In this day and age, for many business owners, security solutions are considered essential and they are something that are heavily relied upon to keep commercial premises protected. However, whilst people are proactive when it comes to getting effective security systems installed, they are often forgotten about after installation and many will simply assume that they will continue to work efficiently for many years to come.
It goes without saying really that this definitely isn’t the case and without regular servicing and preventative maintenance work, it is likely that your security solutions will end up failing on you, usually when you need them most. No matter what security systems you have in place at your business premises, whether this is a simple automatic gate or a comprehensive intruder alarm system, you should never overlook routine service and maintenance, and here’s why;
Ensures you’re able to rely on your security solutions
This is undeniably the biggest benefit of annual servicing for your security systems and, simply put, it will prevent them from being unreliable. It is fair to say that an unreliable security system isn’t any better than not having a security system, so you will be leaving your business premises vulnerable if you don’t complete a routine service annually.
Prevents extensive repairs being required
When you complete preventative maintenance on a regular basis, it is highly likely that you will be able to avoid costly and time-consuming repairs being required if your systems were to break down. This maintenance will help ensure both the operational performance and safety of your systems, enabling them to work exactly as required at all times. Generally speaking, preventive maintenance is incredibly cost-effective in this regard.
Reduces the likelihood of costly replacements
Over time, due to general wear and tear, it is likely that your electric gate system or CCTV system will need to be replaced. However, regular maintenance and frequent repairs can help to increase the lifespan of these systems. When maintaining your security solutions, they will be kept as efficient and stable as possible, reducing the likelihood of requiring early replacements.
Ensures your systems are fully compliant
This can be incredibly easy to overlook, but it is arguably one of the most important reasons to ensure that you use routine maintenance services. Not only will maintenance help you to be compliant with health and safety standards, but it also ensures that you’re compliant with your insurance policy too. You can prevent any insurance claim from falling through due to lack of maintenance upon inspection.
Reduces business downtime
Generally speaking, security system failures can cause frustrating downtime for your business and this can sometimes be detrimental. When you complete regular servicing and preventative maintenance work, you can help to prevent the loss of productive hours and ensure that you’re able to remain focussed on your business at all times. It will also likely help to reduce required downtime when you choose to upgrade your security solutions too.
Provides complete peace of mind
Security system breakdowns can be incredibly stressful and, as mentioned above, they tend to happen at the most inconvenient times. Not only will these breakdowns cause you to worry about the cost of repairs and replacements, but you will also have the additional worry of the potential security breaches your systems were designed to prevent. However, if you know your systems are well-maintained, you can rest assured with complete peace of mind.
Searching for a professional service and maintenance company
Ultimately, there really is no denying that when you have security solutions installed at your commercial premises, it is incredibly important to ensure that you’re carrying out routine service and maintenance. Whilst this can seem like an additional expense and be easy to ignore, it is fair to say that you will always thank yourself in the long run for reaching out to a professional in this regard and staying on top of things.
When searching for an expert company that can assist you with both servicing and maintaining your security solutions, be sure to contact us here at EDS today. Whether you need a fast and effective response to an emergency situation or you simply require routine gate maintenance, we are the best people to reach out to. We pride ourselves on providing the very best after-sales support and customer service, and we even offer 24/7 service and repairs throughout the UK. So, don’t hesitate to contact us today if you require our assistance.
There is no denying that access control systems play a vital role in the security of several commercial premises up and down the UK and they are a tried and tested method for restricting access. Generally speaking, nowadays the term ‘access control’ is used when referring to any electronic method of controlling who can gain entry to a specific point, and you have many different solutions to choose from in this regard.
One of the most commonly sought after types of access control is proximity access control and these systems can be installed to doors, turnstiles, barriers and gates. To gain entry through a point secured with this type of system, you will need some form of proximity card and these are usually key fobs or ID cards. When these are presented, they will either release the locking mechanism for authorised people or deny access for unauthorised people.
