Solution Description
This solution is designed for modern corporate office environments where staff, visitors, equipment and data all need robust, integrated protection. We combine high-definition CCTV, monitored intruder alarms, and controlled access to key areas such as receptions, comms rooms, finance offices and boardrooms. The system is built on IP-based infrastructure so it can scale as your headcount and floor space grow.

Design Strategy
Every office layout is different, but the approach remains consistent:

• Perimeter coverage of entrances, car parks, loading bays and external doors
• Internal CCTV for reception, lift lobbies, stairwells and high-risk areas
• Door-by-door access control with fobs/cards and time-based permissions
• Protected routes to and from comms rooms and secure storage areas
• Integration of alarms, CCTV and access control into a central management platform

Common Challenges in Office Environments
Corporate offices often face a similar set of issues:

• High footfall through receptions and shared spaces
• Multiple tenants or departments sharing the same building
• Valuable IT equipment and confidential documents on site
• Out-of-hours cleaners, contractors and lone workers
• Compliance requirements for insurers, data security and H&S

Our solutions are designed to address these without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Typical Equipment Used
For a mid-sized office covering one to two floors, a typical package might include:

• IP cameras with IR and wide dynamic range
• Network video recorder (NVR) with 30+ days of storage
• Graded intruder alarm system with door contacts, PIRs and internal sounders
• Access-controlled doors with proximity readers and electronic locking
• Video intercom at main entrance(s)
• Core network switch, PoE for cameras, and secure segregation from office data network

IT Systems & Integration
With our experienced specialists, we can deliver:

• Network design for CCTV and access control, including VLANs and QoS
• Secure remote access for management and monitoring
• On-site, cloud or hybrid storage strategies
• Integration with existing IT and building management systems where required

Project Delivery & Phasing
Most corporate office projects are delivered in phases:

• Site survey and consultation to confirm risk areas and client objectives
• System design, drawings and equipment schedule
• First-fix cabling (usually alongside IT or fit-out contractors)
• Second-fix installation, commissioning and testing
• Handover, user training and optional maintenance agreement

Indicative Project Cost
Larger multi-floor or multi-site deployments can be scoped individually, and alternative equipment options can be offered to suit specific budgets or insurer requirements.
Every installation is bespoke and influenced by building layout, cabling routes, equipment choices and integration requirements. Contact us for a quote.
