It's the time of year where we are busy with installations before the summer event season begins! This week, we were up in Oldbury in Birmingham installing a new 4K CCTV system for a client. Previously, they had an analogue CCTV system which wasn't offering the clarity they needed. The client needed a system with the best definition, which would record 24/7 and be remotely accessible. So we got to work!

Our installation consisted of 3 Reolink 4K cameras and a Reolink NVR. The cameras were wired in by means of PoE which provided both power and data to each camera directly from the NVR meaning power points were not needed at each camera location. The cameras feature high powered LED lights which automatically trigger at the detection of movement. Not only that, they also contain a speaker which allows the user to communicate two ways via the camera or sound a deterrent upon detected movement.
The NVR was linked to the internet via an ethernet cable which gives the company the ability to remotely view the cameras from a mobile device or computer and look back at recorded footage.
With the cameras wired in, the NVR was linked to an HDMI monitor which allowed the company to keep an eye on the outside from the comfort of a very warm office! The CCTV cameras feature a built in AI which is able to distinguish between Person, Vehicle and Animal. This is particually useful when reviewing recordings as the NVR marks on recordings the different types of motion it detected during the recording.

With the installation complete, it was time to hand over the new system to the client knowing that their premises is that little bit more secure!