If you’re wondering what makes proximity access control systems, in particular, those which are controlled by ID cards, so popular, keep reading today.
Provide you with much more control
Unlike the other options available, when you opt for an ID card access control system, you will have increased control over who can gain entry to secure points. Since every ID card is created specifically for the owner to use, you can control who can enter restricted areas and at what times, rather than having to generalise this for groups of people.
When providing employees with ID cards, you can give each person access rights to certain areas and even for specific times of day too. You will never have to worry about who is where in your building, as you will have complete control over this.
Enable you to track who passes through a secure point
ID cards are one of the only access control solutions that enable you to know exactly who has entered through a secure point. Unlike keypad access control or even key fob access control, because ID cards are allocated to individual members of staff, you will be able to find out which smart card was used to pass through a secure point and track this back to the owner.
It goes without saying that having the ability to do this can be beneficial for several reasons. For example, should an incident ever occur, you will be able to track who was in a particular area at the time and get to the bottom of things much quicker.
Double up as personnel identification cards
Not only are ID card access control systems able to ensure that only authorised people are moving through specific areas of your property, but they can also provide an added layer of visual security too. More often than not, ID cards will be personalised with an image and the name of the owner, and they are frequently worn around the neck on a lanyard.
Should your premises be high-security and you have security guards at your entrance or CCTV systems throughout the building, requiring everyone on site to clearly display their personnel identification can help to ensure that no one unauthorised slips through your security systems.
Easy to activate and deactivate when required
When new employees start working on-site and you need to provide them with their own smart card, it is fairly inexpensive and incredibly straightforward to set them up on your access control system. They will be able to move around authorised areas in no time and you won’t have to worry about them forgetting pin codes and getting locked in or out of restricted areas.
You can trust that your ID card access control system will still be secure if a card is lost or stolen too. Thankfully, you can deactivate a specific employee’s card, meaning that it will no longer be able to gain access and it getting into unauthorised hands won’t cause problems.
Installing an ID card access control system
All in all, it is easy to see why so many choose to install a proximity access control system and it is fair to say that using ID cards as your access control cards is incredibly beneficial too. You can guarantee that this is a brilliant option to consider when using access control throughout your property. If you’re interested in installing an ID card access control system at your commercial premises, please don’t hesitate to contact us here at The EA Group.
Since being established back in 1985, we have been assisting people with both simple residential access control solutions and complex commercial access control systems, so no matter what your needs may be, we will be able to help. You can rely on us to help you increase the security and protect your property, and our experienced team will gladly work with you to create a bespoke system which will be planned and installed correctly, on-time and on budget.
It goes without saying that when you own a business, more often than not, a simple lock on your front door isn’t enough to provide your commercial property with the protection it requires. For this reason, many business owners will invest in additional security systems to ensure that both their property and the equipment within are kept safe, even outside of business hours when there is no one on the premises.
Whilst there are a number of different commercial security systems to choose from, undeniably one of the most popular is a CCTV system and for many business owners, this will be their first choice. When choosing to install a business CCTV camera system, you will have a number of different things to consider, but arguably the most important is where you’re going to install the surveillance cameras. If you’re unsure what would be best in this regard, below we have put together a list of highly recommended locations.
The entrance to your car park
It can be easy to overlook, but if you have a car park or even land around your business property, then it is beneficial to place surveillance cameras at the entrance to your premises. This will help you to keep an eye on who is entering and exiting your site, allowing you to flag any unauthorised vehicles and visitors.
Usually, it is worthwhile having your business CCTV system installed throughout your car park too, if you have one. This can provide employees and visitors with peace of mind that there will be a camera watching over their vehicle whilst it is parked here. Often, simply having CCTV cameras will help to prevent things such as theft and vandalism as well.
The exterior doors at your property
Even if you have access control systems on the exterior doors of your property, it is still worthwhile installing CCTV cameras looking over the entrance and exit doors too. These cameras will help you to see exactly who is entering and exiting your property, enabling you to keep track of who is in the building.
