Amina, a new technology design and development company in Cambridgeshire, let parts of their premises out to other organisations. To ensure a safe and secure environment both for Amina and their tenants, a CCTV monitoring system was required. After evaluating a number of traditional analogue tape-based and digital recording systems, they decided to order a digital CCTV System. Employing no security-specific staff, Amina required a system that would benefit from low maintenance costs and minimal user intervention until incidents needed to be reviewed. The system would be accessed by a 'non-technical' person, therefore the interface had to be easy to understand and simple to use.

The System was installed in a secure area of the building and now records information from six dedicated cameras. Using the in-built camera scheduler, certain cameras can be allocated different recording frame rates, motion detection areas and times when individual cameras are 'live' and recording information to the hard drive system. This also helps to save on hard drive recording space and ensures the client no longer has to run through hours of unnecessary recordings to find the required images.
