Quakers head office, Euston Road
This large and prestigious Grade II listed building required special care to ensure cabling was neat and unobtrusive. Small ergonomic dome cameras were selected to ensure the character of the building was not spoiled and that internal cameras were as unobtrusive as possible. The long interconnecting corridors required special consideration for cabling, thus we chose NVT digital transmission using CAT-5 cabling from camera to recorder to ensure good signal quality over the long distances.
The 16 camera system, including external PTZ cameras, were linked to Verdant Technologies’ Digital Camera Station recorders housed in a rack-mount cabinet. Up to four operators have concurrent remote access to live cameras and recorded images via VPN and local area network.

Friends House is grade II listed building in a very vulnerable position. For a long time we were plagued by over drug abuse in our garden and suffered a number of intruders. We relied on a system of rather ugly black and white low definition cameras without any ability to search or print images. In 2006 we replaced the old system with Verdant Technologies CCTV, installed by Cleanline Installations Ltd. The cameras are much more suited to our listed status and offer clear images with and easy to use ability to locate and print images of incidents. The system is a significant deterrent and has enormously improved staff security. Cleanline Installations carried out installation covering our garden, bookshop, restaurant, reception, stairwells and fire escape doors very efficiently. The few queries we have had concerning operation of the system have been answered quickly and clearly by Verdant Technologies Quakers finance and property, Friend’s House, Euston

 

Brixham Community College
Brixham Community College’s tape system was badly in need of an upgrade and Verdant Technologies were proud to be selected as the provider of the new digital system. Downtime was very much an issue in this busy school, thus the challenge was to upgrade the 40 cameras from tape to digital in less than one day with minimal downtime, which we achieved. Two rackmount 16 channel systems and a small footprint 8 channel system were provided with network transmission for remote viewing of cameras and recorded images.

I would be delighted to confirm our wholehearted satisfaction with the service that you have provided. We were initially amazed at the ability range of the product and the huge range of easily formatted features available. The system has proved ideal - as had been expected. The after sales service has been excellent and you continue to help with issues such as adding night vision cameras. It is straight forward to identify a known incident and locate the section of "film" required. It is simplicity itself to print off the "evidence". We look forward to an ongoing relationship Business Development Manager, Brixham Community College

 

Will Adams Centre, Gillingham
This lively centre had seen a number of incidents of vandalism and so the introduction of CCTV was a high priority for the school. Verdant Technologies were awarded the contract for supply of a six camera system recording onto Verdant Technologies’ own digital recorder including external pole mounted PTZ dome cameras. This was later extended to 8 cameras to add further coverage, in addition to the neighbouring Woodlands Centre which purchased a three camera system with recorder following good reports from Will Adams. The system has proved it worth both as a deterrent and means to provide essential evidence for police and parents alike.

We feel that the system has paid for itself through the reduction in vandalism, and, of course, the safety of staff. Once the students realised that the cameras had been installed we saw an immediate improvement in their behaviour. Still pictures of some of the more outrageous behaviour have been produced at parent/teacher meetings, this has proved to be a very useful tool. Head Teacher, Will Adams Centre, Gillingham

Fordway Centre; Spelthorne
This small primary school was one of Verdant Technologies first special schools. The four camera system, linked to Verdant Technologies’ digital recorder provided needed coverage of the school perimeter and playground area. The recorder is linked to the school’s local area network to provide operators remote access to live and recorded images to facilitate monitoring of playground activities during the day.

We are more than happy with the system. Very easy to use and access and a friendly voice on the end of the phone if assistance required. Administrations officer, Fordway Centre

Utopia Village Services
The initial 8 channel rack-mounted digital recorder supplied by Verdant Technologies was upgraded to provide an always on VPN link to the central security office. This enabled security staff to monitor operations remotely using standard broadband telephony and saved precious time previously spent travelling across busy London traffic to verify incidents at the camera station.

We have been dealing with Verdant Technologies for several years and have purchased several systems from them over this period. We have always found them to be reliable and helpful company and are pleased with the support provided. Our units installed by Verdant Technologies Ltd at the Octagon Centre and Utopia Village were upgraded at the beginning of February 2005 to provide remote monitoring via broadband communications link between the two sites. We have found this facility of great assistance, enabling our security staff to view both live and recorded video round the clock. In general we have found the communications link to be very reliable and a significant benefit in terms of speed of response to any incidents. Director, Utopia Village Services