It is beneficial to have both indoor and outdoor cameras installed at your exterior doors so that you’re able to get a clear view of people’s faces, which is undeniably beneficial if you ever need to identify people. Again, simply having a business CCTV camera system, will help to prevent unauthorised people even attempting to gain entry to your property.
The main communal areas
Whilst many assume that their security cameras are simply there to catch illegal activity and intruders, it is likely that they will be much more useful than this. Having surveillance cameras installed, especially in main communal areas such as receptions, allows you to keep an eye on your employees and the daily running of your business as well.
Of course, in high foot traffic areas like a reception, it can be difficult to keep track of every single person, but a CCTV system will allow you to have an extra pair of eyes on the space. Monitoring these surveillance cameras throughout the day is just as important as having them installed to protect your property outside of business hours.
The interior doors of high-security rooms
Many businesses have specific areas or rooms in their property that contain important documentation or expensive equipment/products and it is important to ensure that these are watched over by surveillance cameras. Even if you have other security systems in place on the doors of these rooms, a business CCTV camera system can provide another layer of protection.
When you have cameras in high-security areas, not only will they enable you to identify any unauthorised people attempting to gain access, but they also allow you to keep track of authorised employees entering and exiting these areas too. This can be beneficial if there is ever an issue with the contents of this room and it will help you get to the bottom of things.
Installing a business CCTV camera system
All in all, whilst depending on the layout of your business property and the industry that you work in, the recommended locations for your CCTV cameras may differ, generally speaking, the locations above work well at the vast majority of properties. Of course, it is always worthwhile sitting down with a specialist CCTV company to figure out the precise location of your surveillance cameras, this way you can ensure that nowhere important is overlooked.
When wanting to install a business CCTV camera system, be sure to contact us here at The EA Group. We have been assisting business owners with the bespoke design and installation of complex commercial CCTV systems for decades now, so you can trust that we can help you to protect your business. No matter what your individual needs may be for your business CCTV camera system our experienced team of engineers will work with you to create the perfect solution. We look forward to assisting you further with your business’ security.
There are a number of different commercial properties across multiple different industry sectors which are classed as ‘high-security’ and therefore require a number of additional security solutions to keep them protected. From banks and jewellery stores to museums and laboratories, it is undeniably important for these locations to have impressive security solutions and without them, they are at a higher risk of common security threats.
Thankfully, nowadays there are a number of brilliant versatile security solutions that can be used across all industries and in numerous different locations to provide properties with the additional protection that they so desperately require. Of course, with lots of different effective options available to choose from, it can be difficult to know which will be most beneficial in high-security locations. So, to help anyone who is currently deciding which security solutions they should invest in, below is a list of must-haves for your property.
Commercial CCTV systems
Many will agree that a CCTV surveillance system is one of the most beneficial security solutions that you can invest in, whether you’re a small corner shop with minimal threats or a large electrical store that is a common target for criminal activity. For many, their CCTV cameras play a key role in monitoring security both inside and around their property.
Of course, a comprehensive commercial CCTV system will enable you to see all areas of your high-security location at all times of day, so you can ensure that nothing goes unnoticed. It isn’t uncommon for CCTV cameras to be a visual deterrent for criminals too and simply having a full surveillance system installed can prevent them from even attempting to gain access and conduct illegal activities on your premises. So, this simple security system is incredibly effective.
Car park barrier entry systems
Whilst it can be easy to overlook, protecting the perimeter of your high-security location is just as essential as protecting the building itself and, for this reason, car park barrier systems are an undeniably beneficial security solution. These automatic barrier systems will help to prevent any unauthorised vehicles from even being able to get onto your premises.
It isn’t uncommon for car park barrier entry systems to be paired with automatic number plate recognition systems to enhance security further and, together, they can make a dramatic difference to the security of your perimeter and, in turn, your property. Another system that is worthwhile considering if you have a car park is an automatic security bollard system and, similarly to a barrier, this system can prevent the access of any authorised vehicles.
