As a business owner, the safety and security of your premises and assets is a top priority.
At MES Systems, we offer a range of CCTV (VSS) surveillance solutions to help you protect your site and optimise operations. A CCTV system offers peace of mind, but it may also be required by your insurance provider, so we recommend checking the requirements with your insurer.
Our advanced CCTV (VSS) systems allow you to monitor activity in your premises in real-time, giving you the ability to detect and respond to potential threats. Our cameras provide clear and detailed footage, making it easier to identify individuals and track activity.
In addition to security, CCTV (VSS) is now being used for many different purposes. Organisations are using CCTV (VSS) to manage health & safety, control vehicle access to their site with ANPR cameras, prevent fires by using thermal cameras to detect hotspots in car storage facilities or waste management sites, improve operations and optimise efficiency. By monitoring employee activity, you can identify areas for improvement and make necessary changes to streamline processes.
We can design, install, and SSAIB certify the very latest Intelligent systems with vehicle and human recognition, sending notifications to you or to a monitoring station when required. Our systems will stop intruders in their tracks by challenging them audibly over a tannoy and calling the police or security guards if they don’t leave immediately.

Help & Advice
Why is CCTV (VSS) important for business security?
Why is CCTV (VSS) important for business security?
CCTV (VSS) helps protect your property, people and assets by monitoring both indoor and outdoor areas, helping to detect suspicious activity and respond to potential threats.
Visible CCTV cameras can also act as an effective deterrent to opportunistic crime by making it clear that an area is being monitored. If an incident does occur, recorded footage can provide valuable evidence for investigations, insurance claims and criminal proceedings.

What is the difference between IP and analogue HD CCTV?
Analogue HD CCTV cameras transmit video back to a Digital Video Recorder (DVR), while IP cameras connect over a network and normally record to a Network Video Recorder (NVR).
IP CCTV generally offers greater flexibility and access to more advanced features and integrations, while analogue HD can still be a cost-effective option, particularly when upgrading an existing system.

How long is CCTV footage normally stored?
