CCTV Security System

Remote Monitored CCTV System
Modern systems act as both an alarm and video feed. Your premises are watched over by motion activated cameras which are connected to a remote monitoring centre. That way, rather than paying someone to watch your premises twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year, you pay for the cameras to watch and when something happens, the monitoring centre is alerted and a human being can make a judgment as to whether any action needs to be taken. This saves time, saves money and eliminates the incidence of false alarms. This is important as the current policies of most police services' in the UK is that they will respond to call outs issued by automated systems. With this system, there is a human being who will determine if the police need to be contacted and make the call.
These motion activated and remote monitored CCTV systems are especially suited to large, exposed or remote sites. This allows constant monitoring without paying for constant attendance. A remote centre will only accept a contract to remotely monitor a CCTV system if it meets BS 8418.
