The Challenge

A busy site with blind spots and ageing security

A busy builders merchant site faces security risks that most offices never encounter — large outdoor yards, heavy plant, fuel storage, and stock that attracts opportunistic theft. Chris Harris was running an ageing CCTV system that offered poor image quality and no remote visibility.

  • Existing CCTV producing poor, unusable footage
  • No remote monitoring — issues discovered the next morning
  • Multiple suppliers with no single point of accountability

The Solution

Complete site-wide technology overhaul

VEHDA replaced the outdated CCTV with a professional 8-camera Hikvision system delivering 4K footage across the entire site. Real-time remote alerts go directly to Chris's phone — any movement triggers an immediate notification, day or night.

Beyond security, VEHDA supplies all IT hardware, maintains the stock control system, and provides a cloud phone system, connectivity, and wireless network across the whole premises.

Provider for entire stack

The system captured footage of intruders breaking in, and separately identified individuals stealing fuel from trucks. Both incidents produced clear, evidential-quality footage.

“Crystal-clear 4K footage, instant alerts on my phone, and the peace of mind knowing our premises are protected 24/7.”