Door access control systems
Another must-have security solution for any high-security location is an access control system. As the name suggests, these systems are specifically designed to control the access to your premises and they are incredibly effective in doing so. Arguably, access control solutions are one of the most versatile options available to protect your premises too.
Most commonly, access control systems are fitted to single and double doors, but they can also be used on turnstiles, barriers and gates too. So, not only can they be used inside your property, but they can benefit the surrounding exterior areas too. When you install fully managed access control systems at your high-security location, you will always be in complete control over who is able to move freely around different areas, which is undoubtedly essential.
Installing security solutions at your premises
It is fair to say that in order to increase the security of your premises to the high level required, you will likely need multiple different security systems installed and, thankfully, it is easy to integrate a number of these so that they work well alongside one another. Ultimately, any of the security solutions mentioned above will work brilliantly at a high-security location, so they are all worthwhile considering when wanting to upgrade your current security.
Should you wish to speak to an experienced company about increasing the level of security at your premises, please don’t hesitate to contact us here at The EA Group. We pride ourselves on combining advanced security integration and automation technology with the reliability of service and quality of standards to provide our clients with the exemplary security systems that they require. No matter what type of security you’re interested in installing or what your individual requirements may be, you can trust that you will be in the best hands with our expert team.
More often than not, when wanting to install new revolving doors at the entrance to a commercial property, many will assume that they only have two options available; manual revolving doors and automatic revolving doors. However, this isn’t the case and there is another option that is always worthwhile considering; power assisted revolving doors.
As the name suggests, these doors are designed to assist the user but they aren’t fully automatic. So, similarly to a manual door, users will need to push the door to start it moving, however, once the door senses manual operation, the power assist gently takes over and it will power the door to reach its self-parking position where it will stop and be ready for the next user. It really is considered to be a happy medium between manual and automatic doors.
If you’re currently contemplating which type of revolving doors you should install at your commercial property, below is a list of benefits to opting for power assisted doors.
Incredibly energy-efficient
Revolving doors are known for being more energy-efficient than other automatic door options available, such as sliding doors, because they make it much easier to maintain the desired temperature inside a building, but power assisted doors are even more energy-efficient. Due to the fact that they aren’t fully automatic and they only require a minimal amount of electrical power to self-park, they use much less energy than fully automatic revolving doors.
More affordable than automatic doors
Not only will power assisted revolving doors help you to save on your energy bills and have reduced running costs when compared to automatic doors, but they also have a more affordable up-front cost too. Power assisted doors sit in between the standard manual and fully automatic revolving door price bracket and their costs make them a very attractive choice. Once people know the savings they can make, they tend to choose these doors over fully automatic doors.
Effective in smoothing people flow
Power assisted revolving doors are just as capable as any other type of revolving door in smoothing the flow of people in and out of a building. Of course, only so many people can use a revolving door at once and power assisted door mechanisms are usually fitted with a speed limiter too. So, you can trust that these doors will always rotate as a comfortable pace and they can’t be pushed at excessive speed, which also makes them an incredibly safe option too.
Undeniably aesthetically pleasing
Many favour revolving doors over the other entrance solutions available to them because they are aesthetically pleasing and thankfully, opting for power assisted doors won’t hinder their appearance. Power assist drive units can be configurable for both frameless and framed revolving doors, three or four-wing configurations and the doors can be brushed or polished stainless steel or any RAL colour. So, they can perfectly complement your building’s aesthetics.
Straightforward and virtually effortless to use
Power assisted revolving doors are intuitive for users and they won’t cause any confusion when people are wanting to enter or exit your building. Their drive mechanism also ensures that very minimal physical exertion is required to manually rotate the door from its stationary parked position, meaning that they will be virtually effortless for the vast majority of users. Due to the fact that they self park ready for the next user, they are always easy to get into as well.
