CCTV strategies

Only a few years ago, specialist consultants in CCTV were a scarce resource and often associated with manufacturers or installers.  It is important to access informed, independent, unbiased security advice based on a professional threat assessment when considering the installation or renewal of CCTV systems.

In a survey conducted in Western Australia it was found almost half the CCTV installations were not compliant with the Australian Standards. It is also acknowledged most CCTV installations throughout the world do not produce evidentiary quality footage suitable for successful prosecutions.  As experienced investigators we have found that a properly planned CCTV system enhances post investigation outcomes.

Recent technological improvements, cost reductions, efficent data transfer and storage have meant CCTV is accessible for most small business enterprises.  However effective strategies are critical for it to be of genuine benefit. We can offer you independent advice & expertise regarding your CCTV system which will support your Security Management Plan.
