Commercial Industries We Supply

Commercial sectors we specialise in providing CCTV solutions for

We’ve successfully installed thousands of commercial CCTV systems for businesses across the UK. No two businesses are the same, which is why we take a tailored approach to every project. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we work closely with each client to design and install a CCTV system that meets their unique operational needs, site layout, and security concerns.

Whether you operate a busy warehouse, a retail outlet, a school, or an office complex, our bespoke surveillance solutions ensure you’re getting the coverage, clarity, and features your business requires. From initial consultation to final installation and beyond, our goal is always the same: to deliver a commercial CCTV system that’s built specifically to protect your premises, people, and property.

Warehouse & distribution cCTV

CCTV is able to offer so much more than providing security to a premises, with well-positioned cameras, they will provide coverage to prevent unnecessary Health and Safety claims, the tracking or locating of stock which has been misplaced, potentially saving thousands of pounds.

Manufacturing & Factory CCTV

CCTV can be introduced on any factory or production area in key locations or problematic areas. They will dramatically reduce lost production time by alerting the operatives of potential issues that could cause major disruption to a companies output.

Petrol Station CCTV

Petrol stations are busy, high-risk areas and so need the latest in CCTV technology to make sure they are monitored closely and provide 24\7 surveillance. The rise of unmanned petrol stations in the UK has further increased the need for the very best in security and surveillance at petrol forecourts.

Retail CCTV

Whether a large retail store, restaurant or small shop, CCTV will provide additional security as well as clear evidence. It can be placed in areas where money is exchanged or vulnerable areas in and around a premises allowing you to have "eyes in the back of your head".

Hotel CCTV

Hotels are high footfall areas with people moving in and out of the hotel all day, CCTV allows for both the inside and outside of the hotel to be monitored 24\7 and help deter crime and theft from the hotel premises. CCTV can also provide images of any other events that may occur.

self storage CCTV

We understand the security needs of self-storage facilities when supplying and installing a CCTV system to make sure the facilities get the right CCTV system and cameras to provide full, clear coverage of the storage site which can easily be monitored remotely by both employees or a central control room.

office CCTV

By utilising state-of-the-art technology, our office CCTV systems deliver real-time monitoring, enabling swift response to potential security threats. Our customisable packages cater to diverse business requirements, from small offices to large corporations. Trust Active CCTV to keep your premises under constant watch.

Caravan & Holiday Park CCTV

CCTV can play a crucial role at caravan and holiday parks in monitoring large busy areas. A CCTV system will not only help deter crime but will also offer a transparent log of any crime or accidents that may occur on-site.

School CCTV

Active CCTV prides itself on providing advanced School CCTV Systems, tailored to meet the unique security requirements of educational institutions across the UK. Our solutions utilise industry-leading commercial CCTV technology to deliver comprehensive surveillance,

Car Park CCTV

Car parks are frequent targets for theft, vandalism, and disputes, making reliable CCTV surveillance essential. With high traffic volume and limited on-site staff, 24/7 monitoring ensures the safety of both vehicles and visitors. Advanced car park CCTV systems help deter criminal activity, resolve incidents, and improve customer confidence in your facility.

Solar Farm CCTV

Solar farms are often located in remote areas and house high-value equipment, making them vulnerable to theft and vandalism. A robust solar farm CCTV system provides round-the-clock surveillance and remote access, allowing operators to monitor activity, ensure safety compliance, and protect assets from costly disruptions.

Waste Management CCTV

Waste management sites handle valuable materials and heavy machinery, often across large, complex environments. CCTV systems for waste facilities provide essential security coverage, deter illegal dumping, and support compliance with environmental and health and safety regulations through continuous monitoring and evidence collection.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simon and Drew from Active CCTV installed the CCTV system for my drive-up self storage site in Eastleigh - easyStorage - and they did a fantastic job! The layout of my site was slightly different to what they were expecting, but they worked on the fly with Andy and Adrian (remotely) to make sure my site had the coverage it needs to be secure. Everything looks extremely neat & tidy & safe and they made sure that I was all set up with what I needed to be able to monitor my site remotely. They even kindly installed a few signs for me with their tools, which they didn't have to do - excellent customer service! Very professional and great communication from all of the team at Active CCTV.
