  • Longevity and Equipment Maintenance
  • Over time, dust and debris on the lens can infiltrate the camera internals, potentially causing damage. 
  • Cleaning the security camera lens reduces the risk of contaminants affecting the camera's sensitive components, including the sensor.
  • Spider, birds and natural interference.




Vandalism inspection

  • All stored recordings can be accessed, transferred and played back immediately and without issues.
  • Power cut
  • Lens broken or ink/paint vandalism  

General inspection

  • The cameras have adequate view of the key areas they are monitoring.
  • If any areas have since been obscured by foliage, for example, that this is assessed and recommendations made to clear the area as soon as possible.
  • Tree trimming 
    Any related motion detection setup is functioning and firing as anticipated.
  • If the cameras are controlled remotely, we’ll ensure the PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) is functioning as intended and in real time.

L.E.D. Street Lighting

This is a popular area within our portfolio and with our knowledge of the industry we have been working with housing associations and landlords to provide new cost effective lighting to replace timed and inefficient lighting.

Our designs include proposals of where lighting should be provided, at what levels and which styles of lighting columns and lanterns best serve to integrate into key street scenes and conservation areas.

We make recommendations for the control of lighting and reduction or elimination of obtrusive light and we maintain cost-efficient regimes.

Environmental

The need for appropriate lighting, providing the correct levels of illuminations whilst remaining environmentally aware, has become extremely significant and we strictly adhere to incorporating this into our business policy.

When designing lighting we take into consideration optimisation, energy efficiency and product life cycle analysis. We consider the use of sustainable materials, light pollution and the needs of local people.

Our innovative technical and operational solutions also recognise people’s growing concerns with environmental issues and energy costs.

Why Do You Need lens cleaning Maintenance?

Without routine, preventative maintenance, your CCTV system is far more likely to develop faults or, worse still, fail completely. If CCTV monitors are not manned you may even be unaware a problem exists until the time evidence is required from the cameras.

If you’re aware the CCTV system is not functioning correctly you’re left to rely solely on the visual deterrent effect of CCTV but, without being able to access or use crucial CCTV footage when you need it as evidence.

The risk of any business premises being breached, vandalised and assets stolen is high enough as it is, but without routine checks and a maintenance service for your CCTV system the costs associated with this are potentially huge, and will always be more the cost of CCTV maintenance itself.

Diminished fixtures first

This evaluation should cover the entirety of your lighting system. An annual evaluation, regardless of the type of system or fixtures you have in place, will help you to spot any areas that may not be performing at full capacity. 

It also helps you identify areas that could be improved upon in terms of efficiencies such as an area that would benefit from installing daylight level sensors or diffusers to the fixture for a softer illumination. 

An evaluation should encompass all aspects related to lighting from whether or not a different colour temperature would improve work productivity in a particular area to dealing with fluorescent fixtures that are flickering too much.

Perform group relamping.

If a bulb burns out, you naturally replace it. This creates a cycle of lighting maintenance that is scattered and seemingly unpredictable. 

Many large scale and even some smaller operations do what is called group relamping. For example, if you know a bulb will last for an estimated number of hours, you can set up a schedule that means all the lamps in an area should expire around the same time. 

If your lamps have an average life rating of 4,000 hours and your business operates them 2,000 hours a year, then you will need to relamp every two years. This will also help you determine a cleaning schedule since cleaning and relamping should be done at the same time to create minimal disturbances to the fixture.
