No matter the size, type or location of your company, a break-in or incident can be financially devasting and emotionally draining on a business and individuals.  A Video Surveillance System is the best way to protect your premises, if necessary recover assests and bring perpatrators to justice. 

Security and Surveillance will design, install, service and upgrade your system whilst ensuring you are advised on how to responsibly manage a system keeping you on the right side of the law when it comes to handling cctv data.

A good Video Surveillance System:

   -   will act as a deterent 

   -   will send alerts to a mobile device of your choice

   -   can be set up to work in conjuntion with a Sounder to play a pre recorded
       warning message to a would be intruder 

   -   will allow you to talk through a mircophone attached to a camera to
       communicate directly to a would be intruder informing them they have
       been detected, are being recorded and the Police have been notified and are
       on their way

   -   could help reduce insurance premiums at your premises

   -   could help a business meet legal obligations

There are many options that really can help protect assests that are important to you. We can visit your business, conduct a brief survey, discuss requirements and then provide options and prices to meet your needs.

The new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into force at the end of May 2018. All Business owners need to ensure they are compliant or they could face fines of up to 20 million Euros or 4% of turnover, whichever is greater.

What most Business owners are not aware is that GDPR covers commercial video surveillance systems. All identifiable images captured of people is considered personal data under GDPR. Therefore, at a data protection level, commercial video surveillance systems require the same level of thought and care that is being paid to other affected areas of a Business/Organisation.

In addition, most Business owners are not aware that commercial video surveillance systems are governed by guidance, regulations and legislation provided by the Information Commissionsers Office in the form of the 1998 Data Protection Act and the more recent CCTV Code of Practice. The GDPR has impacted further on these requirements.

The GDPR does not discourage the use of video surveillance systems, but instead encourages a balance for all parties regarding its usage. Whilst in the past, the concerns of the data subjects may have been disregarded in favour of the overriding interests of the Business owner or video surveillance system controller, this is no longer the case.

In short, most Business owners who have a video surveillance system are not aware of their data responsibilities and operate their system illegally leaving themselves open potentially to large fines. Security and Surveillance have solutions in the form of Video Surveillance System Data Compliance folders, public training sessions and bespoke training sessions to help you and your business stay on the right side of the law.
