Security systems in Hertfordshire
The county we work in most, from Watford across to Hertford and up to Stevenage.
Verkada installation in Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire is our home county and the majority of our school work is here. We cover Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Harpenden, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield, Stevenage, Hertford, Ware, Rickmansworth, Berkhamsted, Tring and the towns between them.
The county has a high concentration of academies and multi-academy trusts, a large independent sector, and a great deal of commercial property along the A1(M) and M25 corridors. It also has a lot of ageing CCTV installed in the 2010s that is now beyond support.
Being a Hertfordshire contractor means a survey is a morning rather than a day, and a return visit is not a negotiation.
The sites we are on most
- Academies and multi-academy trusts across the county
- Independent schools, including boarding
- Commercial and industrial sites on the A1(M) and M25 corridors
- Hotels, venues and visitor attractions
The same six systems, specified for the site
Cameras
Recording on the camera, managed in the browser. No NVR in a cupboard to fail, be stolen or be forgotten.

- Dome, bullet, mini, fisheye, multisensor, PTZ and LTE remote models

- Cards, fobs, PIN, mobile credentials and Apple Wallet
- Emergency Scenarios: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, Shelter

- Answered on a desk station, a phone, a browser or through Microsoft Teams

Guest and visitor management
Knowing who is in the building — which is a safeguarding answer and a fire roll-call answer at once.
- Sign-in on an iPad with photo, badge printing and host notification
- Screening questions and watch lists before a visitor is admitted
- A live list of who is on site, exportable at the assembly point
Environmental sensors
The places a camera must never go — toilets, changing rooms, boarding corridors.
- SV21, SV23 and SV25 — vape index, air quality, noise, occupancy, temperature
- No camera, no microphone recording, no images
- Alerts to named staff when the vape index rises
Alarms
Intruder detection where an activation arrives with the footage that caused it.