Installing power assisted doors at your commercial property
All in all, whilst there are advantages to both manual and automatic doors too, it is fair to say that the many benefits associated with power assisted doors makes them a main contender for most revolving door projects. It is highly likely that a power assisted revolving door will be able to meet all of your requirements and as mentioned above, they will be the most cost-effective and energy-effective solution available to you.
When searching for a company who can assist you with manual, automatic and power assisted doors, be sure to contact us here at the EA Group. Our knowledgeable team will gladly help you to decide between all three of these options and no matter which you end up choosing, we can design and build the doors you require to your building’s dimensions. With many years of experience behind us, you can trust us to ensure that the revolving doors installed are perfectly suited to your building and your needs.
There are a number of benefits to installing some form of access control system throughout an organisation and it is guaranteed to instantly improve your level of security. Nowadays, there are so many different types of access control systems to choose from too and it is easy to find the perfect solution for your business’ individual needs.
Arguably, one of the most important decisions to make in relation to a business access control system is the entry options you’re going to use. From proximity access control systems that require an identification card or key fob to biometric reader access control systems that use fingerprints and facial recognition, there are a number of different options to choose from.
So, to help any business owners ensure that they install the most suitable entry option for their business access control system, below are some essential things to think about.
Where the access control system is being installed
More often than not, the location of your access control system will influence the entry option you choose. For example, number plate recognition systems will only work for car park access control and usually, intercom door entry systems are only used at the entrance to a property. So, if your business access control system is going to be used throughout your whole building, you may want to consider an entry solution that will be suitable for all controlled areas.
How big your whole workforce is
You should always think about the number of people who work for your business, whether this is on a full time, part-time or flexible basis. Depending on the entry option you choose, all employees may need to be given an ID card/key fob or be informed of pin codes, so you should consider which is likely to be more suitable for the size of your workforce. Remember to take into account the likelihood of things getting lost or forgotten too and how this will impact you.
The likelihood of people needing to access different areas
Whether you have one site or multiple sites that will be linked to one business access control system, it is always important to bear in mind how many employees will require access to multiple restricted areas. Say, for example, you were to install keypad pin code entry systems and have different codes on every door, this isn’t going to be convenient for those who require access to a number of areas and a different entry option may be more suitable.
Your budget for your security solutions
As you may expect, some of the entry options are more expensive than others, so it is always important to think about what your budget is. When considering your budget, you shouldn’t just look at upfront costs, it’s essential to think about ongoing costs too. For example, a biometric system is likely to be the most expensive upfront and a proximity system one of the cheapest, but whenever you need new key fobs for your proximity system, this will be an additional cost.
Whether you require your system to have reporting capabilities
It is possible for business access control systems to provide reports about the activity in your workplace. For example, time and attendance access control systems can inform you when members of staff arrive and leave, and some systems can inform you about door activity history and invalid access attempts too. However, only entry solutions such as ID cards will be suitable if you want these types of reports, so think about whether they’re something you’re interested in.
Installing a business access control system
It is fair to say that there really isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ solution to business access control systems and when choosing an entry option, alongside personal preference, a number of different factors will influence the decision that you make. Hopefully, by taking the time to carefully think about everything mentioned above, you will find it easier to decide which entry option will be best for your business and your employees.
When wanting to install an access control system at your business premises, be sure to contact our team here at the EA Group. We are incredibly proud of our reputation as an established quality brand that specialises in the integration of security systems and entrance solutions, and we offer an incredibly wide range of products and services. No matter what your individual needs may be in relation to your business access control system, you can guarantee that we will be able to meet them.
The vast majority of big commercial properties, from offices to leisure centres, will use some form of access control security system at their entrance. There are a number of benefits to these systems and they are incredibly effective in slowing the flow of foot traffic and preventing unauthorised access in any property. Nowadays, with a vast range of different security solutions to choose from, it is easy to find something that is perfect for each and every building too.
