Case Study

CCTV system upgrade for a Chelmsford business park

Commercial premises in Chelmsford

Challenge: An existing analogue CCTV system was providing poor image quality and had no remote viewing capability. The client needed evidential-quality footage and the ability to monitor their premises out of hours.

Solution: We designed and installed a 16-camera 4K IP CCTV system with a commercial-grade NVR, remote viewing app, and 60 days of continuous recording.
