What resolution cameras does Flextec install for commercial CCTV?

4MP to 8MP Hikvision and Dahua cameras are the standard spec on commercial sites. 4MP covers most retail, pub and office use; 8MP (4K) is specified by Flextec Limited where numberplate capture at car-park distance or fine detail in large warehouses matters. Wide-angle, PTZ, and panoramic 180°/360° lenses are available for specific site requirements.

How much cloud storage does the CCTV system include?

Around 30 days of continuous footage fits on a standard 4TB local NVR disk — that is the default storage spec on Flextec Limited commercial CCTV systems. Optional cloud backup is available for critical sites at additional monthly cost. Local storage means zero ongoing subscription fees for most customers and footage stays fully available even if the internet drops.

Does Flextec install CCTV for care homes and GDPR-sensitive sites?

Yes. Flextec Limited installs GDPR-compliant CCTV for care homes, schools, medical premises and other sites where privacy rules are strict. That includes signage and storage compliance, encrypted storage, and camera placement that avoids resident rooms or other sensitive areas. Documentation suitable for CQC inspections and data-protection audits is provided as part of every install.

Can Flextec upgrade my existing CCTV system rather than replacing it?

Often, yes — full replacement is rarely the only path. Flextec Limited can upgrade existing CCTV systems by replacing old analogue cameras with HD IP cameras, migrating DVRs to modern NVRs, adding remote viewing, or integrating new cameras into an existing Hikvision or Dahua installation. Compatibility is assessed during the free site survey before any quote goes out.

How quickly can Flextec respond to a CCTV fault or emergency?

Next-business-day response is the standard on service contracts, with priority emergency callout for contract customers on critical sites. Most CCTV faults are diagnosed remotely first — Flextec Limited engineers can often restore a system same-day without an engineer visit by pushing a firmware update or reconfiguring the NVR.

Does Flextec install CCTV with ANPR (numberplate recognition)?

Yes. Flextec Limited specifies dedicated ANPR cameras (Hikvision DeepinView or similar) for car parks, industrial yards, and commercial entrances where numberplate logging matters. ANPR systems integrate with access control barriers and can auto-log arrivals, flag blacklisted plates, and produce time-stamped entry reports for management review.

How do Flextec CCTV maintenance packages compare?

Three tiers, all sized to the site rather than off-the-shelf. Annual Service (the entry tier for a single small site) covers one scheduled visit plus emergency response at standard rates. Plus (the mid tier) adds twice-yearly servicing and priority callout. Total is custom-quoted for multi-site or high-criticality customers — monthly health checks, agreed response window, remote diagnostic. All three include firmware updates and parts at trade rates. Numbers are typical — Flextec Limited quotes per site after a free walk-round.

Do I need a monitored CCTV system or standalone?

Standalone CCTV records and gives you remote app access, but no one responds when something happens. Monitored CCTV connects to an NSI-approved Alarm Receiving Centre — operators verify activity and dispatch police or keyholders within minutes. Most letting agents, care homes and retail businesses choose monitored. Industrial yards and warehouses often go standalone with motion-activated lighting.

Who does Flextec install for?

We install for commercial sites only. Letting agents and HMO landlords across HU, YO and DN postcodes. Care homes (CQC-aware installs with resident-privacy zones). Property management firms running multi-site rollouts. Retail, hospitality, light industrial. Domestic enquiries are referred to local home-CCTV specialists — keeps the focus where the experience is.

Free site survey scheduled at the earliest available slot. Itemised quote follows the survey. Install windows confirmed at quote stage. Emergency or urgent commercial requests — post-break-in cover, void property protection — are prioritised where possible.

Hikvision vs Dahua vs Ajax — when we'd specify each

Brand selection follows site, insurer requirements and what your team will actually use day-to-day:

Brand	Best for	Strength	Watch out for
Hikvision	Commercial volume — retail, offices, multi-camera sites	Best price-to-spec ratio at 4MP and 8MP, mature Hik-Connect mobile app, ANPR-capable DeepinView range for car parks	Some public-sector procurement teams have UK restrictions on Hikvision — we'll flag if it's relevant to your site type
Dahua	Higher-end commercial, low-light environments, large warehouse	Stronger low-light performance with Full-Colour and Smart Dual Light, three-year manufacturer warranty as standard on most ranges	Slightly higher unit cost than the Hikvision equivalent; the DMSS app is less polished than Hik-Connect
Ajax	Wireless-first installs, integrated CCTV plus intruder, sites where wired install is impractical	Cleanest single-app experience covering CCTV plus intruder plus access; fast to install with minimal disruption	Higher per-unit cost; channel count is more limited than Hikvision NVR-based builds for very large sites

On most Hull commercial CCTV installs the volume cameras run Hikvision and we reach for Dahua where low-light or extended warranty matters. Ajax comes in when the customer wants a single integrated platform across alarm and CCTV in one app.
