Security systems in St Albans
We are based at SEG House on Watford Road in Chiswell Green, which makes St Albans the shortest journey we make.
Verkada installation in St Albans
Our own office is in the district, so a survey here is usually within a few days rather than a few weeks, and a callout does not involve a motorway.
We work across the city and the surrounding villages — the schools around Marshalswick and Bernards Heath, the businesses on the Porters Wood and Soothouse Spring estates, the hotels and restaurants around the city centre, and the sites out towards London Colney and Chiswell Green.
St Albans has a particular mix: a lot of independent and voluntary-aided schools, a busy hospitality centre, and conservation-area constraints that affect where equipment can go on a listed or historic frontage. All of which is easier when the surveyor knows the streets.
The sites we are on most
- Schools across the district and the villages around it
- Hotels, restaurants and bars in the city centre
- Business parks at Porters Wood, Soothouse Spring and Chiswell Green
- Listed and conservation-area buildings where fixings and cable routes matter
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
- People, vehicle, motion and licence-plate search from one console

- 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
- Call routing with failover, schedules and automatic messages
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.
- BP41 panel with 32 wired inputs and BK11 or BK21 keypads
