Security & Surveillance (CCTV)

This is the whole CCTV systems and security range in one place — every camera, recorder, alarm, access control and door entry product we stock, together with the mounts, cable, power supplies and storage an installation actually needs.

A working system is rarely one purchase. Cameras are chosen against a recorder with the channel count and bandwidth to match; the recorder is chosen against surveillance-rated drives sized for the retention period; and the whole lot needs brackets, cable, connectors and a power supply that were specified at the same time rather than ordered late. Intruder alarms and access control sit beside the cameras because they are usually commissioned on the same visit — from a single camera to a full building system combining wired and wireless devices, in HD analogue and in IP/PoE. Hikvision, ESP, HDview, HiLook, TP-Link and RekorHD supply the cameras and recorders, with ColorVu night vision across much of the range; Pyronix, Ajax, Texecom and GJD the intruder alarms and detectors; RGL, CDVI and ACTpro the access control, with Aperta door entry; and Haydon, Altron and B-Tech the mounting, power, enclosures and accessories.

Start with CCTV Cameras, then Network Video Recorders or Digital Video Recorders, and CCTV Hard Drives & Storage. Camera choice branches by type: PTZ Cameras for moving coverage, Speciality Cameras for body-worn, panoramic and people-counting units, Thermal Security Cameras for detection in total darkness, and Hikvision Cameras for the full brand range. Footage is viewed on CCTV Monitors, and the install hardware is in Camera Mounts & Brackets and BNC Connectors & CCTV Cable. For the alarm and entry side see Smart Alarms & Sensors, Smart Access Control and Door Entry & Intercom Systems. Panels on their own are in Alarm Panels, complete single-manufacturer systems in Ajax Alarm Systems, and a single smart bell in Video Doorbells.
