I C 2

Our solutions and CCTV installation services provide safeguarding and support the duty of care in education, and protect the high value items of international luxury boutique businesses in London as well as around the UK. We help ensure security at prestige buildings and hospitality venues and the safety of fans for one of the world's biggest sporting brands. But there's more to us than this. It's more than what we did yesterday. It's also about what we'll do today and tomorrow to provide our clients with operational support and maintenance services to minimise risk in today's agile threat environment.

The business is owned and managed by a team with a collective experience of over 100 years in the electronic security business. Whether the requirement is solely for CCTV, or for a new or upgraded fully integrated system, iC2 provides consultancy led services to specify, supply, install and support a full range of integrated electronic security solutions. This includes HD CCTV, Wireless CCTV, ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), Remote Monitoring, Access Control, Gates & Barriers, PA Systems, Fire Alarms and Intruder Alarms.

Closed circuit television is essential if you're serious about protecting your people, premises and property. CCTV has seen incredible advances in recent years, transforming its capability out of all recognition. These advances significantly improve security performance and vastly reduce installation and maintenance costs. Based in London, our network of engineers reaches across the UK. Whether it is a relatively modest or a high end state of the art solution, our systems are only specified after we have fully determined your needs with a thorough Security Risk Assessment.

Electronic access control provides ease of use and flexibility when compared with key-based systems. Access control lets you manage entry and exit to your site and buildings through doors, revolving doors, turnstiles, gates and barriers. The systems are also deployed to manage access to secure or areas of high sensitivity within your buildings. Advanced systems where accompanied entry or exit policies need to be enforced are easily accommodated through the use of a two part 'binary' system requiring two tokens, cards or fobs to be presented simultaneously to control access.

We have significant experience in designing, installing and maintaining systems for educational environments. This means we have a highly developed understanding of your needs to prioritise the safety of staff and students and carrying out installation work with as little disruption as possible. We can upgrade your current network to bring you the latest technologies or redo your whole network from scratch, depending on your school's needs. On top of that we can improve your existing CCTV footage, saving you time and money in the long run.

On top of security it is important that you are able to monitor operations and health and safety, too, and our advanced systems make tracking what is and isn't going on in your store straightforward and simple. Loss prevention and protecting your staff are any retailers' top priorities and our security solutions can give you the peace of mind you need to feel safe and secure. From a fully integrated system combining CCTV, access control and alarms to stand alone solutions, with iC2 your security systems will always be tailored to your needs.

The security of your construction site and your ability to guard it from trespassing, theft and vandalism is a concern that runs through every project. Around 6000 break-ins a year cost the industry 800 million. Despite previously having a reputation as an impractical security system for the construction industry, technological advances have made construction site CCTV the most cost-effective, reliable and comprehensive solution for your project. Its implementation can reduce the security costs of your site by up to 75% compared to manned guarding without compromising on efficiency.

Safeguard against forced entry to your premises to protect your physical and intellectual property. Intruder alarms typically have sensors at entry points to buildings such as doors and windows. Sensors can also detect motion and be placed under foot to detect people walking through or standing in areas that need to be protected. Visual clues to the presence of the alarm such as the external bell box may deter forced entry to premises. The sound of the alarm will almost certainly make an intruder think twice once activated.

If you're on strict deadline, or don't want to spend time and money on cable installations, wireless CCTV solutions could provide you with a quick and easy solution, without compromising on security. Installing wired CCTV cameras on your site can be a complicated, time-consuming and costly experience, involving a street dig or signing line contracts to ensure backhaul connectivity. This process can increase your security costs and extend the duration of your project considerably beyond what you will have hoped for.

Our automated sliding gates/barriers are usually accessed via a fob or a swipe card system and can also include a visitor intercom. Intercom systems can be either audio, which allows you to confirm who is requesting access, or audio with video supplement, which allows you to see who is trying to gain access to your premises. Vehicle gate/barrier entry systems operate by a radio fob transmitter that opens the gate/barrier automatically and closes the gate after a vehicle has passed through. Leaving the site through our gates and barriers can be managed in many ways, from free exit, which is triggered by a ground loop sunken into the road, to fully controlled permission to exit being required, which is controlled by your security system.

Suited to a range of applications from small premises to large scale sites such as educational campuses, corporate HQs, multiple-site premises, government buildings and sports clubs, Paxton Net2 is the choice wherever you need access control as part of a centrally managed or an integrated security solution. Suited to smaller sites for internal (lower security) applications, a Compact system is quick and easy to install - you simply connect to a power supply and a lock. Suited to small and medium scale sites, Switch2 is an external (higher security) access control product.

Replacing your entire camera network can be expensive, time consuming and disruptive, but keeping your old analogue system could cost you more if the footage doesn't stand up in court. Encoding improves the quality of your footage while still retaining your current cameras network and allows you to upgrade your current network to the latest IP-based surveillance without replacing it, saving you time and money, while ensuring the safety and security of your site. Avigilon's award-winning encoding system allows you to upgrade from your analogue security systems with ease, keeping your current camera network in action so you don't have to face the cost of installing new cameras.

Our highly trained experts carry out seamless and efficient installations that won't affect your business. Our experience and knowledge of your sector sets us apart from the rest. With iC2 you can be confident your security system meets all Data Protection guidelines and the systems we use will always be bespoke to your building or site. Our systems can also provide you with unique and innovative ways of monitoring your operations to make sure your staff are following health and safety requirements and machines are operating successfully.

Like many areas of applied technology, specifying, installing and ongoing maintenance of security systems is highly specialised, and requires qualified expertise from those with many years of experience. Unfortunately, also like other areas, there are unscrupulous cowboy operators and well intentioned one-man bands that just do not have the depth of knowledge or resources to provide the level of service required. Technology moves on (and drags us with it whether we like it or not!) and it can be hard to keep up.

Flexible solutions for when you need to install cameras quickly to provide surveillance fast. The iC2 Rapid Deployment CCTV Camera (RDC) provides the ability to commission CCTV coverage of an area quickly. This enables you to overcome one of the most frustrating aspects of provisioning CCTV security - avoiding the time delay between identifying an urgent need and actually getting cameras installed. It's a complicated world and this throws up barriers which delay the process right the way through from first identifying a need to final deployment.
