Computer vision for UK property managers, landlords, and security operators.
The motion-triggered alert that fires every time a fox walks past is training your team to ignore the camera. I build smarter vision systems that alert on what actually matters: someone climbing the fence, a vehicle overstaying, an empty property entered, a parking bay misused. Built on your existing cameras. Code in your repo.

What's actually happening on your camera right now.
You bought the cameras for a reason. Maybe an incident, maybe insurance, maybe both. The system did the job for a week, then the false alerts started: wind, foxes, headlights, a tree branch in a storm. After a month, nobody's checking the app. The cameras are still recording, but the alerts have stopped meaning anything.
The cameras are fine. The problem is what's deciding what counts as an alert. A vision system uses the same footage and decides intelligently: a person, climbing, at the fence, at 2am. Only then does it bother you.
What I build for property managers and security operators.
Smart camera alerts
Replaces motion-triggered nonsense with object-aware detection. A person at the fence triggers an alert. A fox doesn't. A delivery van pulling in during the day doesn't. A van reversing up to a roller shutter at 3am does.
Quoted on scope.
Fixed price in writing before any work starts. Hardware, on-site installation, and any opted-in subscriptions quoted separately at cost.
Empty-property monitoring
For vacant units, holiday lets, second homes, between-tenant flats. The system knows what an empty property looks like and flags only real intrusions, not the cleaner, not the boiler engineer with a code.

Parking & overstay
Private car parks, residents' bays, loading zones. Reads plates, logs duration, flags overstays. Replaces the monthly parking-enforcement subscription with something you own outright.

Site walkover record
Camera at the gate of an unmanned site (storage yard, plant compound, vacant land) keeps a daily record of every visit. Searchable when something goes missing.

A few of the situations this system handles.
A residential block where the existing CCTV fires motion alerts every time a fox walks past. The system replaces the alerts with object-aware detection. The duty concierge only hears about actual people in places they shouldn't be.
A private car park or set of residents' bays with persistent overstay problems. The system reads plates at the entrance, logs duration, and flags overstays for whoever handles enforcement. The data becomes the evidence for warning letters or fines.
An empty property between tenants, or a holiday let between bookings. The system watches the entry points and alerts on real intrusion, not the cleaner or a contractor who has a code. Owner sleeps better.
A facilities team managing a portfolio of buildings from one place. Each site reports to the same dashboard. Real alerts land on the right phone. False alerts don't land anywhere.
Why this, why me.
It uses your existing CCTV.
No replacement cameras unless something's genuinely broken. Clip review tells you for sure.
Fewer alerts, better ones.
Standard motion detection is the wrong tool for everything except an empty room. Object-aware alerts are what you actually wanted in the first place.
The code is yours.
No subscription, no per-camera fees, no surprise pricing.
GDPR-aware by default.
Faces blurred unless you have a specific lawful basis and the right controls in place. Plate reading is treated as vehicle data, not personal data, in most contexts. We cover this properly on the call.
Fixed price, in writing.
A call, then a build.
We talk
Twenty minutes. You walk me through the portfolio, the alert problems, the cameras you already have.
I build
Two to four weeks per site, less for portfolio rollouts after the first.
Every quote breaks out the build fee, hardware, install labour, and any subscriptions in writing before you commit. One total, every line visible.
The things people ask before we start.
Will it stop the fox alerts entirely?
Yes. The system classifies what it sees. A fox is a fox, not a person. The same applies to wind-moved branches, headlights sweeping across a wall, and rain on the lens. These get filtered out at the classification step, before they ever reach your phone.
What about deliveries during the day?
Configurable. Most clients suppress vehicle alerts during working hours and enable them after hours. The rules can be different per camera, per day of the week, per time of day. We set this up properly during the build.
Can it identify residents versus intruders?
That's a heavier piece of work involving stored faces of authorised people, with significant data protection implications. It's technically possible but not usually the right answer for residential property. Anonymous person detection plus context (time of day, camera location, expected versus unexpected presence) is almost always enough.
Where does the footage live?
On your hardware by default. Cloud setups are available where the portfolio is too distributed for on-site servers, or where a managed security service needs remote access. We discuss the right setup for your specific portfolio.
Does it work at night?
Yes, provided the camera has infrared. Most modern CCTV does. We confirm during scoping which of your cameras are night-capable and which, if any, need an upgrade.
What happens when the system fires an alert?
Your choice. Phone notification, email, a push to your existing security app, a message to a manned monitoring station. Each alert includes a still image and a short clip so the recipient can verify before acting. We set up the routing during the build.
How quickly can it be running across my portfolio?
Two to four weeks for a single property. Portfolio rollouts run faster per site after the first one because the rules and configuration are reused. A seven-block residential portfolio typically completes inside six to ten weeks. Larger estates of twenty-plus sites usually run twelve to sixteen weeks, with a phased rollout if needed.
