CCTV
We offer fully managed CCTV systems that go beyond the recording of events and can include:
- Audio deterrence
- External detection
- Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)
- Video analytics
- Pedestrian & vehicle traffic monitoring
- Mobile CCTV Towers
Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) systems are indispensable for modern businesses in a range of applications from security and health & safety, to loss prevention and incident investigation, providing real-time monitoring, deterrence, and post-event analysis through video surveillance. A fully comprehensive CCTV system involves strategic planning and the use of advanced technologies to ensure total coverage, high-quality footage, and seamless integration with other security measures. We have several residential customers and can install, monitor and maintain CCTV in all residential properties and developments for customers who value a higher level of home security.
In security, these systems react and warn of danger without the need of human intervention. With our expertise in security system integration, we can provide multiple site monitoring from a single location, warn people when a critical incident is detected and automatically summon police assistance.
Even in the event of off-site personnel, many of our systems can be accessed via a smart device and the user can still be involved in actioning any of these security measures in real-time.
In other applications, our systems allow visible access to all buildings and sites again providing a highly valuable analytic tool and many of our customers have come to rely on this not only in general surveillance, but also as part of their best practice in health and safety.

Our service includes:
Design
Site Assessment and Planning
When installing a new CCTV system, our team visits the site to identify the specific requirement of the client and then conducts a detailed survey to high-risk areas and critical points requiring coverage. We then design a comprehensive plan marking camera locations, coverage zones, and potential obstacles.
Field of View and Coverage
To ensure full and appropriate coverage, we determine the cameras and lenses most suited to the area. Using a mix of wide-angle lenses for a broader coverage and narrow-angle lenses for more detailed monitoring we can guarantee full site coverage to any specification.
Resolution and Image Quality
We recommend resolution depending on the the type of images/feed required, for example, high resolution (e.g., 1080p, 4K) to capture clear and detailed images, appropriate for critical areas and consider low-light and night vision capabilities for 24/7 monitoring.
Recording and Storage Capacity
Storage capacity is determined on camera resolution, frame rate, and retention period. Depending on the customer’s specific needs, we can implement efficient video compression standards (e.g., H.264, H.265) to maximise storage without compromising on quality.
Integration with Other Systems
We are often asked to integrate CCTV systems with existing security frameworks and it is imperative that it is compatible with current access control, intruder alarms, and fire alarm structures. This also allows for future system updates and expansion.
Data Security and Privacy
We also offer secure access to CCTV feeds and storage and again depending the on requirements of the client, we can guarantee full privacy of transmission with encryption to protect video data from unauthorised access and tampering. We also advise on compliance with data protection and GDPR laws regarding the storage and use of recorded footage.
User Accessibility and Control
Black Box offers intuitive interfaces for live monitoring, playback, and system management through control software, mobile applications, and online portals, ensuring only authorised personnel have the necessary access and training to operate the system effectively.
Supply & Installation
Professional Installation
Our certified installers will ensure comprehensive placement, wiring, and configuration of all components and that all cameras are positioned correctly with cables are securely connected, with stable and consistent power feeds.
Testing and Calibration
Once up and running, the system is fully tested for blind spots or insufficient coverage, the cameras are also checked and calibrated to ensure full transmitting and recording capability and optimal focus, alignment and exposure.
Maintenance and Support
On completion we establish a regular maintenance schedule, including lens cleaning, connection checks, software updates, and functionality tests. We also provide full user training, ongoing support and troubleshooting.
Innovation
Artificial Intelligence and Analytics
Black Box offers full AI-based analytics for advanced features like facial recognition, number plate recognition, and object detection. We can also introduce motion detection algorithms reducing false alarms whilst enhancing event detection.
Remote Access and Cloud Integration
Almost all of our CCTV systems offer secure remote access to live and recorded footage via cloud services, enabling real-time monitoring from anywhere with cloud storage for scalable, off-site data backup and disaster recovery.
Advanced Motion Detection
Our systems use smart motion detection to differentiate between relevant movements e.g. humans, vehicles and non-relevant activities e.g. animals, weather.
Environmental Sensors
Cameras are also incorporated with environmental sensors which monitor external changes to temperature and humidity and adapt to the conditions.
