CCTV systems for the public sector

Surveillance equipment for education, government and healthcare

We’ve been installing CCTV systems in schools, colleges, local government and healthcare premises across the south of England for many years, helping them to protect visitors, staff and property.

Our qualified CCTV installers work with you to understand the individual needs of your organisation to develop a customised CCTV system which can be integrated with other parts of your fire or security system.

Professionally-installed CCTV cameras ensure peace of mind

Security is not just a problem out of hours – many public sector buildings are in use around the clock. To protect staff, patients, students, visitors and property from criminal intent, a professionally installed CCTV system can provide peace of mind, and can improve your legal position in the event of a claim.

Chris Lewis Fire & Security has been installing customised, high-quality CCTV systems, control rooms, and remote monitoring equipment for many years, and has worked with several leading education and government organisations.

CCTV in schools, colleges and universities

CCTV is widespread in schools, colleges and university campuses these days. It can be effective as a deterrent against bullying, vandalism and theft, as well as monitoring and recording visitors to the premises around the clock to ensure the safety of individuals. We can recommend and fit the best system for you from a range of CCTV manufacturers - from full IP CCTV systems, to adapting traditional analogue systems with remote, out-of-hours monitoring.

CCTV in care homes, surgeries, medial centres and hospitals

It’s important that your patients and staff feel safe, whether they’re just visiting, or are longer-term residents. Surgeries, hospitals and medical centres can be the target of drug thefts, and by their nature, welcome visitors throughout the day. CCTV cameras can help to reassure vulnerabe patients and staff that proper care is being taken to protect them from unwanted or unauthorised visitors, and can be vital as evidence in the prosecution of an intruder.
