CCTV Installation Manchester

Do you have an old CCTV system which could do with updating? Argus Fire & Security is able to provide repairs, replacements, and maintenance services for old CCTV systems in Manchester. We can carry out a wide range of repairs on CCTV systems, including the replacement of cameras if required. Most old CCTV systems we would recommend updating due to the quality of the cameras.

All CCTV systems should be checked by professionals at least once a year to make sure they are fully operational. Police CCTV systems need to be serviced every 2 years unless a fault occurs in this period. Keeping CCTV systems serviced and maintained will lead to ensuring your property stays protected throughout the years to come.

Are you conscious about your valuable items that cannot be stored in your homes, such as bikes, cars, tools, and equipment? Then Driveway CCTV and garden CCTV systems can help you secure your property and keep a watchful eye over your possessions. With car theft on the rise, CCTV could be a valuable tool not only for the conviction of the criminals but most of all will act as a deterrent.

Here at Argus, our experienced team can provide a complete range of IP CCTV systems to suit your needs. These internet protocol cameras are extremely flexible and can be installed in practically any environment. They receive their power through the same cable as their system connection, using PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) wires. This means they can be installed in your home or business with little fuss.

Thanks to their versatility, these systems are also much easier to adapt and evolve as your needs change. Whether you change your layout and your vulnerabilities change, or you build extensions which require surveillance, these systems can be moved around or enhanced as required.

IP cameras also have a standard resolution of 1.3MO. This is almost 4 times the size of traditional analogue cameras. As such, you will also be able to rely on a much more reliable and cleaner image through your surveillance system.

Although these systems are becoming less popular, many businesses still prefer to use a system they understand. Analogue CCTV systems have been the commercial and industrial standard for many years. Many businesses also already have the system in place and are reluctant to transfer to an IP solution.

Whether you’re looking for a professional team to resolve issues with your analogue CCTV system, or you want to protect your property with a traditional surveillance solution, get in touch today. Argus is one of the most experienced CCTV companies in Manchester. As such, we can deliver a complete range of analogue CCTV systems to commercial and industrial properties of all kinds.

For high-risk properties, usually stocking or handling high-value materials, there is the option for police-response and monitored CCTV systems. These solutions ensure a quick response as soon as the CCTV system detects criminal behaviour, or an alarm is triggered. This system will either call the police directly or notify the alarm company. From there, the alarm company will attempt to get in touch with you. If they can’t, they will notify the police, who will despatch officers to investigate.

These systems are not suitable for every property. You need to apply for permission to install a police-response alarm. Argus Fire and Security will apply on your behalf and attempt to get you the security solution you need.

CCTV cameras are only as useful as the image they provide back, which is why when choosing an external camera, you should ensure that it works at night and can still provide a clear image. Not all cameras have the ability to provide a clear image when night falls. You should ensure that your chosen CCTV system has a night vision built-in before letting the engineer install the CCTV System.

A 360-degree camera offers a non-static view, they can be moved at a 360-degree angle ensuring that the entire of its surroundings are viewable and can even track motion if required.

They’re best positioned in areas where they’re able to cover the full 360-degree angle the ideal platform for them to sit on is a pole giving them a high view of the area meaning they can spot any trespassers early and giving the home or business owner time to react or track their progress.
