CCTV & Access Control Systems


See what is happening around your property and manage who can enter, using controls that are clear and straightforward to operate.

Modal AV designs and integrates CCTV, access control and video intercom for homes, care environments and commercial sites. Every system is planned around the property, its risks and the people responsible for it.

Know What Is Happening. Control Who Enters.

A well-designed security system should help authorised people understand an event and decide what happens next. We begin with the property, the people using it and the responsibilities that need to remain clear.

See

View relevant cameras and recorded events using the controls available to authorised people.

Verify

Use video intercom and associated cameras to check a visitor before deciding whether to grant access.

Manage

Give household members or staff the access appropriate to their role, location or schedule.

CCTVPlanned for Useful Coverage

Useful CCTV is not about installing the largest possible number of cameras. We plan positions around what needs to be seen, changing light conditions and where recordings will be reviewed.

Image quality, recording and remote viewing are matched to the site requirements. Video analytics or number plate recognition can be considered when they have a defined purpose and appropriate management.

Camera coverage, access to footage and retention responsibilities should be agreed before commissioning. Where cameras may capture neighbouring property, public areas or communal spaces, refer to current ICO guidance and involve the relevant advisers.

Access Control That Fits Daily Life

A front gate, family entrance, staff door and restricted area do not necessarily need the same method of entry. We select readers, credentials and permissions around the people using each access point.

Video intercom can help an authorised person see and speak to a visitor before deciding whether to grant access. Time-based or role-based permissions can be introduced where they make day-to-day management clearer.

One Clear Viewof the Property

CCTV, access control and video intercom depend on the network beneath them. Where it serves the brief, they can also be coordinated with gates, external lighting and the wider property controls.

When someone arrives at a gate or entrance, a coordinated system can allow an authorised person to see the visitor, speak to them and decide whether to grant access from the appropriate interface. The exact response, recording and permissions are configured for the property and the people responsible for it.

Different Spaces.Different Responsibilities.

Care

Plan visitor access, staff permissions and camera responsibilities around residents, care teams and the operation of the home.

Commercial

Coordinate coverage, entry permissions and system management around staff roles, visitors and the day-to-day use of the site.

Security in Practice

At Car Audio & Security's Hayes showroom and workshop, Modal AV coordinated CCTV with the network and wider building controls. The project shows how security can form part of an operational technology system rather than remain a separate collection of devices.

Planned, Commissioned and Supported

Clear decisions at the beginning make the finished system easier to operate, document and support.

Understand1

Establish the property, risks, access needs and responsibilities.

Design2

Coordinate coverage, entry points, cabling, recording, network and controls.

Commission3

Configure permissions, test recording and confirm the controls available to authorised people.

Handover4

Explain operation, provide documentation and agree ongoing support responsibilities.

PlanYour Security System

Tell us about the property, the areas that matter and how access is managed today. We can help define a security system that fits the space and remains clear to operate and support.
