ZeroWire’ smart alarm solution can cut out the middleman (Control Centre). It can offer the homeowner direct remote access and intruder notification on their mobile phone, should an alarm event occur. The homeowner can also get visual verification of their property and evaluate the extent of the intrusion.

With minimum investment you too can secure your property with the entry level ‘ZeroWire’ smart alarm solution, all of which can be controlled from an app on your mobile phone, tablet or local keypad. The ‘ZeroWire’ smart alarm doesn’t require any wiring (except mains power to the panel) and is completely wireless and nonintrusive. CCTV technology is striving in leaps and bounds and is becoming smarter. We can not only fool the intruder; we can out-SMART the intruder!

CCTV Security in the Pharmaceutical Sector

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 09:02:43 GMT

The Pharma sector in Ireland operate in a highly regulated sector which is why security is of paramount importance. These centres operate with expensive equipment, valuable active ingredients and intellectual property that need to be protected. With a high level of staff, contractors and visitors each day, monitoring activity and protection is a challenging operation.

CCTV On Site

Security starts with a full site security assessment to identify risks and threats; this is where an experienced security company comes into its own. Putting a site security plan in place that satisfies requirements and ensures the protection of critical infrastructure is key.

Installing the latest CCTV cameras and technology will allow effective monitoring of traffic on the site. Giving full visibility of all activity on the site always both day and night. This monitoring should be from perimeter areas right through to internal rooms. A dynamic intelligent system is required that includes high definition mega pixel CCTV with the latest technology. AI analytics for accurate monitoring is another viable option.

High Level of Security

A high level of security is needed not only for the valuable stock but indeed to ensure that critical products should not get in the wrong hands. Special security requirements will be needed for each site. Surveillance cameras work in tandem with access control and intruder alarms.

Security Barriers

Automated barriers and gates use the latest technology for greatest reliability. Reducing the need for physical staff to be on every entrance. Controlled within the building but with full audio and visual control at the point of entry. Built to be sturdy enough to prevent unwanted access but easy let visitors in without delaying them.

Biometric Access Control

Accountability, allowing only authorised personnel into each section, monitoring where in the building they are at any time is all part of access control. Should an incident occur and evacuation take place, accounting for staff and visitors will be seamless.

CCTV Security Solutions for Colleges and Schools

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 09:00:05 GMT

Ensuring that pupils, teachers, staff and school buildings are safe from criminal and accidental incidents requires CCTV security that is specially designed by experts.

With many people accessing the grounds and buildings it is advisable to have a way of monitoring that also considers the security of all, that is why expert CCTV installers are advisable.

It’s a place that needs to be ready every Monday morning and burglaries that occur will cause unwanted disruption. Intruders at the weekends or during holiday time are a real threat and all methods of deterrent should be explored.

Access Control for Schools

The security of people; staff, students and visitors is most important. Access control means monitoring and controlling who is entering the building and what areas they have access to. It starts at the entrance with access barriers to car parks to manage parking and ensure only authorised vehicles are allowed entry. Only certain staff should have access to all areas, so internal door access should be controlled. Keeping strangers out and ensuring students are safe in their classrooms and not roaming about is vital.

CCTV Cameras

CCTV cameras will provide protection for the property and the staff vehicles. It will monitor activity in real time and provide CCTV footage for viewing later if needed.

Access Control and CCTV for Property Management

Fri, 04 Oct 2019 12:19:09 GMT

Security of your property will be a top priority for any property management company. Managing an apartment complex or residential development will involve many aspects for the facility manager. The overall development will require a robust security solution that works seamlessly.

CCTV Security

Security cameras will help protect the building and keep the property secure. CCTV Security will be an obvious solution, but how can you ensure the system you are installing is the right one for you? This involves some expert advice and a clear design that is fit for the residential or commercial development.

A robust security solution is not just plug and play, some planning is required for a project like this. Using an expert installation company that knows both the legal restrictions and where to best position cameras is key. A security system should protect tenants, guard property while not infringing on anyone’s privacy rights. An experienced CCTV installation company will know where to install CCTV in common areas both internal and external.

