CCTV Installation for Airports & Transport Hubs
Terminals, concourses and rail hubs demand CCTV that delivers clear, evidential footage at entrances, security lanes, gates, retail fronts and baggage areas—without slowing operations or breaching privacy. Glare from atria, dense footfall, mixed tenants and strict airside/landside controls make generic systems fragile. ACCL designs and installs CCTV across London, Surrey and Kent, engineered for reliability, compliance and fast investigations in live environments.

Why transport CCTV fails (and how we fix it)
- Faces too small at choke points. High/wide views don’t meet identification requirements at doors, security and gates. We frame to target distances and select Wide Dynamic Range sensors for glare.
- Storage that shrinks at peak. Seasonal motion spikes blow past estimates; “30 days” becomes 12. We model bitrate with margin and align to your retention policy (guide: CCTV Storage, Retention & Monitoring).
- Tenants & neighbour noise. Multiple retailers add cameras and SSIDs; unmanaged cabinets cause drops. We stabilise the wired layer and document standards tenants can follow.
- Mixed kit & weak governance. Ad-hoc NVRs and shared logins slow exports and raise GDPR risk. We standardise the Video Managment System with roles, Multi-Factor Authentication and audit logs.
- Cabinet chaos. Heat and spaghetti patching create intermittent failures. A Data Cabinet Tidy restores airflow and order before cameras go in.
If distances or EMI demand it, we interconnect rooms with Fibre-Optic Installation Services.
