Perpetuity has an unprecedented level of expertise in the area of CCTV and monitoring services.
We have worked with councils, government agencies, law enforcement agencies and major corporate companies in all areas of CCTV requirements both in terms of consultancy work and in research.
Perpetuity can provide specialist and objective support, however large or small the project, so that organisations make the right choices and get the best results from their CCTV systems and control rooms. Whether it is help to assess and improve current systems or purchasing a new system/monitoring suite and making sure this works as effectively as possible.
Our area of expertise also includes security clearance checks on staff working for a business or seeking to work for a business within the CCTV environment where security of staff on the inside is as vital as the equipment they operate.
Ways we can help
Whether you need help assessing and improving your current system or purchasing a new system and making sure this works as effectively as possible, we can help. Our areas of expertise include:
The current system
System performance – identifying the factors that determine success and failure as they apply to your CCTV system and telling you how the good points can be improved and the limitations managed.
Control room – assessing effectiveness of control room operations, including signal management, ergonomics, system graphical user interface (GUI) and staff ratios.
Stakeholder views – interviewing key staff and stakeholders, providing an independent assessment of perceptions of effectiveness, performance gaps, and suggestions on how the system could be improved.
Other technologies – advising on how CCTV should integrate with other security measures such as access control, alarms, physical security, intercom systems, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), security lighting, ramps, barriers and locking systems.
Strategy – evaluating and making recommendations to improve systems, policies and procedures, providing a new strategy if required.
Tendering process
Project viability – conducting feasibility studies fully costed for capital and revenue for all phases of a CCTV project.
Tender documentation – preparing technical specifications, pre-qualification questionnaires and invitations to tender.
Design issues – ensuring all CCTV cameras and equipment are designed to be in keeping with the design of the area (in the street for example, this may include reducing the requirement for excessive street furniture), and with codes of practice and operating procedures.
Supplier suitability – evaluating appropriate tenderers and their submissions on your behalf to ensure they are technically compliant and provide best value.
Maintenance issues – ensuring that adequate preventative maintenance procedures are in place.
Legislation – ensuring that systems and the installation process are compliant with relevant legislation.
