CCTV & Access Integration in Oxfordshire

The short version

Integration links the access control system to CCTV so every door event has a matching video clip. Instead of scrubbing hours of footage, you click the event and watch it.

In Oxfordshire this tends to be specified in one of two situations: a new fit-out where it can be designed in cleanly, or a retrofit where cable routes and existing door hardware dictate half the answer. Both are routine for us; they are just priced differently.

Typical Oxfordshire applications

Any site already running both systems, and any site where incidents need evidencing.

• Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
• Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.
• Healthcare and care homes — step-free automated entry, staff-only zones and fail-safe escape routes.
• Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.

Scope of works

• Shared user interface across access and video
• Retention aligned to your data protection policy
• Export of clip plus audit record for incident reporting

From first call to handover

First a survey, then a written quote per door, then a booked date — in that order, with no pressure between the steps. Most of the cost variation between quotations comes down to cable routing, which is exactly what a survey exists to establish. We survey, quote in writing, and only then book the install. No estimates over the phone that change on the day.

Once it is in, we test it door by door, prove the fire release with the alarm panel, enrol your users and hand over the records. Maintenance, if you want it, is a separate and optional arrangement.
