If you are a business or large property owner that requires a commercial level security system you need it to be completely reliable. You also need a company that can ensure the effectiveness of your security and monitoring systems going forward.
Having worked with high-net-worth and commercial clients we are more aware than ever that the advanced CCTV, intruder alarms, and access control systems that are needed for their properties require IT networks and internet connections that are resilient and reliable.
We need to start our conversations with these clients with understanding their current network set- ups and working out if we need to improve them. This is to ensure both the security systems, and other IT systems can function reliably.
Our managing director Aaron Kernaghan, explained: “Usually when we start talking about security then you are questioning ….. how they are going to run the CCTV system? So more often than not we would have a look at the network they have got… Is it just strung together or not been installed what we would call professionally?
“So therefore, you are looking at … how the network is put together and that might lead you to talk to them initially about the network cabling. How are the buildings, or the properties that have got, … linked together, is it fibre, and then if they are not linked by fibre, then you need an internet link, then usually the internet links are not resilient either.
“From just really having an enquiry just talking about a couple of cameras you get into the position of talking about the network switches for the cameras, the communications between buildings for the cameras, and then ultimately how does that communicate out to the internet?”
Our commitment to ensuring our IP CCTV cameras and other systems run smoothly has therefore led us to also provide robust internet connections that can support employees, security teams and the property owner. With the expansion of our offering to cloud CCTV and access control reliable internet connections become more important than ever.
We understand that when people connect to the internet, they rarely want to know how they are doing so but when they need to have a business video call or want to stream a film they want to do it with ease. This includes wanting to have an internet connection wherever they may be on a property, or on the move. Additionally, many clients want to be able to manage their security systems across sites and remotely, if needed.
This is why we have partnered with Peplink which provides cutting edge routers that increase bandwidth and enhance Internet reliability as well as being a Starlink authorised technology provider. By combining their solutions with Starlink’s, issues of internet cost, speed and reliability can be solved in even the most daunting of physical conditions, according to Peplink.
We are also Cisco partners and can help boost our customers’ internet bandwidth by offering a range of Cisco switches and routers. Using Cisco technology, we can offer indoor and outdoor access points allowing your employees and visitors to quickly and easily log into your Wi-Fi network providing greater flexibility of where people can work while remaining connected to the internet. Meanwhile, the Peplink routers include technology that will ensure that if one data connection fails it will quickly pick up another network so that users do not lose connectivity.
Businesses and high-net-worth individuals, Aaron believes, should not settle for ‘it will do’ when it comes to their security systems or with their installers. Opting for an NSI Gold installer, like Ecl-ips, that has networking and security system expertise, as well as experience with existing high-net-worth and commercial clients, should give you peace of mind that we can support you.
