IP CCTV Design & Install
Coverage-led camera plan with the right resolution and lens for each position — not a uniform camera everywhere.
Surveillance
CCTV & Electronic Surveillance
IP CCTV designed around coverage and evidence quality — not just camera count. Plus NVR, VMS, storage sizing and access control.
Overview
What We Deliver
A surveillance system is only worth what its footage is worth in an incident. Cameras mounted without a coverage plan, storage sized by guesswork, and a recorder left on default credentials produce exactly the footage you cannot use when you need it.
BS Gateway designs CCTV around identifiable outcomes: which areas need detection, which need recognition, and which need identification-grade detail. From there we specify resolution, lens, mounting height and lighting, size the storage against your required retention period, and build the camera network as a segmented VLAN rather than dropping it onto your office LAN.
Scope of Work
- Site survey, camera coverage planning and field-of-view marking
- IP camera specification — resolution, lens, low-light and IP/IK rating
- NVR and VMS deployment with user roles and audit logging
- Storage sizing against your required retention period
- PoE switching and dedicated, segmented camera network
- Secure remote viewing on mobile and desktop
- Access control — card, PIN and biometric readers with door hardware
- Integration with attendance and visitor management workflows
What Working With Us Means
- Coverage plan agreed before a single bracket is drilled — you see the field-of-view map first
- Storage sized to the retention period you actually need, with the calculation shown
- Cameras on a segmented VLAN, with default credentials changed on every device
- Handover includes camera position schedule, credentials record and a walkthrough for your team
Capabilities
CCTV & Surveillance in Detail
NVR, VMS & Storage
Recorder and video management setup with retention-based storage sizing, RAID protection and health alerts.
Remote Monitoring
Secure mobile and desktop viewing over VPN or a hardened gateway — never a camera port opened to the internet.
Access Control
Card, PIN and biometric readers, electromagnetic locks, exit devices and door controllers with audit trails.
Attendance & Visitors
Biometric attendance and visitor management integrated with the same credential infrastructure.
Camera Network Security
Dedicated VLAN, changed default credentials and firmware currency — cameras are the most commonly abused device class.
Questions
CCTV & Surveillance FAQs
Camera count follows from coverage requirements, not floor area. We walk the site and mark every position where you need detection (something is happening), recognition (who it is, if you know them) or identification (evidential-quality facial detail). Each level implies a different pixel density on target, which drives resolution, lens choice and mounting height. Most sites need fewer, better-placed cameras than they expect.
Storage depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, compression codec and whether you record continuously or on motion. As an indicative figure, one 4 MP camera recording continuously at 15 fps with H.265 uses roughly 15–25 GB per day — so 20 such cameras for 30 days lands in the 9–15 TB range. We calculate this precisely for your configuration and include the working, plus headroom.
Yes. We configure secure remote access on mobile and desktop. We do this over VPN or a hardened gateway rather than by port-forwarding the recorder to the internet, which is how a very large number of CCTV systems are compromised.
Yes. Our annual maintenance contracts cover preventive visits including lens cleaning, focus checks, recording verification, storage health, firmware currency and backup power testing, along with defined-response breakdown support.
