Initial Consultation
The assessor will begin by discussing your specific security needs and objectives. They'll ask about any particular concerns you have, areas you want to monitor, and the primary purpose of the CCTV system (e.g., deterring theft, monitoring employee safety, etc.).
Comprehensive Site Survey
The assessor will conduct a detailed walkthrough of your premises, paying close attention to:
- Entry and exit points
- Perimeters (fences, walls, etc.)
- Critical assets (e.g., safes, server rooms)
- Areas with frequent human traffic (e.g., hallways, reception areas)
They'll also evaluate:
- Lighting conditions throughout the day and night
- Potential obstructions that could affect camera views
- Weather conditions for outdoor camera placement
Technical Evaluation
The assessor will examine your existing infrastructure, including:
- Network capabilities and bandwidth

They'll consider factors like cable routing, network integration, and the feasibility of wireless options if applicable.
Security Risk Assessment
They'll recommend strategic camera placements to maximize coverage and minimize weak points.
Equipment Recommendations
Based on their findings, the assessor will suggest appropriate camera types, resolutions, and features to meet your specific needs. They may also recommend complementary security measures if necessary.
Documentation and Proposal
Following the assessment, you'll receive a detailed report outlining:
- Proposed camera locations and types
- Network infrastructure requirements

Q&A Session
The assessor will take time to answer any questions you have about the proposed system, installation process, or ongoing maintenance requirements. By working with a specialized assessor, you ensure that your CCTV system is tailored to your specific needs, optimally designed for your premises, and compliant with relevant regulations. This thorough approach helps maximize the effectiveness and longevity of your security investment.
