Advanced security solutions for prisons

Maximising prison security requires advanced solutions that integrate internal surveillance, perimeter security, and access control seamlessly.

These sophisticated systems are designed to monitor your site continuously, allowing for immediate responses to any potential breaches or disturbances within the facility.

Violence between inmates, aggressive behaviour towards guards, and drug dealers using drones to drop off packages over prison walls are regular occurrences.

As a result, partnering with an experienced security company is key to meeting your needs and requirements.

External CCTV cameras

Robust external CCTV cameras provide prisons with the ability to monitor perimeter and outdoor common areas. 

These high-resolution cameras are crucial for maintaining visibility around the clock.

As a result, these cameras act as a deterrent to potential external threats and ensure site perimeters are guarded 24/7.

From PTZ devices, all the way through to long-range thermal and bullet cameras, our system designers will deliver on your requirements.

Internal surveillance cameras

Internal surveillance systems within prison walls are paramount for monitoring inmate activity, preventing contraband circulation, and violence, and ensuring the safety of both staff and inmates.

This 24/7 surveillance capability is essential for maintaining order and responding quickly to incidents. 

Where threats turn into live security events, the footage gained is crucial in remedying the situation.

Dome, fisheye, and anti-ligature cameras are key ingredients of a well-designed internal surveillance solution.

Prison CCTV

Prisons require constant monitoring to ensure the safety of both inmates and staff.

CCTV surveillance for prisons offers round-the-clock coverage, detecting and deterring threats such as escapes, violence, and unauthorised access.

With security cameras in key areas like cell blocks, corridors, and external perimeters, potential risks are quickly identified and managed.

CCTV monitoring provides a cost-effective solution for maintaining high-level security without relying heavily on guards, ensuring a safer environment inside and outside prison facilities.

Access control & lockdown solutions

Controlled internal access solutions are vital for navigating the complex requirements of a prison security system.

These systems ensure that only authorised personnel can access secure areas, thus managing internal movements effectively and preventing unauthorised entry.

Intercoms, facial recognition solutions, fob access, and lockdown systems, form part of an integrated approach to access control within a prison.

As a result, these solutions protect guards, staff and visitors from a range of threats.

Perimeter security & alarms

Perimeter security and advanced threat detection systems form the first line of defense in prison security.

Employing the latest technologies, these systems detect any unauthorised approach or breach attempts, enabling rapid deployment of security measures to neutralize threats.

ANPR, thermal cameras, AI-driven video analytics, and long-range bullet cameras are the backbone of a robust perimeter protection system.

Furthermore, monitored alarms fitted with beams and motion sensors are deployed to detect and deter intruders and those looking to breach the prison’s perimeter

Fabulous company, very dedicated and knowledgeable staff throughout. The engineer who was managing our security upgrade across our Multi Academy Trust, Daniel Thurston, worked extremely hard. He was trustworthy, knowledgeable, polite and his willingness to support the integration and training of staff was impressive. I felt he left the job giving staff multi skills to self manage the system and any errors which may occur. Overall I have been extremely happy with the service provided.

We are very pleased with our security system and door entry system. Dan has done a marvellous job, explained everything clearly and patiently and he was very clean and tidy. Despite the amount of work and time needed Dan did not impact on the household routine.