GDPR is a new challenge for property management businesses. Getting consent for the erection of CCTV cameras can be a tricky one, but when handled by an expert it should make the process more straightforward. You may need to supply CCTV footage as part of a legal claim at some stage, this may need to be redacted before supplying. Having video redaction as a service included in a maintenance contract is a significant advantage.

Access Control

CCTV goes hand in hand with access control and they should integrate to get the best results. Systems that work equally well during nighttime darkness are required. Automatic barriers at entrances such as a carpark is the first step. Biometric or fob access points at all main entrances is a must for security. Motion sensors and cameras that get all angles, zoom in and out and rotate as the operator requires will help protect. All should use the latest IP CCTV camera equipment and technology.

Intruder Alarms

When it comes to burglar alarms, the latest technology uses wireless alarm systems. These are designed as bespoke systems that are easy and quick to install without much mess. This technology works well and allows more control and reliability than older systems. Another advantage is that alarms can be integrated with CCTV and therefore footage can be viewed on smartphones when the manager is away from the building.

CCTV Systems for Commercial Properties

Mon, 30 Sep 2019 12:16:02 GMT

Crime will always be present, and the threat of intruders is ever present today and of concern to business owners. We know that we must protect our businesses from harm but how can we be sure we have the right security solution? CCTV for any commercial premises is a must have. Demand for the best CCTV technology is increasing as commercial premises are becoming more at risk. As a major CCTV supplier in Ireland we know that installing CCTV systems will certainly decrease the likelihood of your business being a statistic of criminal behaviour.

CCTV Deterrent

Commercial CCTV cameras will act as a deterrent as the would-be intruder will know there is a form of security surveillance in place. A risk of getting caught means they will be more likely to move on to an easier target. Using the latest technology such as hi definition and IP cameras is important.

CCTv Installation

With a robust CCTV security solution, this allows you to monitor certain areas with cameras. The activity can be monitored in real time whilst also being recorded for viewing later if necessary. Should there be any suspicious activity it can be checked out straight away. Footage can be used later for investigations if required.

Do I Need CCTV?

If you have a business premises then you need CCTV, it’s as simple as that. No matter how big or small your operation you will need a system that prevents crime in the first place and can be used to detect and prosecute if necessary.

CCTV for staff monitoring also has benefits. When your business grows so does the number of staff working for you. CCTV can help ensure there are no issues with employee theft. Staff need to feel safe and monitoring for threatening or bullying behaviour, CCTV will act as a deterrent as the bully will know they are being monitored. It will be valuable also as evidence should any accidents or incidents occur in the workplace.

Designing a CCTV Solution

Placing the security cameras in the right position is very important. That is where expert advice is needed. Installing CCTV systems for commercial properties is a skill that comes with experience. Placing the cameras in the right positions - being obvious and highly visible, covering all areas with no blind spots is important. At entry points such as gates, barriers, doors, entrance points need to be covered. Where the burglar might enter and where people come and go are the areas for recording activity. Security will also be needed internally (corridors, warehouses) and externally (car parks etc.).

Protecting Construction Sites

Fri, 27 Sep 2019 12:12:32 GMT

If you want a secure construction site, you will have to plan for a complete security solution that will be both robust and adaptable. Construction sites will be more complicated than an existing building due to the ever-changing nature of the project.

The Design

Each site will have its own requirements and challenges depending on the location and the scope of the project. It is important that any solution offered has been designed as a bespoke one, taking into account any specific requirements. A certain level of expertise in this area is needed to ensure nothing is missed.

Quick Installation

Nothing should hold up construction as delays cost time and money. A quick deploy solution will be needed, having the units containing CCTV cameras being built and configured off site ready for a quick installation the moment they are required. The right equipment is important to ensure all areas of the site are accessible with no blind spots. The latest technology allows an operator to zoom and rotate the cameras from the monitoring station as required.

