UNIFI PROTECT / UNIFI ACCESS
CCTV installation
& access control.
Commercial and domestic CCTV installation and door access control in Essex. Explore UniFi cameras, ANPR and facial recognition with Red Nova.
CCTV & ACCESS CONTROL
A clear starting point.
At home, a camera might need to show who rang the bell or which vehicle entered the drive after dark. At work, it might need to cover a loading bay while staff use a separate entrance. We design camera coverage and door access around those specific jobs.
Person and vehicle alerts
Choose which events deserve an alert. For example, watch for a person approaching a side entrance rather than every vehicle passing on the road.
ANPR: number plate recognition
Search recorded vehicle arrivals by registration plate. Camera angle, lighting and vehicle speed matter, so we assess the actual approach to your driveway, yard or car park.
Facial recognition
Compatible Protect systems can group appearances of the same face to help review footage. This is optional: ordinary recording and person detection can be a better fit when identification is unnecessary.
Door entry without shared keys
With UniFi Access, issue individual NFC cards or mobile credentials on compatible readers. Remove one lost card without having to replace everyone’s keys.
Access schedules and entry history
Set which doors each person can use and when. Give staff access during their shift, limit a visitor’s access window and review recorded entry events.

A LITTLE CLARITY
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Do you install CCTV at homes as well as businesses?
Yes. We install domestic systems for entrances, gardens and driveways, and commercial systems for offices, workshops, yards and shared premises.
Does every UniFi camera recognise faces and number plates?
No. These features require a supported camera or compatible AI hardware. We specify the equipment for the job and agree where recognition should be enabled.
Can I start with cameras and add access control later?
Yes. Tell us which doors you may want to manage so we can plan cabling and check reader, lock and controller compatibility before installation.
Can you help at my location?
