Overview

NSWUK, an SSAIB-registered security systems provider, was tasked with enhancing the security infrastructure for a four-block apartment complex near Huddersfield town centre. The client needed a reliable and comprehensive solution to ensure public safety and improve security monitoring across the site. NSWUK utilised Ubiquiti wireless bridges to connect all four blocks, with the Hikvision CCTV system serving as the primary surveillance technology. The main control equipment was installed in the concierge office, ensuring efficient monitoring and management of the entire site.

The Challenge

The apartment complex consists of four separate blocks, all requiring seamless CCTV coverage and security monitoring. Given the physical distance between the buildings and the absence of existing cabling infrastructure, traditional wired networks were not a viable option. The security solution had to guarantee reliable wireless connectivity without interference, and the surveillance system needed to capture high-quality footage for both public safety and general detection.

Key challenges included:

• Bridging the gap between the four buildings without costly, disruptive wiring.
• Ensuring high-quality video surveillance for comprehensive monitoring.
• Centralising the system in the concierge office for easy access and control.

The NSWUK Solution

After a thorough site assessment, NSWUK selected Ubiquiti wireless bridges to overcome the connectivity issues between the apartment blocks. These bridges create a stable, high-performance wireless link, making it possible to transmit footage from the CCTV cameras without physical cables.

Key elements of the installation:

• Ubiquiti Wireless Bridges: Installed to create a strong and reliable wireless connection between the four blocks, enabling seamless communication between cameras and the central system.
• Hikvision CCTV Cameras: High-resolution Hikvision cameras were deployed across the complex to ensure crystal-clear footage of key public areas, including entrances, exits, walkways, and communal spaces. Hikvision’s advanced video technology provides excellent night vision, motion detection, and real-time monitoring capabilities.
• Centralised Control System: Located in the concierge office, this control hub allows staff to easily monitor live camera feeds and manage the system from a single interface.
• 24/7 Surveillance: The Hikvision cameras, combined with motion detection and analytics, ensure constant surveillance, with automatic alerts in the event of suspicious activity.

Results

Since the installation, the apartment complex has seen a marked improvement in public safety and overall security. The Ubiquiti wireless bridges provide robust connectivity between the blocks, while the Hikvision CCTV cameras offer high-definition video monitoring, ensuring no part of the site is left unmonitored.

Key outcomes include:

• Reliable wireless connectivity between all four apartment blocks, eliminating the need for extensive cabling.
• High-definition CCTV coverage across the entire site, ensuring that all public areas are monitored for both safety and security.
• Centralised management via the concierge office, allowing for swift response to any incidents.
• Enhanced public safety due to the installation of Hikvision’s advanced surveillance system, which offers 24/7 monitoring and reliable intrusion detection.

Conclusion
