Residential &
Commercial CCTV
Why You Should Consider CCTV.
CCTV is now being installed in more residential homes than ever before. The video and photographic evidence gained through the recordings is always beneficial in obtaining a conviction against criminals.
It is also an excellent deterrent. If a ‘would be’ burglar sees a camera on the front of your house, it is likely they will go elsewhere. All our cameras see in almost complete darkness, producing crisp images even at night.

Types of Cameras
We tend to use Dome CCTV cameras in most of the home installations we carry out. They are more aesthetically attractive on the outside of a house that a large turret or bullet camera, but still have the same desired effect of deterring burglars.
Dome CCTV cameras are available in grey or white – and one of their significant benefits is that the base is large enough to conceal the cables, meaning there is no need for a separate junction box. Obviously, this is not always a requirement because we install many of the household cameras alongside the eaves of a house, and feed the cabling into the loft space.
If there is no power in your loft for us to connect into it, then we can install it for you. Another benefit our CCTV systems is that most of them run from a 12v DC supply and don’t need to be earthed.
The only time that you will have to gain access to the DVR in the loft space is if you have been broken into and you want to download the video images directly from it.
In most cases the images can be downloaded remotely from a PC or tablet and saved to a file, or emailed elsewhere. The current range of HD-TVi cameras that we install give a clear, crisp image in live view or playback. The major advantage of this type of CCTV camera is the ability to zoom in on live view up to 8 times without losing focus. In playback the images are clear and precise if required for police evidence.
Dome cameras supplied by Procom Security are always vari-focal, allowing for the best images at setup. A vari-focal lens is usually 2.8mm to 12mm which means adjustments to the zoom or wide angle can be made manually at installation. The standard cameras only have a 3.6mm lens which has a fixed field of between 68 to 70 degrees of view, and cannot be changed. The main benefit of vari-focal is a greater area of coverage by a single camera allowing for a wider spread up to 92 degrees. The zoom can also be adjusted in order to pick up the end of a driveway or a front door, from a great distance, narrowing down to approx. 62 degrees.
Hidden cameras are often necessary when you suspect theft from your premises, things are being taken while you are away from your desk, your home or from store rooms, and proof is required to find out exactly who is responsible. We also supply them for use as nanny cameras or to see what ‘Home Helpers or Carers’ are up to while looking after your loved ones.
We can build and install a covert hidden camera into virtually any household device to fit in with the room in which it’s going to be used. We have previously built cameras into objects such as books, mirrors, clocks and sports equipment. The standard items that are most commonly used are key fobs, smoke alarms, PIR detectors, clocks, radios and power adaptors.
Camera units are installed with their own SD card to record quality images directly into the unit and make it easy to remove and play back on your PC. Most cameras are fitted with motion detection so if the unit is powered from the mains it will not be necessary to change the SD card daily.
Pan–Tilt–Zoom cameras (PTZ cameras) are CCTV cameras that can be operated remotely, both with a linked keypad and joy stick and over the internet, changing direction and zoom control.
They are often used where a professional CCTV installation is required to protect large premises externally. The cameras can be programmed to scan areas by presetting the desired locations. These can be different access doors or entry or exit points, car park entrances and loading bays.
The zoom control depends on the camera lens but can be from 10 times zoom up to 32 times zoom. The number of preset areas can be as high as 128 or it is possible to set 6 tours with the camera moving remotely across preset locations and permanently filming. This can be stopped by an operator at any time and one set location can then be zoomed into.
Auto Tracking
An innovation to the PTZ camera is a built-in firmware program that monitors the change of pixels generated by the video clip in the camera. When the pixels change due to movement within the camera’s field of view, the camera can actually focus on the pixel variation and move the camera in an attempt to centre the pixel fluctuation on the video chip. This process results in the camera following movement, whether that is a vehicle or a person walking. The program allows the camera to estimate the size of the object which is moving and distance of the movement from the camera. Using this estimate, the camera can adjust its optical lens to zoom in and out in an attempt to stabilise the size of pixel fluctuation as a percentage of total viewing area. Once the movement exits the camera’s field of view, the camera automatically returns to a pre-programmed or “parked” position until it senses pixel variation and the process starts over again.

What are 4K CCTV cameras?
4K CCTV cameras, also known as Ultra HD, capture videos at 3840 x 2160 pixels. This is four times more than standard HD cameras with 1920 x 1080 pixels. The difference in detail and clarity between Ultra HD and standard HD is remarkable.
Benefits of 4K CCTV.
• Exceptionally high picture resolution – 4 times more detail and clarity than standard HD CCTV cameras
• Retain detail when zooming in – Zoom in on distant objects such as faces and vehicle registration numbers without reducing image quality
• Wide angle lens for large scale monitoring – cover a wider area than standard HD CCTV cameras without loss of detail. Ideal for public spaces, warehouses and car parks
• Improved low-light performance – the larger image sensors in 4K cameras capture more light, which improves contrast and colour in low light settings

Facial Recognition.
At the frontier of access control technology is facial recognition. An effective access control system reduces your costs by doing away with expensive manned entry checks. Whilst other ways of controlling entry to your secure spaces such as keypads, card readers and biometric readers are useful, facial recognition is the ultimate in user friendly, seamless access control. Quite literally your face is your key. Our cutting-edge facial recognition system can be updated in real time giving you complete control of who can access your building or restricted areas.
If you want to future proof your access control systems, contact us for more information and your free site survey.
- Advanced access control security for your business – facial recognition technology which guarantees recognition accuracy
- Allow seamless entry for authorised personnel – create a whitelist of authorized persons allowing you to replace expensive manual checks at the entrance to your secure space
- Sounds alarm when an unauthorised person tries to enter your restricted area


Biometric facial recognition systems compare images of individuals from incoming CCTV video against specific databases and send alerts when a positive match occurs.
The key steps in facial recognition are:
- Face detection
- Recording detected faces
- Match recorded faces with those stored in a database
- Automatic process to find the closest match
Applications include:
- VIP lists – make staff aware of important individuals (VIPs) and respond in an appropriate manner
- Black lists – identify known offenders or to register suspects to aid public safety
- Banking transactions – verification of the persons attempting a financial transaction
- Access Control verification – confirming identity visually, manually or automatically
- Mustering – keep a tally of who is in and who is out
Perimeter Protection.
Securing Your Perimeter.
When you’re looking to efficiently secure your commercial or residential premise, the first line of defence is perimeter protection. This ensures an intruder is detected and the alarm raised before they reach your building. This is particularly effective in protecting commercial yards containing valuable stock and remotely located private homes. During your free site survey, we can advise you on the various ways to ensure your perimeter is secure and protected.


CCTV with Motion Sensors.
- Industry leading Ultra HD 4K CCTV cameras – utilising Starlight technology which provides significantly clearer images in low light
- Monitor intrusions with advanced motion detection technology – sends alarm to users when unwanted movement occurs
- Reduce false alarms – intelligent analysis filters out animals, insects, leaves, rain etc, avoiding unnecessary alerts
Active Deterrence.
Before you are even aware of an intruder, warn them off with active deterrence.
When an intrusion has been detected this automatically activates a bright white light and loud siren. Often this is enough to deter the intruder from continuing to try and breech your perimeter. You will be alerted of the potential intrusion and be able to verify if further action is required by looking at real time images from the CCTV cameras.
