The client: The Grafton Centre

The Grafton Centre is a shopping complex based in Cambridge – one of England’s busiest tourist destinations – which accommodates thousands of people on a daily basis; welcoming over 13 million visitors every year.

The challenge

The centre required a discreet integrated security system – delivered as part of an £8 million redevelopment project. – combining CCTV, access control, communications and an advanced detection system to alert security staff of suspicious or abnormal activity, all monitored from a new high tech control centre.

Camrascan Security was the chosen supplier for two reasons: our vast previous experience in modern integrated security systems; and our ability to provided 24/7 ongoing support.

The solution

Working in conjunction with the centre’s management team and consultant engineers, Camrascan Security implemented an integrated security system tailored to meet every element of the brief’s requirements.

We designed, installed and commissioned a bespoke integrated security solution featuring more than 70 high performance cameras and state-of-the-art digital CCTV management system.

The result

Combined with our unique motion detection system which provides a visual overview of the entire centre, Camrascan Security has provided The Grafton Centre with an integrated system which is a valuable resource in the fight against crime and disorder.

Grafton Centre Director Michael Wiseman said: “We are delighted with our Camrascan installation, which is one of the most advanced security control systems installed in any UK shopping centre.

“Combined with Camrascan’s unique perimeter monitoring software, the turnkey solution that Camrascan has provided gives us peace of mind, and a valuable resource to fight increased crime and disorder.”
