First Security installs CCTV surveillance and IP monitoring system at new London office development 
(29/11/2006)
First Security’s Specialist Services Division has completed the installation of a sophisticated CCTV surveillance and IP monitoring system at the new office development near Canon Street and Monument, 12 Arthur Street.
In addition to the manned security provided by First Security 24/7, 365 days per year, the Specialist Services business designed and installed a CCTV solution comprising 16 CCTV cameras, a mixture of static and Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ), including a number with day/night capability thus ensuring that all angles of the building are covered at all times.
The CCTV is run over IP, transmitting video to the main reception, where it is monitored by the duty First Security officers, and also to the office of the Building Manager, Dave Fanshawe.
The decision to choose First Specialist Services was straightforward, as Dave explains: “First Security has always supplied manned guarding for the building and I have always been pleased with the service received. Given that the building is state-of-the-art, with high profile tenants, it was decided that the site needed a more comprehensive electronic security solution.
“When the decision was made to expand the existing security measures to include a monitored CCTV system, I recommended First as they have always been highly professional in what they do. First were subsequently invited to tender for the project and won.”
The new building spans 11 floors with a total area of just over 100,000 sq ft. The offices are multi-tenanted, and being in the heart of the city, are home to various insurance, financial and legal firms, including recognised names such as Prudential, Moody’s KMV, and the Morse Group.