Temporary CCTV

As the building works develop the CCTV security cameras will need to move location. With the specially designed TEC rapid deployment method, this can be arranged within minutes rather than days. The units are designed to be used in challenging locations, even those that do not have a ready power supply.

Access Control

On a building site the last thing needed is uninvited guests. With up to the minute biometric access control only those registered to work on the site will be allowed access. This eliminates the worry about lost fobs or swipe cards. It also has the added advanced of not allowing anybody to ‘clock in’ for another employee. Keeping health and safety happy with an accurate account of who is on site and when.

Supply of CCTV footage

If there is an incident on site such as an intruder or accident of some type, it will be captured on CCTV footage. It is important that you as a client know that the footage is available to you, is stored securely and destroyed in the correct manner when the time comes. If you do need some footage to support a claim in court you will want to ensure you are covered for GDPR requirements. Having a security company that can redact the footage is another added bonus. Saving you the time and effort in having to arrange this yourself.

Get in Touch

A construction site is an area that requires a security solution that works well. Having the expertise to devise and install such a system is something that TEC Security prides itself on. We can create a design that incorporates access control, CCTV cameras and a quick deploy process. Call us today for a confidential consultation on 00353 1 404 5124 or email info@tecsecurity.ie .

Why Automatic Doors and Gates Make Sense for Business

Thu, 15 Aug 2019 12:10:09 GMT

The popularity of installing automatic doors and gates in business today is not surprising. Not only will this extra layer of security protect your premises, it will also allow for a certain level of privacy. Only those whom you want to enter will be able to gain access. An automatic gate or barrier at your entrance will also be very convenient. So, what happens when you use automatic gates and doors? Well, the process of security and privacy becomes automatic.

Safe, efficient and reliable

Having an automatic gate will mean you won’t have to employ a security person to stand at your entrance. It can be controlled from the office space and set to allow those with a security code or fob to gain access. With new technology, the gate can even be controlled via smartphone apps. This allows you to view and allow access even outside of office hours.

Secure, strong and suitable for the Irish weather

The newest automatic gates and doors are made with robust materials and offer high-end security and privacy to the building and workspace. Designed to last for many years and with little maintenance they are reliable and efficient. Once installed correctly, they do not require special expertise to operate and are built to last.

Making the building secure

It is important that your stock and premises are secure, but it is even more important that your staff feel safe in their workplace. With automatic doors and gates the visitor will have to request entry and their activity can be viewed via camera. It is also possible to have a system to speak directly with them to verify their reason for entry. Receiving these images and having the ability of engaging in a conversation will allow staff to refuse or accept them as a visitor to the site.

Use specific doors and gates

Apart from the entrance to your business park or warehouse, you can also have automatic doors within your premises for further security. Available in various sizes and for different functions, they are separately designed for use in different circumstances. Your warehouse will become more secure than ever with large roller gates for loading bays. You can also install automatic internal doors leading to different departments within the building.

CCTV for Ships

Fri, 12 Apr 2019 12:06:54 GMT

CCTV is commonplace in many workplaces and public areas and ships are no different when it comes to their security needs. Increasingly there is a requirement to improve on-board security with up to the minute CCTV security systems.

It is understandable that maritime applications will differ from on-shore activities. There is a need to be able to view all that is happening on board. It can be a demanding environment and it is vital that any equipment used on board is not only fit for purpose but reliable and robust. Watching activities throughout the vessel and being more in control at all times will give additional reassurance.

Ship Security

There will be security systems to suit all size of marine vessel. From straight forward security cameras that show real time activity in a fixed position to more advanced systems which will view and record at all angles throughout the ship. Recording both day and night and allowing footage to be viewed on board or ashore as required.

Maritime CCTV solutions have become more advanced in recent years just as ships have become more sophisticated. Cameras are now used to monitor and protect staff, freight and equipment. In particular, their use to record unloading and off-loading proves invaluable when it comes to processing any potential claims. Used to help increase safety, ensure efficiency and the comfort of all the crew, CCTV is becoming common place. Even the concept of using the cameras to view beyond the vessel to give optimum vision all around the ship aids operational purposes.

