Cameras need power too
A CCTV system, a gate motor and an intercom all go down with the grid. Whoever installs the backup supply should know what is hanging off it — and where the essential circuits need to be split.
Hitech Consulting covers both halves of a property: the systems that watch and control who gets in, and the systems that keep the power and water on. Same team, same number, one quote — instead of chasing four trades who all blame each other.
Day-night cameras, a recorder sized to keep the footage you actually need, and a live view on your phone.
open channel ›Keypads, tags, biometrics and intercoms. One door or a whole complex — with a record of who came through.
open channel ›Supply, install and repair of sliding and swing motors. Remotes, safety beams and a manual override that works.
open channel ›Entrance control for complexes, offices and yards. Traffic-rated booms with loop detection and visitor access.
open channel ›Zoned indoor and outdoor detection, panic buttons, sirens and phone notifications. Armed sections you can trust.
open channel ›Structured cabling, switches, routers and access points — so cameras, gates and computers all stay connected.
open channel ›Grid-tied or backup with batteries. Panels, inverter and changeover sized on your real usage, wired properly.
open channel ›Standalone lighting for driveways, yards, farms and complex roads. No trenching, no monthly meter reading.
open channel ›Hot water off the sun with electrical backup. Fitted, plumbed and pressure-tested.
open channel ›Pumps that run on panels instead of the grid, plus tanks, controllers and float protection.
open channel ›Supply, installation and servicing of split units for homes, offices and shops. Piped and drained neatly.
open channel ›New installations, DB boards, repairs and additions — signed off with a Certificate of Compliance where required.
open channel ›Not on the list? Ask anyway — if it runs on electricity or watches a gate, it is probably something we do.
Cameras, gates, doors and beams — wired, configured and put on your phone.
Solar, water and electrical — sized on survey, installed neat, signed off.
Security and power look like separate trades until you install them. Then they turn out to share the same walls, the same board and the same backup supply — and the seams between two contractors are exactly where jobs go wrong.
A CCTV system, a gate motor and an intercom all go down with the grid. Whoever installs the backup supply should know what is hanging off it — and where the essential circuits need to be split.
Camera cable, network cable and the run to the gate mostly follow the same route. Pulling them once, in one set of trunking, is cheaper and neater than three separate visits chasing three separate walls.
When the gate stops working after the inverter went in, there is no argument about whose fault it is. One contractor, one number, and the person who comes back is the person who installed it.
One quote for the whole property, or just the one thing that is bothering you. Either way the survey is free and there is no obligation at the end of it.
