CCTV Installation and Video Surveillance

IP camera systems designed, installed and maintained — with recording, remote viewing and retention that meets your needs.

In short

A CCTV system is a set of cameras, a recorder and a network that captures and retains video of a site so incidents can be reviewed afterwards. ITVEDA designs and installs IP camera systems using Hikvision, Dahua and CP Plus hardware, sized around the coverage you need, the retention period you must keep and the bandwidth your site has. Installation includes cabling, PoE switching, recorder configuration, mobile and desktop viewing, and an AMC that keeps cameras clean, aimed and recording.

What is included

What CCTV and surveillance covers

Everything below is in scope as standard. Anything outside it is quoted and approved by you before any work starts.

  • Site survey and camera plan

    Coverage mapped against entry points, cash points, stores and blind spots, with camera type chosen per position.

  • IP and PoE infrastructure

    Cat6 cabling, PoE switching and surge protection, so cameras are powered and networked over one run.

  • Recording and retention

    NVR or server-based recording sized for the retention period you need, not the one that fits the smallest disk.

  • Remote and mobile viewing

    Secure access from phone and desktop, without opening the recorder to the internet.

  • Network segmentation

    Cameras placed on their own VLAN so a compromised device cannot reach your business network.

  • Maintenance contract

    Scheduled lens cleaning, re-aiming, firmware updates, recording verification and fault replacement.

How it works

The delivery process, step by step

Nothing here is a surprise on the day. Each step has a named output, and you sign off before the next one starts.

  1. 1 · Survey

    In progress

    We walk the site, agree what must be seen and identify what each position actually needs.

  2. 2 · Design and quote

    Not started

    Camera schedule, cable routes, storage calculation and a fixed price, all in writing.

  3. 3 · Cabling

    Not started

    Structured Cat6 runs, containment and PoE switching installed and tested.

  4. 4 · Installation and focus

    Not started

    Cameras mounted, aimed and focused on site — a camera pointing slightly wrong is the most common reason footage is useless.

  5. 5 · Configuration and handover

    Not started

    Recording schedules, motion zones, user accounts, mobile access and a short training session for your team.

  6. 6 · Ongoing AMC

    Not started

    Periodic checks that every camera is still recording and that the footage is still readable.

What changes

What you actually get out of it

  • Footage that is usable as evidence, not a blurred silhouette

  • Retention that meets your policy or insurer requirement

  • Cameras isolated from the business network

  • Verified recording, rather than discovering a gap after an incident

Questions

CCTV & Surveillance — frequently asked questions

Straight answers, including the cases where the honest answer is that you do not need this service.

How many CCTV cameras does an office need?

Coverage is driven by positions, not floor area: every entrance and exit, the reception, each corridor junction, the server room, the stores and any cash-handling point. A typical single-floor office of 3,000 to 5,000 sq ft lands between eight and sixteen cameras once those positions are counted.

How long can CCTV footage be stored?

Retention depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate and disk capacity. Thirty days is the usual target and is achievable for most small installations with 4 to 8 TB of storage; we calculate the exact figure for your camera schedule before quoting the recorder.

Can we view the cameras on a mobile phone?

Yes, from the manufacturer app on iOS and Android and from any desktop browser. We configure access through the vendor cloud relay or a VPN rather than by port-forwarding the recorder, because an internet-exposed NVR is one of the most commonly attacked devices on a business network.

Do IP cameras need a separate power supply?

No. PoE cameras take power and data over the same Cat6 cable from a PoE switch or the recorder, which is why we cable rather than use wireless cameras for anything permanent.

Is CCTV maintenance really necessary?

Yes, and it is the step most often skipped. Lenses collect dust and spiders, mounts drift, drives fail silently and firmware falls behind. A CCTV AMC exists so that the first time you check the footage is not the first time anyone noticed a camera stopped recording six weeks ago.
