At Skysharp Solutions we lead the way in the design, development and application of CCTV systems with quality cameras fulfilling functions from retail security to securing commercial sites. All our stems record onto digital recorders which have large hard disk drives. We have low cost high capacity disk drives and use the latest digital systems which are more than capable of recording for as many days as a users data protection policy stipulates before being overwritten, hence removing the requirement for a tape library altogether. Incidents are recorded onto CD or DVD.

Our CCTV can record anyone who enters the premises. It can also record production lines in factories and show visitors on camera at a domestic or commercial site. Our CCTV can do this for 24 hours a day and monitor and protect stock within the premises and view the live pictures from our control centre. We have a control team who can monitor the CCTV onsite or offsite.banner5

retail security image

Over the past few years Retail stores have been considered an easy target for opportunists and thieves.  Without trained security personnel at the store practically any members of the general public can walk out of the store and steal valuable items without having to pay for them. Skysharp Solutions have noticed from previous experience that staff at some stores has also got involved in stealing valuable items. Problems like this not only cause a shrinkage of stock, but the profit margins of the store is very much likely to be low hence in turn may cause a loss overtime.

On client requests we have the experience, professionalism and expertise to get involved with the whole process of security. We can not only provide guards to stand by the door but we develop a security plan and store specific training for your shop so that you can get the quality of service you richly deserve.

We offer various Security Solutions and specialist advice; however this will depend on the size of the store, the type of goods being sold, the customer base, the location and the surveillance currently in place at the store.
