The property

The assessment

We assessed the restaurant’s customer areas, kitchen, storage spaces and office to identify where the existing cameras provided limited coverage and where footage might be useful to the new owners.

Vulnerabilities identified

Vulnerabilities identified

• No NVR was in place to record footage.
• The existing 2MP cameras provided limited image detail.
• Key areas of the restaurant, including the main dining space, needed better coverage.
• Blind spots in the kitchen needed additional cameras.
• Storage areas and the office also needed coverage.

The system design

The CCTV layer

Camera coverage was installed across:

• The exterior entrance and customer waiting area.
• Indoor restaurant areas.
• Outdoor and indoor seating areas.
• The bar and point of sale.
• The kitchen.
• Storage areas.

Power & recording

Footage is recorded locally on the property. The new NVR is configured for motion recording, with storage capacity planned for approximately three months of footage.
