Security & ELV

Know what is happening before it becomes a problem

Camera positions planned around actual sight lines and entry points — not spaced evenly around a building and hoped for the best.

The problem

Most camera systems fail at the moment they are needed

The footage covers the wrong angle. The recorder overwrote the week you needed. Nobody can log in to the machine that holds the log. The camera that mattered was pointing at a wall.

Every one of those is a design failure rather than an equipment failure — which is why a survey matters more than the camera specification.

Blind spots

Coverage arranged for symmetry rather than for the routes people actually take.

Poor placement

Cameras fighting backlight, or mounted where they capture the top of a head.

Inadequate recording

Retention left at whatever the recorder shipped with, overwriting the evidence.

Weak remote access

A system nobody set up properly, so nobody checks it.

The solution

Coverage designed from the property, not the catalogue

A survey establishes the entry points, sight lines and lighting conditions that actually matter. Four well-placed cameras usually beat eight arranged for appearances.

Recording is then sized for the retention period you specify, and remote viewing is configured and demonstrated before handover rather than left as a manual for you to work through.

Cameras — network or analogue, dome, bullet or PTZ as the position requires

Recording — NVR or DVR with storage sized for your retention period

Viewing — remote access set up and demonstrated at handover

Coverage — planned around entry points and sight lines

Installation — cabling, mounting and configuration by our own engineers

Property types

Where we install surveillance

The camera count is an output of the survey. These are the patterns behind it.

Homes

Gate, driveway and the blind sides of the building, usually with poor night lighting.

Coverage of the approach with colour night imaging, plus remote viewing so the property is checkable while you are away.

Book a Security Survey

Offices

Reception, corridors and server or stock areas where access needs a record.

Cameras positioned to capture faces at controlled points, tied into the access system where one exists.

Book a Security Survey

Shops and retail

Till points, entrances and stockrooms where visibility deters as much as it records.

Positions that make surveillance visible at the door and detailed at the counter.

Book a Security Survey

Estates

Gatehouse, perimeter and shared common areas across multiple buildings.

A single coherent system across shared infrastructure rather than each resident buying their own.

Book a Security Survey

Facilities

Yards, loading areas and long perimeters, often beyond easy cable runs.

Longer-range cameras and, where cabling is impractical, solar-powered lighting with integrated cameras.

Power the systems your property depends on.

Cameras, recorders and access controllers draw continuous power — and they fail exactly when the supply does. We design the energy side too, so they stay up.

Common questions

What buyers ask us

How many cameras does my property need?

Usually fewer than people expect, if they are positioned properly. A survey identifies the entry points and sight lines that matter — four well-placed cameras generally beat eight arranged for symmetry.

Can I view the cameras from my phone?

Yes. Remote viewing is standard on the network systems we install, and we configure it and show you how to use it before handover.

How long is footage kept?

Retention depends on how much storage is installed, how many cameras record, and at what resolution and frame rate. We size storage for the retention period you specify rather than accepting the recorder default.

Do cameras work at night?

The systems we supply use infrared or hybrid lighting for night imaging, and several produce full colour after dark. Which is appropriate depends on the position and its existing lighting.

What happens during a power outage?

That depends entirely on whether the security load was included in the backup design. When Sunnovate handles both pillars it is — which is the main argument for specifying them together.

A survey produces a specification you can price. A catalogue does not.
