For your business

Commercial CCTV installation for businesses across Telford and Shropshire

Commercial CCTV systems specified around your site, what needs covering and what you need the footage to achieve. Archer surveys, specifies, supplies and installs CCTV for businesses across Telford, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Stafford and Wolverhampton.

Specified around your requirements, not a package

The first question is what you need the CCTV system to achieve. Identifying activity at an entrance, monitoring vehicle movements across a yard and covering a loading area are different requirements and can call for different camera positions and system specifications.

We survey the site, discuss the areas that need covering and prepare a specification and bespoke quotation.

Archer supplies and installs the systems it specifies rather than operating as a fitting service for CCTV equipment bought elsewhere.

Commercial CCTV designed around your site

Commercial sites vary considerably, so the right CCTV system depends on the premises, how they are used and the areas that matter to the business.

Depending on the site, that could include coverage of entrances and exits, yards, loading areas, internal working areas or the perimeter of the property.

The underlying cabling and network infrastructure can also be considered as part of the project where required.

Commercial CCTV for different types of premises

Archer works with commercial customers across a range of premises, from individual business sites to larger commercial requirements.

CCTV may form part of the security requirement for offices and commercial premises, industrial and warehousing sites, retail and hospitality environments, schools and other public-sector sites.

The system is specified around the individual site rather than starting with a standard camera package.

CCTV and data protection

Businesses using CCTV need to consider how cameras are positioned and how recorded footage is managed.

These considerations should form part of planning a commercial CCTV system, particularly where cameras may capture areas beyond the business's own premises.

Servicing and maintenance

A CCTV system also needs to remain operational after installation. Archer provides servicing and maintenance for electronic security systems and can also take on suitable CCTV systems originally installed by another company.

Commercial CCTV FAQs

Do you work outside Shropshire?

Yes. Telford, Shrewsbury and the wider Shropshire area are at the centre of our service area, alongside Stafford and Wolverhampton. For larger commercial projects, we can travel further.

Can you take on CCTV another company installed?

Yes, Archer can service and maintain suitable existing CCTV systems, including systems originally installed by another company.

How long should a business keep CCTV footage?

There isn't a single retention period that is right for every business or CCTV system. How footage is retained needs to reflect the purpose for which the CCTV is being used and the organisation's data-protection responsibilities.

Can you install CCTV cameras we've already bought?

Archer's approach is to understand the requirement, specify the appropriate system, and then supply and install that system. We don't operate as a labour-only installation service for customer-supplied CCTV equipment.

If you already have an existing CCTV system that needs servicing or assessing, speak to Archer about the system you have.
