Our CCTV Design and Installation Process

At APS Security, we believe that effective surveillance begins with a carefully structured and expertly executed process. Our CCTV design and installation service is built to deliver customised security solutions that suit the unique characteristics of your premises. From initial consultation through to final implementation, we manage every step to ensure your system is not only functional but strategically designed for long-term protection and performance.


Comprehensive Site Assessment and Custom System Design

Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your site. A member of our experienced team will visit your property to evaluate the physical layout, identify areas of vulnerability, and understand how people and assets move throughout the space. We take into account specific operational needs, lighting conditions at different times of day, and existing security measures in place. Using this information, we create a bespoke CCTV system design that maximises visibility and ensures no critical area is left uncovered. This design is tailored to your environment, whether you’re securing a warehouse, office, retail space, or multi-building facility.


Selection of High-Quality CCTV Equipment

Once the system design is approved, we move on to equipment selection. We use only commercial-grade CCTV technology that delivers reliable, high-definition footage in all conditions. Our systems include a variety of camera types to match the unique demands of your site, including fixed-position cameras for constant monitoring, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) units for large-area coverage, and infrared-enabled cameras that provide visibility even in low-light or no-light settings. Each piece of equipment is chosen to deliver performance, clarity, and durability, ensuring your surveillance system can adapt to changing needs.

Strategic Camera Placement for Full Coverage

The success of any CCTV system lies not just in the quality of the equipment, but in where and how it’s installed. Our installation team develops a comprehensive plan for camera placement that considers the flow of foot traffic, key entry and exit points, sensitive zones such as stock areas or server rooms, and external perimeters. Each camera is positioned to capture maximum visibility with minimal obstruction, ensuring your system delivers effective coverage across both indoor and outdoor environments. Our approach ensures no area is left vulnerable and that recorded footage is clear, comprehensive, and useful in the event of an incident.


Seamless Integration with Existing Security Systems

Modern businesses often rely on a combination of security technologies. That’s why our CCTV systems are designed for seamless integration with your existing infrastructure. Whether you already have intruder alarms, access control systems, or fire detection solutions in place, we ensure your CCTV system communicates efficiently with them. This integrated setup improves response times, simplifies monitoring, and enhances overall situational awareness across your entire security network. With all systems working together, managing and maintaining site security becomes more streamlined and effective.


Professional CCTV Installation and Commissioning

Following design and planning, our certified engineers carry out the full installation. This includes running cabling, mounting cameras, configuring software, and integrating recording and alert systems. We take great care to ensure that every element of the system is installed to the highest standards, with thorough testing conducted at every stage. Once installation is complete, we walk you through how to operate the system, access live and recorded footage, and respond to alerts. Our team remains available after installation for adjustments, support, and training—ensuring your CCTV system delivers value from day one.


At APS, our commitment doesn’t end once the cameras are up and running. We offer ongoing support and optional maintenance services to keep your system in top condition. If you’re looking to ensure long-term reliability and regulatory compliance, be sure to learn more about our CCTV Maintenance Plans, designed to provide routine inspections, software updates, and on-demand repairs.

    We have just transferred all of our security management to APS and from the outset the service has been exemplary. Over the past week or so we have had engineers on site who have been so professional in the mammoth task that they have had to carry out. A big thank you to Ash, Jenny and the team at HQ, who have answered queries really quickly. Also a big thank you to Martin (CCTV & Intruder engineer) & Jordan(Fire Safety engineer) for being so accommodating to our needs whilst on site.

    Erewash Indoor Bowling Centre

    Very pleased with the quality of work & standard of service we are getting from APS. Everyone we have come into contact with, from sales & admin, through to the tech & service teams have been helpful & friendly. We first came into contact with APS when they took over the monitoring & maintenance of our alarm systems. Soon after we started taking to them about CCTV and it wasn't long before they installed us a new 4 camera system. To complete the circle, they have just completed work on a new, very easy to use, door entry system.

    Adam – Housing Association

    APS have completed a number of CCTV, alarm and personal protection systems for our organisation, and we have always found the company to be flexible, efficient, and very easy to deal with. The team is friendly, accessible, and knowledgeable. Their prices are very competitive too!

    Hilton Parish Council

    We chose APS after a Tender Process. The service that we received from start to finish during the tender process and installation was fantastic. All of their staff are polite, efficient and professional, nothing is too much trouble. The installation engineer who attended our site was helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. He was also very clean and tidy and cleaned up as he went around, we hardly knew he was there. Brilliant, fantastic service.

    The Printers

    We had been with Chubb for over thirty year but their service became so bad so we sought three quotes for a new system. APS were very slightly more costly than the other quotes BUT were far superior in their presentation. Chris Bee, their rep, was exceptionally helpful - had all the right advice and offered very good suggestions. We needed a fast installation as Chubb had let us down and APS had the new system in an working within three days. Their installation engineers were also very helpful and took care with the work - one guy took a hoover around cleaning up as they worked in each area. Try phoning their office - the Ladies who answer the phone are cheerful, friendly and know their jobs All in all - a very professional and caring service - I would give them more than a "five" Kevin
