Office CCTV Installation in the West Midlands
We specialise in installing office CCTV throughout the West Midlands for companies of all sizes; giving you confidence that your office, staff and assets are all secured through a high quality, professionally engineered system.
Today's office is not the same as it used to be. Offices today tend to be open, communal areas, with a fluctuating number of people coming and going throughout the day, including staff, visitors, contractors, clients and more, so ensuring that the whole building is covered for visual surveillance and security is vital.
A well-designed office CCTV system installed in the West Midlands ensures not only the security of a company but is also crucial in creating a safer work environment and ensuring that your staff, HR and management is fully supported as well as the safety and security of any expensive equipment.
Why Offices in the West Midlands Need CCTV Systems
Offices in the West Midlands cover a vast array of building types, including small business units, shared workspaces, large corporate head offices, to multi-storey commercial properties. However regardless of size or type, all offices have a common set of operational and security issues.
Of paramount concern to any office manager, is the security of both staff and company assets. Within any office complex, it's not difficult to see that high value equipment such as laptops, servers, sensitive documents and client records make them a potential target for criminal activity.
The installation of a CCTV surveillance system helps to significantly alleviate many of these security concerns by providing clear vision over important areas such as the entry and exit points, reception areas, corridors, meeting rooms, or secure store areas.
It's important in any office to provide the right level of workplace accountability. Throughout the day in any typical office, it will be evident that a stream of members of staff, contractors and visitors entering and exiting. It is important that the movement is monitored correctly, that access is permitted where necessary and that company protocols are being followed correctly.
CCTV surveillance systems also assist in conflict resolution, whether it be an issue with security, an issue between members of staff, or an insurance issue recorded, the clear footage is crucial in allowing the management to make effective, informed decisions as quickly as possible.
Tailored Office CCTV Systems for Modern Workplaces
We recognise that every office is unique and what a small, serviced office in a business centre need would not meet the criteria for a larger head office building or even a multi-tenant office block.
Every office CCTV installation we perform in the West Midlands is custom designed to the individual office space and its specific needs.
Common areas for CCTV monitoring are reception desks, main entrances to the building, general areas, meeting rooms, hallways, stairwells and lifts, server rooms and areas that require restricted access.
The level of surveillance needed will depend on the use and function of each area. Reception areas will need to provide a clear view of visitors and deliveries entering and leaving whereas restricted and server rooms will need more enhanced security access controls.
The actual office design also must be considered. Modern office layouts tend to be very open and require that the CCTV is installed in a way which adds security but also does not make the working environment feel like it's being watched over.
The CCTV systems designed by us will be unobtrusive, professional and blend into the working environment.
Office CCTV Installation Process
We use a systematic installation process to make sure that every system is designed and installed with maximum efficiency and minimum disruption to your business.
- The first step of our system installation is to carry out a survey of the site anywhere within the West Midlands where we examine the layout of the office and discuss both security concerns and the daily function of the workplace.
- After an office security camera system is designed from our findings, it will be bespoke made to your needs considering suitable camera types and storage facilities.
- Once the design of the camera system has been agreed upon, we arrange the installation at a suitable time to cause minimum disruption to members of your workforce. Many office systems are installed after business hours or during a less busy time.
- After installation is complete, we will fully configure the system, test all blind spots and check all functions are in full working order, as well as setting up remote viewing for authorised individuals to check both live and recorded footage from any location.
- Lastly, we will give full instruction so your team can operate the system; viewing recordings and accessing basic functions.
Real Benefits of Office CCTV Installation
Professional installation of office CCTV by Unison Integrated Technology Ltd benefits offices over a long term and is not limited to merely security reasons.
The major advantage of having office CCTV is the enhanced security of your office. Every office contains significant assets which range from office machinery such as computers and technology items, documents, sensitive information or data of their clients, etc. CCTV can protect such valuable office assets by preventing unauthorised access into key areas of the office building.
Another benefit is staff safety and accountability in the workplace. In an environment where there is a mix of employees, contractors and visitors present in offices and other workplaces, the security system ensures adherence of workplace policies and logs all actions taken by each person.
From the point of view of managers, the camera is beneficial as an operational tool which monitors client access, flow of people throughout the building, etc, to help them secure areas from unauthorised access.
In cases of disputes or incidents that occur at offices, CCTV images can prove very useful, by serving as evidence that can clear away many problems which can help determine how a particular problem occurred. This will often be valuable for internal investigations and claims against your insurance policy.
Discreet CCTV Designed for Professional Office Environments
It is important that security and presentation are balanced in a commercial office space. Unlike a factory floor or a retail space where the function is more evident, offices are typically client facing, and a tidy, presentable space is a must. Security systems must be both effective and understated.
At Unison CCTV we ensure that all our cameras are installed professionally and discreetly. The systems are configured such that cameras cover all necessary angles without disrupting the overall look and feel of the office. For the most part employees and visitors will not notice the system after installation.
Modern Office CCTV System Features
A modern CCTV installation does so much more than just recording images. Many of the installs we carry out will utilise high definition or 4K cameras for very clear imagery covering all parts of the office that you need to monitor.
Access from a remote location, from any computer, tablet or smart phone, comes as standard, so you can watch footage (either live or from previous recordings) whenever and wherever you need to securely access the cameras.
We are also able to set motion detection alarms, so the office is covered both when closed for the evening, or even for the weekend! Your data can be held on site, or alternatively securely backed up into the cloud.
