IP Video Surveillance and CCTV

No-one in business can escape the speed of change. And with its rapid developments in closed and open circuit technologies, surveillance is no exception.

You can easily be swamped by the new jargon, IP, WAN, digital recording, codecs, broadband access, integration - new terms defining new alternatives. Which is why our customer-led, partnership approach starts with a dialogue to create understanding, to develop partnerships and to ensure we deliver not just a system, but your system.

Changing Technology Over the past ten years, advances in technology have led to an electronic revolution in the security systems industry and it could be argued that video surveillance as a sector has been affected most of all.

So much so, that we must now change our definition of Video Surveillance as we know it. Gone are the days of the 'Closed Circuit', now wireless and networked solutions can be utilised to allow for added flexibility and controllability for the user.

Product Evaluation

In order to properly understand and evaluate new product, we have invested in a technology lab and an outside demonstration facility. We are able to independently assess new products before recommending them to customers.

The ability to handle digital data has opened up opportunities to integrate systems fully and has revolutionised the way that data is stored and will be stored in the future. So it takes a company with both logical and physical security expertise to offer you the best video solution.

Pointer have been installing large scale video systems for almost twenty years. We can provide the full range of Video Services including Proof of Concept, Rotakin testing, Event Monitoring and Intelligent Video applications.

Supplier Partnerships

We work with world-class manufacturers including Cisco, Panasonic, Pelco and Indigovision to stay at the forefront of this ever evolving technology, ensuring that you are provided with the highest quality, most cost effective solution.

The continual advances in Video Surveillance technology have led to a significant increase in both the capacity and capability of Video Surveillance systems, and there are now cameras available that will provide video images in virtually any environment.

Your Project

But we recognise that every installation is different - we tailor our systems to meet your needs. This is why IT and Security Managers as well as end-users of Video Surveillance systems depend on companies such as Pointer to correctly design, install and maintain systems for any given set of circumstances.

And it doesn't stop there; from our state-of-the-art Event Monitoring Centre (EMC) we can monitor all types of Video Surveillance systems 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to the BS8418 standard. Our highly skilled operators are trained to recognise and interpret events and action the most suitable response.
