Improving internal surveillance for a manufacturing plant
A busy manufacturing facility needed to strengthen internal security without interrupting day-to-day operations.
The management team wanted better visibility inside key working areas and a reliable way to monitor staff activity and protect against internal risks.
- Keep an eye on production zones and internal movements
- Capture footage to review staff behaviour if needed
- Deter internal theft or unauthorised access
- Support health and safety compliance monitoring
- Provide peace of mind for site supervisors
With the key objectives confirmed, we booked a full assessment of the premises.
Evaluating the risks to site security
An experienced security specialist visited the site to review the layout and working routines.
We discussed staff numbers, shift patterns and operational risks to design a practical internal monitoring setup.
- Several high-value areas needed live and recorded coverage
- Managers wanted visibility into staff movements during shifts
- Access to certain production zones had no oversight
- Recorded footage was needed for compliance and investigation
- There were no existing internal cameras in place
These findings shaped the approach and helped prioritise coverage zones.
Read on to learn about our recommended approach.
The recommended surveillance camera system
We proposed a targeted IP camera system using turret-style devices designed for indoor environments.
The goal was to secure internal spaces without leaving blind spots so office operations could be monitored.
- Security cameras are positioned in key working areas to monitor staff
- Commercial-grade surveillance cameras for reliability and clarity
- Footage recorded and reviewed internally – no off-site monitoring needed
- IP-based setup to avoid disruption or extra cabling
- Live monitoring capability for management and supervisors
This setup would allow managers to monitor the facility in real time and review past events with ease.
Installing & commissioning the system
In summary, the installation was planned to avoid any downtime during working hours.
The system now operates 24/7 and blends into the site layout without interfering with operations.
- Internal turret-style Hikvision cameras installed across the site
- IP network CCTV system to run over the existing infrastructure
- Local NVR for secure and easy access to recordings
- Discreet camera placement to monitor staff activity unobtrusively
- Fully installed without interrupting shifts or production timelines
The system now gives site management clear visibility across key operations.
All in all, it also provides reliable footage and real-time access when required.
