HOLD THE LINE.
Cameras, doors and networks, designed as one system.
We survey, install and monitor security for warehouses, campuses and offices across the North West. CCTV that flags what matters, access control your people actually use, and a network built on zero trust. Commissioned in weeks, looked after for years.
Manchester based. 214 sites under watch. NSI Gold approved.
One integrator. Four layers that talk to each other.
Most sites have cameras from one firm, doors from another and a network nobody owns. We design the whole stack together, so an alarm at a door can pull up the right camera and lock the right switch port in the same second.
-
01 / Video
CCTV with video analytics
4K and thermal cameras with on-device analytics that tell a person from a fox, and a loiterer from a delivery driver.
- Line-crossing and loitering rules
- ANPR at gates and loading bays
- 30 days of footage, encrypted at rest
-
02 / Access
Access control people use
Phone credentials, card and PIN where they make sense, and visitor passes that expire on their own.
- Mobile and card readers on one platform
- Lockdown in one tap, by zone
- Audit trail for every door, every time
-
03 / Network
Zero-trust networking
Every camera, reader and laptop proves who it is before it reaches anything. Nothing on the network trusts anything by default.
- Segmented VLANs for security devices
- Device certificates, no shared passwords
- Firmware kept current, on a schedule
-
04 / Watch
24/7 remote monitoring
Our control room in Salford watches your site overnight and at weekends, verifies every alarm and acts on it.
- Operators verify before anyone is called
- Live audio challenge from site speakers
- Police URN for verified intrusions
See the blind spots before anyone else does.
This is how a survey starts: a plan of the building, every camera's field of view and every controlled door. Switch layers on and off, then add the two cameras we would recommend and watch the blind spots close.

Sample plan of a 4,200 m² distribution warehouse. Coverage is worked out live from the camera cones on the plan.
02:14 on a Sunday. Four and a half minutes, handled.
An alarm is only useful if someone acts on it properly. This is a real-shaped night at a client's yard, minute by minute.
- 02:14:00
Person detected at the east fence
Thermal camera 7 flags a person crossing the fence line rule. Foxes and blowing sheeting are ignored.
- 02:14:20
Operator verifies the clip
A Salford operator sees the 10-second clip and the live view side by side and confirms an intruder.
- 02:15:05
Audio challenge on site
"You are on camera and police are being called." Most people leave here.
- 02:16:40
Keyholder and police called
The keyholder is called with a summary. Police get a verified alarm, so they come quickly.
- 02:18:30
Clip and report sent
By the time the keyholder opens their phone, the report, clips and a timeline are already in their inbox.