The CCTV security solution will be speciality designed and installed to suit the conditions of a ship at sea. It’s not even just for the enormous freight ships, this specialised video security can be used for cruise ships, pleasure boats or yachts, in fact any marine or inland water vessel. While fixed cameras may be popular there will also be situations that require a range of CCTV cameras including PTZ, dome, analogue, IP. The option for thermal imagery for night time recording is another great benefit.

Boats & Yachts

Due to their valuable nature, yachts and pleasure boats will also need protection. Owners will agree that it’s not only the monetary value but the inconvenience of damage that may hamper planned trips. The boat will be an asset but will also be a means to partake in an enjoyable pastime. The risk of theft, damage, trespass or vandalism can be reduced with a robust security system.

TEC Security recently installed a CCTV Security Solution on-board the ILV Granuaile, the vessel operated by The Commissioners of Irish Lights. We brought our expertise to this unique project and we delighted with the results.

How To Stop The Shop Lifters

Thu, 07 Mar 2019 12:03:50 GMT

Shoplifting costs the retail industry in Ireland millions of euro every year and affects both small and large businesses. Even if a small percentage is built into the retail price for ‘shrinkage’ this still may not cover the costs of having stock stolen from the shop.

While it is impossible to totally eliminate theft, there are certain things you can implement to reduce it significantly. You can install signs and mirrors and you can educate staff to profile potential thieves but there is no replacement for technology when it comes to security.

CCTV for Retail

It is said that prevention is better than a cure and this is where a robust security solution comes into its own. Having a modern CCTV security system installed is no longer a luxury but is a must have today. The latest security cameras have the ability to observe and record activity with amazing clarity. The would be thief will be aware of the power of megapixel CCTV and this will firstly act as a deterrent. They may move on to an easier target, leaving your stock safely on the shelf. However, if the opportunist decides to take the chance and help themselves to some stock, all will be recorded and ready for viewing by the local Gardaí for prosecution purposes.

Your Shop & Retail

In certain circumstances you may not want all your cameras to be so noticeable. Covert CCTV can play an important part in your protection. Systems can be easily installed and monitored via a smartphone when IP cameras are part of the solution. Footage will also be recorded using HD systems, eliminating useless grainy images forever.

Temporary CCTV

Fri, 01 Mar 2019 12:00:23 GMT

While installing CCTV in a regular office building is pretty straightforward there are certain situations where installing security cameras can be quite challenging. This is where temporary CCTV systems are the perfect solution.

CCTV for Remote Sites

When the site does not have access to the internet it may seem to be an impossible task to arrange a reliable feed and recording facility. This is not the case anymore, using the latest technology any location can be made suitable immediately. Where a site does not have any electrical infrastructure, that again is not an issue. These units are self-powered and ideal for a temporary solution or even a longer term one. Temporary CCTV is used all over Ireland in locations that are remote or difficult to access.

The set-up is remarkably efficient and all the equipment that is needed is put in place within a matter of hours. Cameras for monitoring, transmission protocol and a recording facility to keep records are all configured. Plus, there is also the option for audio speakers which allows a local message to be recorded in order to deter unsociable behaviour near the unit.

Access Control and Security Solutions for Banks & Credit Unions

Fri, 22 Feb 2019 11:56:59 GMT

While much of the day to day transactions in banking are completed online, now more than ever the physical security of a bank or credit union is paramount. Any building that stores and handles cash will be a likely target to the criminal element.

CCTV Surveillance

CCTV has been around for some time but the technology in this sector has changed dramatically in recent years. It is very important that the system used externally and internally is fit for purpose and designed for that particular situation. It is not all about intrusion detection. Having integrated systems that cover all areas and connect live feed to recorded footage proves most effective when it comes to video recording of both staff and customers. Live monitoring enables action to be taken immediately should the need arise.

