What type of CCTV system is right for my business?
The ideal system depends on your premises’ size, layout, lighting, and specific security goals (e.g., monitoring entrances, deterring theft, overseeing operations). We conduct a free, no-obligation site survey to assess your needs and recommend a tailored solution, whether it’s a traditional wired system for maximum reliability or a flexible wireless/IP-based system for easier installation and scalability.
Can we view the camera feeds remotely on our phones?
Yes, absolutely. Our modern IP-based CCTV solutions come with secure mobile apps. This allows authorized managers and security personnel to view live footage, receive motion alerts, and playback recorded video from anywhere with an internet connection, providing peace of mind and control 24/7.
How long is the recorded footage stored?
Storage duration depends on the number of cameras, recording quality (resolution), frame rate, and the capacity of the Network Video Recorder (NVR) we install. We design systems with sufficient storage to meet common requirements, typically ranging from 30 to 90 days of continuous recording. Storage capacity can be easily expanded based on your needs.
Why is professional installation important?
Professional installation is crucial for security, performance, and longevity. Our experts ensure cameras are positioned for optimal coverage without blind spots, cables are securely run and protected, the system is correctly configured for your network, and all components are weatherproofed if needed. This avoids common issues like poor image angles, network failures, or equipment damage.
What is a biometric attendance system?

A biometric attendance system uses unique biological characteristics (like fingerprints, facial features, or iris patterns) to identify employees and record their attendance automatically, replacing traditional manual methods.

Which biometric method is most reliable?

Different methods suit different environments. Fingerprint scanners are common for office settings, while facial recognition can work well in environments where gloves are worn. The choice depends on your specific requirements and environment.

How many employees can a system handle?

Systems vary in capacity from small units handling 50-100 employees to enterprise solutions supporting thousands. We help match system capacity to your current workforce size with consideration for future growth.

Can it integrate with our existing payroll software?

Many systems offer integration capabilities or export attendance reports in standard formats (like Excel, CSV) that can be imported into most payroll systems. Specific compatibility depends on the software in use.

What if an employee's fingerprint doesn't scan well?

Most systems allow enrollment of multiple fingerprints or offer alternative methods like PIN codes or RFID cards as backup. Some advanced systems use facial recognition as a complementary option.

What maintenance is required?

Regular cleaning of sensors, software updates, and occasional technical support are typical. Most systems are designed for minimal maintenance. We coordinate with suppliers to provide necessary support.

Is the data secure and private?

Reputable systems encrypt biometric data and attendance records. Biometric templates are typically stored as mathematical representations rather than actual images. Access controls help ensure data privacy.

How long does installation take?

Simple standalone systems can be operational within hours. Networked systems with multiple devices may require 1-3 days depending on complexity. We work to minimize disruption to your operations.
