Clacton Hospital
Clacton-on-Sea, Essex 2023
A site-wide CCTV, access-control and intruder-alarm installation protecting patients, staff, wards, controlled-drug stores and car parks around the clock.

The challenge
A site assessment identified vulnerabilities across entrances, emergency exits, patient wards and parking areas. The hospital needed to restrict entry to sensitive zones such as operating theatres and medication storage, and to bring every system into one place for real-time monitoring and incident response.
The outcome
Comprehensive coverage of entrances, wards and parking, with audited access to the most sensitive areas and a single control room for real-time monitoring and rapid incident response — all underpinned by 24/7 support.
What we delivered
- 110 high-definition CCTV cameras with night vision covering entrances, corridors, common areas and parking
- Access control on 72 doors using key-card authentication and biometric scanners, restricting sensitive zones such as theatres and medication stores
- A 165-zone intruder alarm — motion sensors and door/window contacts — for full intrusion detection
- A centralised control room integrating CCTV, access and alarms for real-time monitoring, backed by ongoing maintenance and 24/7 technical support