Access Control

The bank or credit union building itself will be vulnerable to many types of attacks so a robust access control system is a critical element of an overall security plan. The main objective will be to restrict access to certain sensitive areas of the building. The first point of entry may require a door interlock solution which can prove to be highly effective. An access control solution needs to be secure at restricting access for un-authorised visitors, however, it must be easy to use and access for staff and customers to be really effective.

Door entry systems that check the status of entry and exit points will provide an audit of movement whenever it is required. Biometric entry is becoming the technology of choice in this area with a move away from keypads with codes for staff. This also eliminates the need to cancel cards or the worry associated with lots fobs etc. Whatever system is decided on, it requires a solution that is easy to set up with the minimal amount of disturbance of staff and the day to day running of the branch. It should be simple for the staff to use, reliable and dependable.

Security solutions come into their own with the ability to monitor and control different branches from head office or a central location. This means that the fully integrated systems work together to provide a complete solution. Cameras and access control working hand in hand.

Is Employee Theft a Problem?

Sun, 20 Jan 2019 11:54:37 GMT

A company’s greatest asset is often their staff. However, it can be those same people that can do the most damage to a business. Employee theft has always been a concern especially as a business grows but there are ways to protect yourself against it.

Handling Cash

When a business handles cash there will be the temptation for some staff to help themselves. This can be a planned and regular occurrence or sometimes it will be the opportunist in a moment of weakness.

Installing CCTV to guard against till fraud will be the first step. Megapixel cameras are high resolution cameras that will pick up all activity and can be positioned to guard against till fraud. Stealing cash from a till is one thing but giving your stock for free to their friends is also a crime. Cameras now are powerful enough to catch incorrect pricing or non-scanning of stock. An IP camera will receive data and send the image via the internet, these are commonly used for surveillance as footage can be viewed by the manager on a smartphone if they are away from the premises.

Covert CCTV

Misuse of the employer’s assets without permission is also a form of theft and can be hard to monitor without shop CCTV systems. Covert CCTV is a necessary step in certain circumstances and can be used not only to protect stock and cash but is also used to monitor employee behaviour. It needs to be handled by an expert to ensure protocols are followed.

The value in having this footage for supporting evidence in court is priceless. When it comes to employees either falsely claiming for injuries that they say happen on site, or being guilty of unsociable, bullying behaviour against other staff members. Having the proof to prosecute staff that are stealing or acting in an irresponsible and dangerous way will protect you.

To find out how your business is vulnerable you will need an expert to survey your premises. Then they will take on board your concerns and advise you on what you need. TEC Security are experts in retail CCTV systems and covert CCTV. Reduce your exposure to risk and eliminate problems you have already identified by speaking to us today.

Security Systems for an Embassy

Sat, 15 Dec 2018 11:50:13 GMT

An embassy would be amongst the list of buildings that would require a high level security system. While all buildings would be at risk of burglary or vandalism an embassy would have another layer of threat which needs to be addressed.

As any embassy is the office that represents their government while abroad, it could be seen as a target in certain circumstances. For this high level security requirement project, TEC Security were happy to take on the project of completing a security system installation at the embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Dublin City recently.

Protection

The security solution for embassies protects not only the site and the staff but needs to be rigorous to take into account visiting dignitary and their safety. Staff need to be able to monitor the perimeter of the building allowing them to identify anybody trying to gain entry illegally. In the unlikely event of protests, staff need to be able to monitor the entrance area to gauge any immediate threats.

Safe Working Environment

In any embassy, systems must monitor and record those entering and exiting 24 hours a day every day of the year. This monitoring is key to providing a safe working environment. As is typical for TEC Security, we provided a state of the art system designed specifically for our client. We listened to their needs and concerns, used our expert opinion to suggest the best technical option. Once agreed, we installed it with as little disruption as possible. TEC staff are all security experts with many years’ experience and we are licensed by the Private Security Authority.

Recommendation

Once the project was completed we were delighted to receive a letter of thanks from Costas A Papademas, the Ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus.