One of the most commonly sought after options available in this regard is speed gates and they are a brilliant solution to install. They are more aesthetically pleasing than traditional turnstiles, for example, and they are also much quicker in operation too. If you’re interested in installing speed gates at your property, you now have a selection of different designs to choose from and to help you do so, below is some more information about them.
Classic speed gate
This is what most people picture when they think of a speed gate and they feature glass or plastic panels that retract into the turnstile body upon an authorised signal, you may commonly hear these referred to as speed lanes too. These gates can also be programmed to operate in reverse, so they only extend the panels out to block the lane when required.
These classic speed gates are only waist height and they are fairly compact in design. On average, they can allow up to 30 authorised people to enter in a minute and they provide a high traffic flow capacity without risking the safety of the users. With wide speed gates available too, if you need a DDA compliant solution, they are a brilliant option.
Swing speed gate
As the name suggests, swing speed gates operate on the swing open principle and they feature two panels that meet in the centre when they are closed. Whilst they are commonly seen with waist height panels, they can also feature high glass panels which can be up to 1800 mm from the floor level, making them perfect when a higher degree of security is required.
They are very modern in design and tend to feature glass side panels too, and they are also available in both wider lanes and slim profile designs as well. All of the swing speed gate options can be controlled in either manual modes or automatic modes, whereby an access control system is used.
Slide speed gate
Again, this speed gate is aptly named and two glass panels slide apart to allow entry to authorised visitors. This gate can be supplied up to 1540 mm high, so it will effectively reduce the risk of people hurdling over them. Due to this, they are another design that is commonly used in areas where a higher level of security is required.
Slide speed gates also feature a short opening and closing time, and this tends to be around just 0.8 seconds, which makes them perfect for any areas that also experience very high levels of foot traffic. Like all of the other speed gates above, they can be controlled manually or by an access control system too.
Wide swing gate
This type of speed gate is specifically designed as a simple access control barrier where wider accessibility is needed, whether this is disabled access and delivery routes. A swing gate is just as modern and sleek as any other type of speed gate, but it is much more simplistic and is simply one swinging glass gate.
They are available in width sizes from 500 mm to 900 mm and can be controlled in either manual or automatic mode. It isn’t uncommon for these swing gates to be used alongside one of the other options mentioned above.
Installing speed gates at your property
Hopefully, you will know a little bit more about the different types of speed gates available on the market nowadays. There is no denying that any of these designs will work brilliantly at the entrance to a commercial property, but you should now find it slightly easier to decide which will be most suitable for your individual property and also your needs. Ultimately, whichever you choose, you can guarantee that they will be effective in controlling the access to your property.
If you’d like to speak to an experienced professional about speed gates in more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact our team here at the EA Group today.

When you have a private car park at your business premises, it would be incredibly beneficial for you to install a barrier system. Not only will this instantly increase your security, but it also allows you to regulate and control the number of vehicles that are entering your premises. On top of this, it is fair to say that should you require assistance in managing the flow of traffic and parking, the correct barrier system can help you to do this as well.
Thankfully, there is a huge range of automatic barriers, which are also commonly referred to as; security barriers, traffic barriers or car park barriers, on the market now, so you will easily be able to find something that meets your needs. When deciding to have a barrier system installed, aside from choosing the barrier itself, one of the biggest decisions you will have to make is which manufacturer you purchase from. As you may expect, it is always beneficial to work with an experienced and reputable traffic barrier manufacturer, and here’s why;
All of your specific requirements will be met
When you turn to a trustworthy traffic barrier manufacturer, you can guarantee that they will work closely with you, and any of your agents, to establish all of your individual needs and aspirations for your automatic barrier systems. They will then ensure that the systems they recommend, and ultimately install, are able to meet all of your requirements.
Overcome any potential problems
With many years in the industry behind them, traffic barrier manufacturers will be able to overcome issues that others were unable to. Whether this is in relation to the required placement of the barrier system or how the barriers need to be controlled, you can trust that they will be able to provide you with suitable alternative solutions.
