Secure Footage Storage & Data Protection

We understand that security footage often contains sensitive information requiring robust protection, which is why we implement stringent data security measures across all our monitoring services. Our customers benefit from flexible storage options tailored to their specific requirements and regulatory needs. Local storage solutions using Network Video Recorders (NVRs) or Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) provide immediate on-site access to footage with no dependency on internet connectivity. Our secure cloud storage options offer the advantage of off-site backup, preventing footage loss in case of equipment damage or theft at your premises. Many clients opt for our hybrid storage approach, combining on-site recording with cloud backup for critical events, delivering both immediate access and long-term security. All our storage solutions are designed with GDPR compliance as a fundamental principle, incorporating appropriate retention periods, access controls, encryption protocols and secure deletion procedures. Our staff receive regular data protection training, and we maintain detailed data processing records to ensure your CCTV system remains fully compliant with current privacy legislation whilst delivering the security protection you need.

Our Advanced CCTV Monitoring Process: Detection, Verification, Action

Our comprehensive CCTV monitoring service follows a proven three-step process that ensures swift, accurate responses to potential security threats at your property. From the moment an event is detected to the resolution of the situation, our integrated system works seamlessly to provide maximum protection with minimal false alarms.

Intelligent Event Detection & Instant Alerts

Our advanced CCTV systems employ sophisticated detection technology to identify potential security concerns in real time. This includes smart motion detection that distinguishes between humans, vehicles and other movement, perimeter breach detection, AI analytics for recognising suspicious behaviour, and seamless integration with your existing intruder alarm sensors. When a potential threat is identified, the system instantly generates an alert that is simultaneously sent to our secure monitoring centre and to your mobile device via our ProControl app, ensuring you remain informed whilst our team begins their assessment.

Expert Visual Verification at Our Secure Monitoring Centre

Upon receiving an alert, our highly trained security professionals at our Alarm Receiving Centre immediately access live CCTV feeds to visually verify the situation. This critical verification step allows us to confirm genuine security threats, eliminate false alarms, assess the nature and severity of incidents, and make informed decisions about the appropriate response. Our monitoring centre operates around the clock with experienced security specialists who quickly evaluate security footage to ensure genuine threats receive immediate attention whilst preventing unnecessary emergency responses.

Rapid & Appropriate Response Protocol

Once our monitoring team has visually verified a security incident, we execute your unique emergency plan with precision and speed. Based on your predetermined instructions, we contact you or designated keyholders, issue verbal warnings through two-way audio if installed, dispatch our security team when necessary, liaise with police or emergency services, and provide them with verified information about the incident. Throughout this process, we keep you fully updated via your preferred contact method and maintain detailed records for insurance or legal purposes, delivering reliable protection for your home or business through our combination of advanced technology and expert human judgement.

Our Customer Reviews

Ian was very flexible and accommodating when I was renovating my house and considering a new system to protect my family. He recommended what I needed and we also discussed other options. He worked around my tradesmen and installed on time. We have been very happy with the system that can be activated and switched off via our phones. He’s a good guy that you can trust to deliver.
