Full Scale Security Upgrade for English Heritage Estate

When the Cokenach proprietors decided the CCTV system at their country estate was in need of an upgrade they contacted IDS for advice. They state, “We have had CCTV installed at our premises for more than 10 years now and it was definitely in need of an upgrade. We contacted many suppliers of not only GeoVision systems, but also alternative solutions to replace what we had on site. When we spoke to Tas and George from IDS we felt that here was a supplier who understood our needs, who could deliver what we asked for – not only a product but also a service, for a very comparative price.”

Cokenach Proprietors

Cokenach is a picturesque private family estate set in the heart of the British countryside. Dating back to the 16th century it is now English Heritage Listed and plays host to business conferences, sporting events and weddings.

 

George Kyriacou, Head of Systems Engineering, IDS explains, “For this project we needed to find a solution that was sympathetic to the historical structure of the premise but still offer the latest advances in technology.”

The Solution

We installed 12 new IP CCTV cameras, along with WiFi links, Access Control Readers, ANPR Camera and an IP based video entry phone system which integrates with the ANPR, Access Control and CCTV seamlessly. The HD video entry incorporates a reader that allows access to anyone who has a key fob. The system is really easy to use and operators can manage individual access to each gate, search access logs, add fobs, and many more features on an internet browser from any location.

Furthermore, for additional security the CCTV also records the camera streams from the entry phone.  Site operators can now manage and monitor the entire system from a mobile app allowing them to have full access and control even when they are not on site.

 

Cokenach proprietors, conclude, “This past upgrade and extension of our CCTV, ANPR and Gate Control is very useful for our Estate. The team behind it did an excellent job. Whenever we have a question we immediately feel that IDS take full responsibility to sort out any small or bigger issues.”