Supply complex barrier systems
Unlike other manufacturers and suppliers, those with years of experience can provide clients with comprehensive barrier systems. Whilst they’re able to offer single entry/exit automatic barriers, they can also create huge complex multiple site integrated revenue systems. Their engineers will have the skills and knowledge required to do so.
Create bespoke integrated solutions
If you’re struggling to find a standard barrier system that is suitable for your premises, expert traffic barrier manufacturers will be able to create bespoke solutions for you too. When doing so, should you wish to integrate your barrier with other security systems or access control systems then they will be able to assist you with this as well and develop the perfect all-inclusive solution.
Your barrier will be in line with your budget
Many traffic barrier manufacturers supply all types of barriers for many different uses and you can trust that they will be able to provide you with a solution that is affordable. Even if you opt for a budget-friendly system, you can trust that it will still be of the highest quality and just because the barrier is cheaper, doesn’t mean that it won’t be as durable.
Provide additional barrier system services
It is likely that when you turn to a professional traffic barrier manufacturer to assist you with the installation of your barrier system, they will also be able to provide you with a number of additional services that will be helpful over time. Many offer maintenance and repair services, and you can rely on them to ensure that your barriers are safe, reliable and problem-free.
Finding a local expert traffic barrier manufacturer
All in all, there really is no denying that when you’re wanting to have barrier systems installed in your company car park, it is always worthwhile turning to an experienced traffic barrier manufacturer.

There is no denying that CCTV systems are incredibly effective when wanting to protect both domestic and commercial premises. They have been the first choice for homeowners and business owners alike for many years now and no matter what your security needs may be, it is highly likely that a CCTV security system is able to meet them. Whilst for residential properties, it can be fairly easy to find the perfect CCTV camera systems, when it comes to finding business CCTV systems, it isn’t always as easy.
Nowadays, there is such a vast range of different security cameras and systems on the market and when wanting to protect your business, it goes without saying that you will need to ensure that you’re opting for the most suitable solution for your individual needs. To help any business owners who are interested in having a commercial CCTV system installed, we have put together a list of things to think about which should, in turn, help you to choose the best possible surveillance system for your premises.
The type of cameras you want
You may have noticed that there is such a vast range of different types of cameras available, such as; HD CCTV cameras, colour cameras, black and white cameras, day and night cameras, infrared cameras and many more. The first thing to think about is the type of cameras you’re interested in, so ensure you’re looking into all available options.
If the cameras will be inside or outside
Typically, security cameras play a key role in monitoring security both inside and around buildings, yet it is your decision whether you’d like cameras inside or outside, or both. Think about your business and whether it would be beneficial for you to have a 24/7 view of both the interior and exterior of your business premises.
Which areas you want to monitor
Ensure you’re thinking about the specific areas you’re wanting to monitor too. Not only do you need to know exactly where you require a view of for camera placement, but it will also help you to figure out how many cameras you’re going to need in your business CCTV system. You may find that some large areas require multiple cameras, so bear this in mind too.
Whether you’re wanting them to be discreet
The surveillance cameras available vary in design and you will find that some are much more discreet than others. Think about whether you’re wanting the cameras to blend in perfectly with the surrounding environment or if you want them to act as a visual deterrent as well. You may find that you want different things depending on the placement of the camera.
If you’re interested in having audio
Often, business CCTV systems simply provide a visual live stream, however, they can be created so that they provide audio too. Think about whether you’d be interested in being able to hear those who are in a specific distance from the camera. You may also want to consider whether you’d like to be able to speak to people via the cameras as well.
Whether you’re going to integrate the system
It isn’t uncommon for businesses to integrate their CCTV systems with other security systems that they have at their premises. So, if you already have additional systems, consider whether you’d like CCTV installers to integrate them and, if you don’t, think about whether there are any other systems you’re interested in having to increase your organisation’s security.

Hopefully, by taking the time to think about everything mentioned above, you will find it easier to narrow down the market and choose the best CCTV camera system for your business premises.
