    Commercial CCTV: Safeguarding Your Business 24/7

    Your commercial CCTV system needs to reliably capture live footage for reactive playback, should you ever need it. But is that really enough in today's world? At Chris Lewis, our commercial CCTV installations go above and beyond traditional reactive monitoring. 

    Record and store unlimited footage with ease, and receive notifications if cameras go down, or are tampered with.

    You can use your CCTV as a video tripwire and start recording if there is motion detected in specific higher-risk areas.

    View high definition images from anywhere in the world, on desktop or mobile devices, and benefit from quick, in-depth archive searching.

    Artificial Intelligence can identify if a person is loitering or if a group of people is beginning to gather on your premises.

    Use facial recognition to get notifications when a person of interest is on your premises, whether this is a VIP or unauthorised individual.

    Automatically identify if cars are speeding or parked illegally and have alerts sent straight to your mobile device.

    Do more than just record and store video

    Our expertise lies in the customisation and integration opportunities our commercial CCTV installations create. Chris Lewis installers design surveillance systems that proactively work for you, exploring how integration can take your existing setup to the next level.

    Access Control + CCTV

    Integrate your CCTV system with your access control and use facial recognition or ANPR technology to grant/deny access to people and vehicles. You'll even be able to link access events with video footage to verify identity. 

    Intruder Alarms + CCTV

    When integrated with your intruder alarms, commercial CCTV cameras can act as motion sensors - highlighting if an unwanted guest is inside your premises. Whether out of hours or simply for a registered person of interest, record the trespasser and automatically alert security guards or the police.  

    Working in retail?

    Use CCTV integrated with your POS system to search for video footage by transaction or product. Monitor conversion rates and the flow of customers through your shop to identify hotspots where you may want to place special offers or high-ticket items. This is a tactic famously used by big brand supermarkets like Tesco!

    Got an HR headache?

    Easily identify and record if an individual regularly arrives late, fails to wear the correct uniform/safety equipment, takes money from the till, doesn't fulfil their duties, is rude/abusive to customers and staff, or acts unprofessionally. With this, if disciplinary action is required, you'll have video proof to support your actions.  

    Health & safety protection

    Was the puddle actually there? Did they spill the water that they eventually slipped on? Was there actually a health and safety hazard that caused the injury or was it a freak accident? These things happen. Commercial CCTV keeps you protected against fraudulent insurance claims if an incident does occur.

    Monitored systems

    Benefit from out-of-hours surveillance coverage by registered professionals with our CCTV monitoring service. Prices start from just £15 per camera!
