Industrial CCTV Camera Installation

The need for Industrial CCTV Solutions

Industrial sites are commonly at a greater risk of theft, criminal intrusion and perimeter breaches, owing to several factors:

• High-value machinery, components and raw materials.
• Heavy duty vehicles, tools and loading equipment.
• Visible operating hours, with unstaffed sites overnight and at weekends.
• Multiple vehicle entry requirements for deliveries and dispatches.
• Broad land areas and complex building layouts.
• Combinations of visitors, drivers, personnel and site managers.

A busy industrial warehouse, production plant, construction site or metalworking facility often has a unique set of risks with multiple entry points such as main entrances, roller shutter doors, emergency exits, side entrances, loading bays and car park entrances.

When you factor in stairwells, multi-storey buildings, blind spots, storage bays, and pedestrian routes between work sites or facilities, the importance of CCTV surveillance to protect your industrial site becomes vital.

Advanced CCTV systems do so much more than deter criminal activity. Managers can use them to track progress, monitor site footfall, plan logistics and detect unusual or suspicious patterns of behaviour, with options such as AI-enabled facial recognition, automatic number plate detection, automated entry systems and footfall tracking.

Temporary CCTV Hire

Where industrial units or workplaces are at greater risk, perhaps due to delivery of high-value materials or during complex logistical programmes, temporary CCTV hire can provide a robust security defence.

Locations are often targeted to coincide with periods when particular vehicles, equipment or materials are being stored or delivered to the site. There are substantial economies in pre-empting potential threats with a CCTV camera system.

Industrial CCTV Camera System Features

The right features for your CCTV solutions will depend on a number of important variables – our security consultants can organise a no-obligation system design service or schedule a site survey to conduct a professional risk assessment to help determine the optimal approach.

Features you may require include:

• Wireless CCTV; ideal for sites or premises without mains power supplies, an intermittent or unreliable supply, where laying cabling is not practical, or where the risk of tampering is high.
• PTZ cameras provide pan, tilt and zoom functionality and allow operators to manually direct the CCTV to investigate potential problems or determine the cause of an alarm.
• Dome CCTV cameras are used indoors and out, with a concealed lens so prospective criminals cannot see the way the camera is facing or avoid facial detection scanning.
• Infrared and night vision cameras are excellent for sites requiring surveillance overnight and use infrared LEDs to illuminate the area of supervision and capture high-quality footage even in zero natural light.
• Day/night surveillance cameras capture clear images at any time of day or night and can record seamlessly in direct sunlight, omitting glare, backlight or reflections from your video stream.
• Thermal CCTV cameras pick up heat and can accurately verify the cause of an alarm, identify the presence of unauthorised intruders out of hours, or even detect unusual heat signals from machinery, electrics or components.

All Clearway industrial CCTV installations come with optional maintenance agreements, providing ongoing preventative repairs and updates and 24/7 emergency call-outs to correct any urgent issues.
