Top marks for local school’s new CCTV
» » DELTA SECURITY, A
specialist in high security
solutions, has installed a
sophisticated 1080p HD CCTV
system to protect students,
teachers, and visitors at the
Hackney-based Rushmore
Primary School.
The Board of Governors
decided to replace the ageing
CCTV system with a solution
that would provide high-
quality, recordable footage
day and night. As the school
is based in a residential area
it was also important that
invisible, non-intrusive infra-
red lighting was used rather
than flood lights that could
disturb neighbours.
Based over two sites on
opposite sides of a private road,
there was added complexity of
installing an integrated CCTV
system that served both sites.
Delta Security used catenary
cables that run across the road
to ensure the CCTV system was
fully functional throughout the
entire site.
Vanessa Browne, School
Business Manager, Rushmore
Primary School, says with
a large, disparate site it was
important that the system
provided full coverage: “We
wanted a system that would
give us total visibility and
instant play-back of footage
across all entrances and exits,
as well as some internal areas.
“Three suppliers provided
quotes and Delta Security was
chosen because the owner,
Dave Mundy, demonstrated
an excellent understanding
of our needs, ensuring we
could achieve what we wanted
without spending more budget
than necessary,” she explains.
“He even informed us that
we could apply to claim back
50% of security costs from the
local authority, which we did
and were successful – a useful
benefit to Delta being a local
supplier.”
Dave Mundy, Managing
Director, Delta Security, says
education is an important
sector for the business:
“Having a good understanding
of the requirements of the
sector is why we continue to be
successful in helping to secure
schools. We ensure all our
engineers are enhanced DBS
checked, which provides the
same assurances as teachers
get for added convenience and
safety.”
Vanessa adds that engineers
were professional, friendly
and provided a good
demonstration of how to use
the terminal: “The system is
very easy to use, excellent
value for money, and the
service we received was ten
out of ten.”

Free Training – The Smart Way
» » ERA, THE UK’S LEADING
home security specialist,
is offering locksmiths
FREE product training
on its smartware range to
demonstrate how the products
should be installed and boost
confidence when dealing with
customers who request this
kind of home security.
TRAIN TO GAIN
Recognising that locksmiths
may need extra support
themselves to understand the
full capabilities of smartware,
ERA has introduced a
comprehensive programme of
smartware installation training
sessions, specifically designed
to help the locksmith feel
confident in front of customers
talking about the product and
installing it. With an eighty-five
per cent practical component,
the training offers hands on
practise for installers and is
receiving excellent feedback.
Tania Tams, head of
marketing at ERA said, “We
appreciate that locksmiths are
experts in their field of security
and are 100% confident fitting
a lock in front of a customer,
but we know they may not feel
as sure they can fit smartware
with the same confidence and
expertise.
“For this reason, we have
developed our own high
quality smartware training
programme, which covers all
aspects of ERA smartware,
from specifying the product
for a customer, enabling
installers to confidently advise
their customers on the right
product for them, physically
installing the product, setting
up the system on their
customer’s phone, through
to understanding the back up
support and more.
“We acknowledge that
locksmiths are at the ‘coal
face’ with their customers and
need to be confident fitting
the product and explaining
the supporting app settings
and features. As a responsible
organisation developing,
manufacturing and supplying
smartware products, providing
high quality training for our
trusted customers, was the next
logical step.
“At ERA, we are constantly
striving to provide not only
excellent smartware products,
but also back up, including a
dedicated helpdesk manned
by smartware experts and now
