A project required a review and upgrade to a clients on-site Security Control Room (SCR), a technology upgrade path from analogue to digital video without change out of the existing cameras, and ensuring that all future cameras were IP.

CornerStone has been providing a range of security consultancy services to this London-based university for over eight years. This particular project was to review and upgrade their on-site Security Control Room (SCR), provide a technology upgrade path from analogue to digital video without change-out of the existing cameras, and ensure that all future cameras were IP. The systems had grown on an ad-hoc basis resulting in messy CCTV cabling, camera images suffering from interference and poor video quality, and the IT network not being utilised. To make the project more challenging, the SCR was to remain in the same physical location without losing monitoring during the works.

At Cornerstone, our holistic approach to risk and security goes beyond cyber and physical to give you complete situational awareness. By focusing on the whole rather than the parts, we eliminate silos that create risk, effectively saving you valuable time, money, and resources. Our award-winning proprietary approach includes an independent unified risk analysis and a suite of sophisticated security solutions designed to deliver end-to-end security excellence across a range of industries and geographies.
