A prep school has recently had CCTV fitted to support its access control system – both supplied by Norbain and installed by Spectre UK Ltd.
In the quiet Derbyshire countryside at Foremarke Hall, Repton Preparatory School had previously deployed a Paxton Access Control system, to ensure controlled access to the school’s buildings.
Installed by Spectre UK Ltd, the system proved so useful that the school was keen to complement it with a CCTV camera network, to provide extra security and further reassure pupils and staff.
Richard Fletcher, Bursar for Repton Preparatory School. said: "Having experienced their expertise and professionalism with the Access Control project, we once again turned to Spectre UK Ltd. After technical liaison and site visits, Spectre specified a package of the latest CCTV technology, designed to meet our security and budget requirements."
Judith Clarke, Operations Manager for Spectre UK Ltd, said: "With a 54-acre site consisting of listed buildings, vast grounds and a public right of way running through it, specifying and installing the correct technology was a technical challenge. One of the toughest challenges was finding the best solution to transmit images from cameras situated across a road, to the main school building.
"Providing the solution, we used NVT UTP video transmission equipment, employing NVT NV-214A-M transceivers at the camera end to transmit video over Cat5 UTP cable, routed via a span over the roadway. This delivers interference-free high-quality video to the school’s Dedicated Micros SD eight channel DVR, via a NVT NV-1672 DigitalEQTM receiver hub – all sourced through Norbain. Delivering the correct mix of the latest security technology has been the key to the success of both the Access control and CCTV systems at the school. With access to the best performing products in the vast security market place via Norbain, we have supplied an economical and high-performance CCTV camera network that benefits the school on a daily basis, and will continue to do so for years to come."
