Persistent attempts to break into a much used and valued social club, as well several incidents of damage to the wall of the car park, has left members of Nork Park Social Club in Banstead, frustrated and out of pocket.
With all the incidents occurring under cover of darkness, the original CCTV system was proving inadequate. It didn’t cover all the required areas of the premises and surrounding land and it wasn’t providing images of sufficient quality to read car number plates or help identify the perpetrators.
When the committee agreed it would be more cost-effective to upgrade the system, than to keep spending money on costly repairs, they turned to one of their members, Tony Cable – former events and marketing engineer with NICEIC and ELECSA – for advice on the best equipment to go for on their budget.
He recommended ESP and after a consultation about the requirements, they were advised to install the HDView Sixteen Channel Full HD 2TB DVR, and to replace the poor quality cameras with new ones and at the same time to increase the number of cameras from 6 to 10 to maximise coverage of the entire premises and surrounding grounds and car park.
The HDView Sixteen Channel Full HD DVR is a high definition digital video Recorder that provides superior quality live images and recorded footage, which is essential for any CCTV system installation. It is networkable for remote viewing from a PC or Smartphone or tablet – a great feature which allows the club to keep round the clock surveillance on the premises.
The six new bullet cameras installed outside are 3.6mm fixed lens cameras with high definition 2MP AHD sensors and Built in 20m Infrared LED Illumination. The housings are IP66 rated for weather protection. Four dome cameras have been positioned inside the club house. The white cameras feature 3.6mm Fixed Lens, HD 2MP AHD sensors, with built in 10m infrared LED illumination.
Another of the club members – NICEIC Approved Contractor, Glen Dunkin – has undertaken a number of jobs for the club and was on hand once more to carry out the full installation and commented:
“I have installed CCTV systems before but this was by far the easiest system to work with and set up, the pictures were very clear and of excellent quality. Installing the HDView system was really straightforward and because we had use of one of ESP’s LED CCTV monitors, it made the whole task much simpler. It meant I could set up each camera as I installed them thus saving a lot of setting up time. The quality of images and footage is amazing and we now have all the areas we need covered. Because the system can be remotely accessed and viewed, it provides peace of mind that everything possible has been done to maximise the protection of the club premises and should certainly anyone thinking of targeting us in the future.”
