Upgrade your cameras to 'full colour at night', two way audio or smart human detection.

Upgrade your system to work with Alexa, Home Assistant, Google Home and many more.
Night-time is where many systems fall short. ColourVu (full colour at night) cameras use advanced low-light sensors and supplemental lighting to retain colour information when standard IR goes grey.
Why it helps: better clothing/vehicle colour identification, improved detail at doors and driveways, and clearer footage for police/insurance.
"ColourVu cameras provide full-colour images when it matters most—after dark. Seeing in colour at night helps you pick out vital details, such as clothing and vehicle colours, which can be invaluable when investigating an incident."
Adding audio can transform the evidential value of footage and improve safeguarding. We can supply cameras with on-board microphones or add external mics where appropriate.
Good for: entrances, reception areas, trade counters, interview rooms.
Privacy note: we’ll help you configure audio only where justified, add signage and set sensible retention. You can disable or schedule audio if needed.
Modern analytics distinguish people and vehicles from general movement (trees, rain, insects), so you get fewer false alerts and faster searching. We can add rules such as line-crossing (perimeter), intrusion zones, and loitering where relevant.
For larger spaces, a smart PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) can auto-track a target, zooming in to follow movement across a yard or car park. We often pair a PTZ with fixed cameras: the fixed cameras guarantee continuous coverage while the PTZ provides close-up identification on demand.
Where there’s a clear, lawful purpose (e.g., managing a known-offenders list for a licensed venue), we can deploy face recognition carefully and transparently.
We’ll discuss lawful basis, signage, access controls, retention and user permissions.
You stay in control of who is enrolled and why.
If face recognition isn’t appropriate, we’ll say so and propose alternative measures (e.g., people/vehicle analytics, access control).
Important: This feature is not suitable for every site. We’ll provide practical guidance so you can meet your data-protection obligations.

Usually yes. If they’re sound, we’ll reuse them; if they bottleneck performance (e.g., old DVR), we’ll quote sensible replacements.
No—most upgrades are same-day. We plan camera swaps and an NVR changeover to keep downtime to a minimum.
This depends on the ownership of the land you wish to cover. If applicable, we’ll help with signage, user permissions and retention settings so you’re using these features appropriately.
Often yes—ColourVu cameras provide usable colour in very low light. Where needed, we’ll add discreet supplemental light.
It drastically reduces them, but nothing is 100%. Correct camera placement and rules make the biggest difference—we handle that for you.
Yes—simple automations (e.g., lights on with an alarm) are available. Ask us during the survey.
