Choosing the Best CCTV Systems

CCTV tower

When you’re investing in a security system for your construction site, property or building project, you’ll want to know you’re getting the best service for your money. Construction sites and building properties are frequently the subject of target by vandals and thieves, and it’s been estimated this has cost the construction industry £800 million ever year; the cost of damage to equipment, let alone theft, is staggering. This isn’t to mention the costs that accompany lost work hours and damage to staff morale, or insurance premiums.

Prime Secure are security experts; we’ve been handling construction security for over 20 years and have extensive knowledge on what’s necessary on how to keep a site safe. In this article we’ll go over what you should look for when choosing a security system – and how Prime Secure’s line of CCTV Towers can provide you with exactly what you need.

Remote Access

Remote Access is a relatively new but vital feature of CCTV systems; the ability to access your video feeds without having to directly access your cameras is incredibly important. It means if you’re away from the site and alerted to a potential issue, you can quickly check on what’s happening. This rapid access ensures that in the case of an incident, you can get an immediate understanding of what’s going on. It also gives you the ability to check on employees and is in general an incredibly helpful feature.

With Prime Secure’s AI CCTV Towers, you have access to a 24/7 camera feed that lets you know exactly what’s happening on your property. No matter where you are, our dedicated app will allow you to access your cameras and get a good look at exactly what’s happening.

Remote Monitoring Services

CCTV is an excellent deterrent. Many criminals will avoid properties equipped with CCTV – more so than they will properties with manned guarding services in some cases; this is because if they’re captured on camera, the chance of serious prosecution increases. It also increases their chances of being caught.

Still, some criminals will attempt to steal or damage property regardless – and in that situation you’ll need to know as soon as possible what’s happening.

With Prime Secure’s CCTV Systems we offer a superb monitoring service. The moment something suspicious is picked up, we can quickly alert the police or contact manned guarding services. Because this is backed by AI learning technology, the chances of error are minimised as well – meaning no false alarms.

Recording Capacity

Capturing footage is vital; you’ll want to have 24/7 surveillance of your property in the events anything happens and have it on record – as it’s vital for any criminal proceedings.

Prime Secure provides towers with a massive 4TB of storage, ensuring all the footage necessary can be captured without any worries about storage or how much space it will take up. This footage can be accessed easily and at any time as well.

Modularity and Quick Installation

Traditional CCTV systems suffer from poor modularity. They require infrastructure like generators, wiring and intrusive cables and makes installation an extensive process. One of the primary benefits of a CCTV tower is that this process is cut down and you can have the tower easily set up – regardless of the environment it’s going to be operating in. You will also want to ensure its portable – so it can be moved and adjusted to fit the changing needs of the site.

Prime Secure has worked to ensure its AI CCTV and Eco Towers are easy to install, set up and can work in any construction or building environment required. You won’t need to worry about having to alter your site to suit the needs of your security, as its sturdy, simple design means its easy to move and redeploy as required.

Clear Image Quality

Another vital feature is the quality of the footage itself. In the worst-case scenario in which a crime occurs, you’ll want to know what’s happening and who’s responsible. Low camera quality will mean it’s harder to identify what exactly is happening and won’t provide evidence necessary for police investigations or convictions.

High camera quality – especially HD and or in 4k, will allow for you to get a clear understanding of what exactly is happening on your property. In the event of an incident, it will,

  • Allow you to provide the police with evidence of the intruder’s activities and help allow them to resolve the situation
  • Help guarantee a prosecution

By going with Prime Secure’s AI or Eco towers, you’ll guarantee you get the best image quality on the market. We’ve worked hard to find the best cameras possible for our towers, ensuring a high-quality image for our clients.
