Need CCTV where you have no cable route from your NVR, no problem.
Here we have installed a ubiquiti point to point radio link and LAN switch locally powered for communication back to the NVR.
Also two HIK Colour View cameras with strobes and sirens giving active protection and warning to people approaching.

We sometimes come across what some companies feel is acceptable cabling standards, we know this building is not the easiest to work in but no excuse for this aesthetically eye watering cabling in an occupied public area.

Time Change Alert: Is Your CCTV & Access Control Ready for British Summer Time?

Did you know that not all CCTV systems and access control units automatically update their time settings for British Summer Time (BST)?

What could go wrong?
• Your CCTV recordings may be an hour out, causing issues when reviewing footage.

💡 Don’t get caught out, take a moment to check your systems are automatic or plan for updating the time if not. Need help? Blue Dog Technical Services can assist with system updates and maintenance.

Unsure about where to place your CCTV cameras?

Proper CCTV placement is key to maximising security. Here are five key locations to consider when installing cameras:

1️⃣ Entry & Exit Points – Monitor who comes and goes at doors, gates, and driveways.
2️⃣ Blind Spot & Vulnerable Areas – Cover hidden areas like alleyways or back entrances.
3️⃣ High-Traffic Zones – Keep an eye on busy areas like reception desks or stockrooms.
4️⃣ Perimeter & Parking Areas – Deter trespassers and ensure vehicle security.
5️⃣ Valuable Assets & Storage Areas – Protect high-value equipment and sensitive information.

For a tailored security solution, expert placement is crucial. Need advice? Blue Dog Technical Services can help!

The difference between just doing an installation course and knowing what needs doing and how.
Two paxton video entry units on custom made (by me😀) stainless steel plates to cover the holes when the old ones removed, saving the customer the expense of builders, painters and being without security for an extended time.
