ADS Group designs, installs and maintains HD IP CCTV systems for commercial premises across Cork city and county, with remote viewing, defined retention and GDPR-aware configuration. On industrial sites the system usually has to do two different jobs, perimeter overview and identification at specific points, and those are rarely the same camera.
One camera covering a whole yard gives you an event but not a face. A camera at a door at the right height and distance gives you identification but sees nothing else. Trying to get both from one camera produces footage that proves something happened and nothing more, which is the most common complaint about existing systems.
Sodium lighting, bright doorways against dark interiors and reflective surfaces all ruin footage. Camera position has to account for where the light is coming from, which usually means not pointing at it.
Where CCTV covers areas employees work in, there are additional transparency obligations beyond general signage. Purpose, retention and access all need to be defined and communicated, not just configured.
Full detail on the system types, the standards and the certification process is on the CCTV & Video Surveillance page, and everything else we cover in the county is on the Cork page.
An engineer assesses the site, reviews the existing system and its documentation, and returns a written scope of works.
