A practical military CCTV capability framework for base security
When you’re responsible for security on a military base, you’re often the person translating risk into clear requirements for others to deliver. Even if you’re not expected to design the full CCTV solution, you do need to be able to brief a consultant or installer with enough clarity that the finished system matches operational reality, especially at night, in bad weather and during time-critical incidents. This guide gives you a practical framework you can use to define what you need from military CCTV systems, focusing on: Operational outcomes: detect, recognise, identify and how quickly you can respond.Where different camera roles fit, e.g. when a PTZ camera is helpful and when a fixed IP camera is the safer choice.Uptime in harsh...

Military PTZ camera installation guide for hostile environments
In normal commercial deployments, most CCTV issues are inconvenient. In hostile deployments, the same issues become mission-impacting. That’s why a reliable military PTZ camera installation starts with one outcome: the camera must keep delivering usable coverage after months of wind, vibration, rain, dust, salt and temperature cycling (without constant site returns). This guide is designed for experienced integrators deploying PTZ cameras into exposed, remote or high-risk sites like military bases. It focuses on the practical details that keep a military PTZ camera stable, sealed, powered and operational, so you can hand over a system that performs in the real world, not just at commissioning. 1. Site survey Start by converting the threat model into an install plan on paper. The... Read More
Why prisons (and other custodial applications) need high-security CCTV cameras
Security audits show that 24 prisons in the UK are currently a concern or serious concern, meaning there’s a clear and urgent need to strengthen surveillance and monitoring across these sites. High-security CCTV cameras and integrated security systems are a key lever for improving oversight, evidencing adherence to procedures and reducing the risk of serious incidents. The CCTV security challenges inside and around custodial facilities Prison populations have remained close to capacity for years across the UK, with government projections suggesting the prison population in England and Wales will rise to between 98,000 and 103,600 by March 2030. Despite highly controlled environments, security challenges are escalating. Perimeter protection and escape risk For prison and detention perimeters, a single missed incident... Read More
The best CCTV for vacant property protection
Recent government data shows there are more than 264,000 long-term empty residential properties in England, before factoring in thousands of vacant commercial buildings. For building managers and landlords, each empty property represents both financial and reputational risk, making CCTV for vacant property a priority from day one. An unoccupied building is often exposed to vandalism, trespassers, theft, squatting and arson, leading to significant repair costs and reputational damage with residents and local authorities. Once targeted, these sites can quickly deteriorate. The CCTV Hub from Redvision, a UK-based CCTV camera manufacturer, is designed specifically for protecting assets that may lack power, connectivity and on-site personnel. Why the CCTV Hub is ideal for vacant sites The Redvision CCTV Hub is a rugged... Read More
How re-deployable CCTV can improve site safety and security across multiple locations
From busy town centres and traffic junctions to sporting events and festivals, these environments are often temporary, dispersed or high-risk, yet they still need consistent, high-quality CCTV coverage. At the same time, budgets are under pressure and teams are lean, so you need security systems that are quick to deploy, easy to move between locations, straightforward to manage and resilient if the network or power fails. This is where the CCTV Hub from Redvision, a UK-based CCTV camera manufacturer, comes into its own, providing a practical foundation for multi-location, re-deployable CCTV strategies. The challenge of multi-location CCTV Most legacy CCTV architectures were designed around fixed buildings and permanent network infrastructure. When you try to stretch those systems across multiple locations... Read More
