Frequently Asked Questions
Internet Protocol (IP) CCTV cameras transmit digital images through a secure internet connection, negating the need for a wired connection. This allows you to place IP cameras in more remote locations and access them through a smartphone or tablet.
Once the CCTV is installed, it’ll be entirely up to you when they’ll be active. Of course, if you want full protection you’ll want to have the cameras running 24/7, particularly when the business is closed. However, if you want to save money on your energy bills, you don’t need the CCTV in operation all of the time.
Can CCTV Cameras Record Sound?
Not all cameras are designed to record sound, however, many will have audio capabilities. While it’s up to the business owner if they wish to record audio or not, they are required to inform staff and customers that they are being recorded.
Yes. You’re required by law to inform anyone on your premises that they are being filmed.
Can CCTV Systems be Hacked?
A self-installed alarm and CCTV system can easily be hacked remotely, as most cameras are linked to your internet’s IP address. However, if you opt to go through CCTV installation companies like Target Security Group, you’re paying for a secure network that is monitored for cyber threats – so the risk of hacking is largely reduced.
Where is My CCTV Footage Stored?
All footage captured is stored on-site, allowing you to access it whenever you need to. Equally, you have the option of having remote mobile connectivity, allowing you to view live feeds from your CCTV system.
Do CCTV Cameras Work in the Dark?
Not all of them. Only infrared and night-vision cameras are designed to operate in low-light conditions.
Who Owns the CCTV Footage?
If you record CCTV on your business premises, all the footage is owned by you, assuming that it complies with government guidelines. Most of Target Security Group-monitored CCTV systems will store footage on-site, where you can easily view and download it where required. While more advanced options will give us access to your footage in order to provide a more robust security measure, you are still the legal owner of the footage.
Who Watches Your CCTV Cameras?
On more traditional models the footage is stored remotely, allowing the owner and whoever he/ she wishes to review it at their discretion. With Target Security Group Visual Analytics, intelligent algorithms monitor your feeds in order to spot threats before they occur. Once something is spotted, a member of our Control and Command Centre team is alerted, allowing them to view the footage and take appropriate action.
Can CCTV be Used as Evidence in Court?
Yes. If your business is the victim of a crime, you can use your CCTV system as evidence in court. However, there are strict guidelines on what your cameras are and aren’t allowed to film, such as other people’s property. Target Security Group’s trained installation team will talk you through the best locations for cameras in your business to comply with these guidelines.
To help you build a case in the event of a crime, Target Security Group Intelligence Service has a dedicated team of Police Liaison Officers, many of whom are ex-police force themselves. Our staff use their expertise to build criminal profiles and develop 5x5x5 intelligence reports, which are handed directly to the police to help issue banning orders or bring criminals to justice
Can I Use CCTV to Monitor my staff?
Yes. CCTV can be a good incentive to keep staff busy while on the job, as well as ensure their safety and deter potential theft. However, you must ensure that they are aware of where they are and aren’t being filmed. Moreover, there are very specific places where you cannot monitor your staff, such as in the toilet or during union meetings. All instances of recording are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Our prices depend entirely on the level of protection you require; the basic, CCTV system with 24/7 monitoring starts from £695, while some advanced features cost more.
Are CCTV Systems Actually Effective?
Of course. There have been plenty of studies into the effect of CCTV systems on deterring crime, and both government bodies like the Surveillance Camera Commission and independent groups such as the Cambell Collaboration agree that there is a definitive link.
Can I Use my CCTV Cameras to Collect Customer Shopping Information?
Yes, depending on the model of your camera and the software platform installed we can provide management information such as people counting, heat mapping of areas of interest, customer flow data, facial and gender data, dwell times for key areas, and service cue times.
Can I Integrate my tills into my CCTV system?
Yes, it is possible to record your EPOS (electronic point of sale) till transactions alongside your CCTV footage to provide searchable video evidence of till transactions
Can I monitor and record vehicle number plates?
Yes, depending on the type of cameras and recorder it is possible to record and manage vehicles, and create live alerts of known “vehicles of interest”.
Can my CCTV system alert me if it detects something unusual?
Using artificial intelligence and deep learning video recorders or software it is possible for your CCTV system to provide live alerts of abnormal behaviour vs normal behavior, allowing you to better utilize your security personnel more effectively by focusing attention on abnormal events.
Will my CCTV cameras provide Face Recognition?
Your CCTV system can be used to detect “persons of interest” and provide local live alerts, remote alerts to our monitoring centre, it can also be integrated with the access control system to open or lock doors.
Can I record my CCTV video to the Cloud?
Yes, depending on the camera and equipment you have it is possible to record your CCTV video to a secure Cloud Service, providing both live and historical video, remotely accessed from a PC or mobile device, the service can also be used to backup important video, providing video evidence should the on-site video recorder be lost, stolen or damaged.
