CCTV and access control for North Wales businesses
Keep an eye on your premises from anywhere. Business CCTV, remote monitoring and access control, installed and supported by a local team, so your site and your people are protected.
Knowing your premises are secure, even when you are not there, is worth a lot. Modern CCTV and access control let you see what is happening and control who gets in, all from your phone, with none of the hassle of old analogue systems or a drawer full of keys.
Because we are an IT firm, we treat these as the connected systems they now are: set up securely on your network, sensibly configured, and properly looked after, not bolted on and forgotten.
What we install and support
Business CCTV
Indoor, outdoor and battery-operated cameras, positioned to cover what matters, with recording you can count on.
Cloud or local storage
Cloud-managed cameras for off-site monitoring, or local recording if you prefer to keep footage on site. Your choice.
Cameras anywhere
Need eyes on an outbuilding, gate or far corner of the site? We can link remote cameras back over a point-to-point wireless bridge.
Remote viewing & management
Check live and recorded footage securely from your phone or laptop, and we keep the system healthy and updated.
Access control
Manage entry with fobs, cards, codes or app access. Grant and revoke access instantly and see who came and went.
Done the right way
Set up with data protection in mind: sensible signage, sensible camera positions and secure storage of footage.
Security that works with the rest of your IT
CCTV and access control rely on a solid network and a sensible approach to security, which is exactly what we do. They sit naturally alongside our WiFi, networks and cabling work and our wider cyber security service, all from one local team you can pick up the phone to.

Common questions
Can I view the cameras from my phone?
Yes. Modern business CCTV lets you check live and recorded footage securely from your phone or laptop, wherever you are. We set it up so it is easy to use and locked down properly, not left open to the internet.
How long is footage kept?
That depends on the number of cameras, the image quality and the storage you choose. We will recommend a sensible retention period for your needs and make sure recording is reliable, so the footage is there when you actually need it.
What is access control?
It is how you manage who can get into your premises and when, using fobs, cards, codes or apps instead of physical keys. You can grant and revoke access instantly, see who came and went, and stop worrying about lost keys.
Is CCTV allowed under data protection rules?
Business CCTV is allowed, but it comes with responsibilities around signage, where cameras point and how footage is stored. We set systems up with that in mind and point you to the ICO guidance so you stay on the right side of the rules.
