The challenge
Two high-rise blocks with hundreds of residents coming and going at all hours. Communal entrances, lift lobbies, bike stores, bin areas and parking each carried a different risk, and site management had no reliable way to review an incident without calling an engineer out. Any system had to be installed around occupied buildings, with cabling routed through existing risers rather than new external trunking.
The solution
84 cameras covering every entrance, communal corridor, lift lobby and external approach. Cabling was routed through existing risers, and recording was centralised so that site management and the accommodation provider work from one system rather than two.
The outcome
Both towers have been incident-free since handover. The accommodation team now reviews footage directly through the app to resolve access and parking disputes, cutting resolution times from days to minutes.
“The accommodation team can pull up any incident in minutes. The specification was clear from the start and we did not end up paying for cameras we did not need.”