"I would like to express our warmest thanks and gratitude on behalf of the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus for the supply and installation of a camera and monitors for the security supervision system at the offices of our Mission. In this regard I have to stress the professionalism and consistency shown during the works carried out. Therefore, the services of your company are highly recommended."

As with all our security installations project, we pride ourselves on the quality of our work and customer service so a recognition such as this is very welcome. TEC Security offer security systems for residential, community and commercial endeavours. For more information on our services please contact us.

5 Good Reasons for a Business to Install CCTV

Security systems are almost essential in this day and age for any business owner, both long established and startups. The benefits of a CCTV security system are numerous, and can be used for more than simply preventing theft.

Keeping a CCTV camera in your place of business offers both security and peace of mind.

CCTV cameras are useful for more than just preventing theft. They are also incredibly useful for business owners to evaluate the performance of their employees when they are unable to be at their business. You’ll be able to go back and watch and make sure that your employees are making the best use of their time, as well as successfully helping your business runs smoothly.

3. Improve Day to Day Operations

Business owners can use their security CCTV to get a good idea of how their business runs in day to day operations while they’re not on site. Getting a better idea of how the business is being run in your absence will give you greater control on how to change things to make improvements.

4. Legality

Business owners will always have to be aware of legal issues, such as on the job accidents or customer claims.

How ANPR Adds Another Layer of Security

Wed, 25 Jul 2018 11:43:35 GMT

ANPR, or automatic number plate recognition is software that allows you to keep tabs on the licence plates of vehicles that are coming and going from your place of business. It can simplify your security, keep better track of those visiting your private property and increases your security.

HOW ANPR Works

Automatic number plate recognition works by using optical character recognition to recognise licence plates. This is the very same technology used by police to run licence plates and registrations. In addition to saving the licence plate information the camera captures, automatic number plate recognition also saves the images it captures, giving you the potential of discovering the identity of the driver. Recently it was used to track criminals driving from Dublin to commit burglaries in rural parts of Ireland.

Why Companies Should Use It

There are many reasons why companies should invest in this software to better secure their private property. For starters, this system can help you better secure your private property. It can help you know exactly who has been on your property and when. Beyond that, this amazing system can recognise saved plates and open your gate automatically for regular users like deliveries and employees, thus simplifying your security system. It will also help you accurately record all the vehicles that make their way onto your property making it a more reliable security system.

Better Technology Now Than Previously

If you research automatic number plate recognition, you may find a lot of reports of poor imaging software or too blurry images to read or be detected, but most of these are from ten to twelve years ago. The imaging software in these cameras has improved tenfold since then. Now they are more accurate, more reliable and offer more features as well as larger memories.

Automatic number plate recognition, or ANPR is a great software that allows you to be more confident in the safety of your business and keep better track of all those that visit your property. It can also simplify your security by automatically opening your gate for recognised employees or delivery drivers and allowing your security guards to focus on matters of actual security.

TEC Security are experts in CCTV and ANPR installations. For advice on how this technology can help increase the security of your business please get in touch with us today.

CCTV for Retail Shops

Tue, 19 Jun 2018 11:30:54 GMT

As an owner of a retail shop you will be working long hard hours to manage your business. Your profits are the result of your continued effort so you want to ensure you safeguard your business to the best of your ability. With shoplifting, staff pilfering and burglaries a threat to all small business it would be wise to take every security precaution to prevent the upset this loss can create.

Safe Guard Your Business

If you have not already considered CCTV as part of your overall security plan, then now could be the time. Even if you already have a system installed, it is still fit for purpose or due a replacement? You will already have an alarm and strong locks on your premises so the installation of CCTV cameras will be a great addition to your security plan.

Advantages of CCTV

The most obvious advantage of having a CCTV security system installed in your shop will be as a deterrent. When the cameras are visible a would be petty thief may think twice before helping themselves to some of your stock without paying.

In the small hours of the morning when most burglaries of commercial premises occur the presence of cameras and the risk of being identified can encourage criminals to move on to an easier target.

