The application and integration of closed-circuit television(CCTV) has come of age. CCTV can be a reliable, cost effective deterrent and a means for apprehending and prosecuting offenders. We say "can be", because when it is installed and commissioned by engineers that have no training or experience, a CCTV system will prove to be nothing more than a waste of money. A properly designed and applied CCTV system can, on the other hand, emerge as an effective training tool for managers and security personnel as the use of CCTV has been known to improve employee efficiency and increase productivity.
At Prosatellite we are perfectly aware that in order to justify expenditures on security and safety equipment, an organisation must expect a positive return on investment; that is the value of assets protected must be greater than the amount spent on security, and a security system must adequately protect personnel and visitors. An effective security system, Prosatellite Security System, reduces theft, saves money and saves lives.
A successful security installation must include the use of a knowledgeable security dealer who understands the customer’s security problems and the current technology available. The system requirements, design and installation should be a joint effort between the requirements of the management/security staff and the capabilities of the security company.
CCTV equipment is complex and requires the use of quality hardware and professional service and maintenance to produce continuous 24-hour-a-day, 365-days-a-year operation. It must be installed reliably and the dealer must provide prompt response time to an emergency requirement. We, at Prosatellite, through years of successful trading, understand that the real key is that we must stand behind our products and have a high commitment to service.
Loss of assets and time due to theft is a growing cancer on our society that eats away at the profits of every organisation or business, be it government, retail, service or manufacturing.
The size of the organisation makes no difference to the thief. The larger the company, the more theft occurs, and the greater the opportunity for losses. The more valuable the product, the easier it is for a thief to dispose of it, and thus the greater the temptation is to steal it.
The main objective of the CCTV system should be not the apprehension of thieves but rather increased deterrence through security. A successful thief needs privacy; a CCTV system can deny that privacy.

As security systems become more complex and necessary, CCTV access control and electronic access control equipments are being combined to work synergistically with each other.
For medium to low level access control security requirements, electronic card reading systems can be adequate after a person has first been identified at some exterior perimeter location. For higher security, biometric descriptors of a person and/or CCTV identification might prove necessary.
Call us and use our expertise even if you are only looking for advice, as you will find out that competent planning and implementation will greatly reduce not only costs but also headaches.
