A modern CCTV system uses IP cameras connected over your network to a network video recorder, which stores footage and makes it available for live and recorded viewing. Seamless Systems supplies and installs Hikvision and Uniview (UNV) camera systems, and because we also look after networks, connectivity and security, your cameras are planned as part of your wider IT rather than as a separate box on the wall.

A CLOSER LOOK
See what matters, when it matters.
Hikvision camera systems
Hikvision offers a broad range of IP bullet, dome and turret cameras with recorders to match. Depending on the model, features can include high-resolution imaging, low-light colour (ColorVu), smart detection that tells people and vehicles apart (AcuSense) and remote viewing through the Hik-Connect app. We select models to suit each area rather than assuming every camera needs every feature.
Uniview (UNV) camera systems
Uniview (UNV) provides IP cameras, NVRs and management software for business installations. Available features vary by model and can include low-light imaging, smart intrusion and line-crossing detection, and mobile viewing through the EZView app. UNV is a cost-effective option for sites that need reliable coverage across several cameras.
Recording, network & power
Camera placement, storage and network design matter as much as the cameras. Recording retention depends on the number of cameras, resolution and recording mode, which sets the hard drive capacity required. Power over Ethernet switches can power cameras through their network cable, and a UPS or backup power keeps recording during outages. Remote access should be configured securely, with updated firmware and strong passwords.
GOOD TO KNOW
Your questions, answered.
Tell us how many areas you need covered, indoor or outdoor, any existing cameras and how long you would like footage kept.
Yes. Supported Hikvision and UNV systems can be viewed through their mobile apps once remote access is set up. Viewing quality depends on the internet connection at the site and on the device being used.
How long is footage kept?
Retention depends on the number of cameras, resolution, recording mode (continuous or motion-based) and the storage installed in the recorder. We size the storage around how many days of footage you would like to keep.
Can you work with an existing CCTV system?
Often, yes. Compatibility depends on the existing cameras and recorder. We can assess what you have and advise whether to extend, upgrade or replace it.