During opening hours, the particular location of a shop can lead to people using it as a place to hang out. The subsequent vandalism and anti-social behaviour can turn away genuine shoppers and create an issue. Knowing they are being watched and recorded may be enough to move these groups on.

Your staff can be your greatest asset so protecting lone staff particularly at night by monitoring outside areas will be appreciated. On the flip side, the small minority of dishonest staff are sometimes caught out by the installation of covert cameras. Even the presence of a visible camera trained to monitor a till may help resist temptation.

Choosing a System

The pricing on CCTV cameras has been reducing as they become more popular but it really is a case of you get what you pay for. The quality of the image will be the most important part as grainy images will be no good for identification purposes.

By using a PSA registered security company, they will design the system so you are adequately covered. Their expertise will ensure you have correct number of cameras and the right type for your situation. Positioning is key to cover all the right angles and areas so expert advice will advise on this and offer maintenance of the system to ensure it continues to work efficiently.

Remote Viewing

Being able to monitor the images remotely is a great benefit, watching from your smartphone while away from the shop. Recording deliveries and activities inside and around the shop will be helpful. The ability to record and store footage will be beneficial should this footage be needed in supporting prosecutions.

TEC Security have been installing CCTV and security systems in retail shops throughout Ireland for over 20 years. Our expert team can advise you on the system you need and will install it for you and maintain it in the most professional way.

New Government Grant for Rural Communities in the Fight Against Crime

Wed, 02 May 2018 10:16:17 GMT

The minister for Justice has announced a grant-aid scheme to help rural communities set up CCTV systems in their locality to help the fight against crime. Community groups can apply for sums up to €40,000 towards the cost of a CCTV security system. If approved 60% of the cost of a CCTV system will be provided with half of the money being awarded up front and the remainder being paid when the system is fully functioning. The grant will be available for 3 years and funding of €1 million will be available each year.

Our Experience Helping You

TEC Security has been installing community based CCTV security systems for many years and in each case there has been a reduction in crime, anti-social behaviour and burglaries.

A recent article in the Irish Times shows how successful this scheme could be, here is an excerpt:

Irish Rural Link chief executive Séamus Boland said CCTV “adds to the modern-day policing of crime”. “It’s another tool that’s there,” he said. “It brings us beyond the debate in relation to rural Garda stations. It was always too simplistic to talk about opening and closing stations. This is a much more community-based approach.”

Three years ago in Dunmore, Co Laois, 20 cameras were placed at seven locations on every road in and out of the area. Dunmore Community Alert secretary Barry Foley said the cameras have “pushed crime right out”. “At our last agm, our local sergeant came in to thank us because although some crimes had been committed outside our area, the evidence from the camera placed the perpetrators in the vicinity,” he said. “We have little or nothing going on in our area because of the CCTV. It’s been a huge success. It’s good for everyone.”

Talk to An Expert

If you are involved with a community group that is interested in finding out more about what systems could be installed in your area then you can speak with us. We are an award winning Irish company that have been in the security business for over 20 years.

More and more Irish pubs and nightclubs are installing CCTV systems and really seeing the benefits of this investment. TEC Security are leading the way in installing tailor made systems for pubs all over the country.

CCTV Can Offer Both Protection & Peace of Mind

Obvious places like outside the pub premises and smoking areas will be covered but there are options for cameras monitoring tills, storerooms and delivery areas. We offer a site survey so we can access your requirements.

We Will Advise

What CCTV cameras are best for each situation
How many cameras are needed both indoors and outdoors
Where the cameras should be positioned to cover vital areas
The best mounting locations to ensure clear unobstructed views
Recording requirements, digital recorders and remote monitoring capabilities

Upgrading or New Installations

While our most popular option is a brand new installation project we can also look at upgrading existing CCTV systems or even maintaining what you have in place already.

With the remote monitoring capability, you can watch what is happening when you are away from the premises also with the software we supply. There are 24/7 monitoring capabilities because the criminal can strike at any time.

The images captured are of the highest quality both during the day and night-time which is important if they are being used as evidence at a later date.
