Home isn't just a building

It's a feeling. When you don’t feel safe, it’s impossible to feel at home, and security becomes the heart of the problem but also the solution. Currently, our market-leading CCTV enables 23 million people across 2.7 million square feet to feel at home. #CreatingPerfectPlaces

Creating Perfect, Safe Places

Ingenuity for feeling safe and at home, everywhere

Home means a lot of things to lots of different people, but what it will always mean is safe.  And home isn’t just the four walls we grow up in. Home is the city, village, town or countryside in which we live. It’s where we go for retail therapy, for holidays, to travel, to feel better. If we don’t feel safe in these places, it’s impossible to feel at home. And who wouldn’t want to feel at home, everywhere? 

We know it’s impossible to feel at home when you don’t feel safe. Through the latest innovations, we’ve created a range of CCTV and security solutions that can adapt to every building, sector or space, to help millions of people feel safe every day.

When 90% of our lives are spent indoors, we owe it to ourselves to create perfect places where we can thrive. Two shopping centres in Scotland, that are at the heart of the East Kilbride and Livingston communities, have seen dramatic benefits after installing Siveillance VMS 300, a powerful, open IP video management software platform, not just for the visitors, but also for the security team and centre staff.

Ingenuity for building safe communities

Ingenuity for building safe communities not concrete jungles.

No two sites are the same. Our engineers spend weeks understanding your current systems and requirements to create a bespoke solution for every space, no matter the sector. Siemens’ commitment is to review your existing security systems and devices with a view to keeping viable technologies,whilst upgrading the systems to a new IP management platform to deliver a greater level of intelligence and system functionality.  We work with the people on the ground, because who knows the building better than the team walking its perimeters everyday?

The Centre, Livingston

For The Centre in Livingston that meant 360-degree cameras to see every angle, external motion sensors to pick up unusual activity at night, and an automated vehicle recognition barrier for their service yard. We overhauled the security with a phased upgrade to state of the art PTZ cameras in all public spaces; giving the security team a solution they can rely on, and most importantly build upon with the evolving nature of the shopping centre. From finding wandering children to spotting suspicious behaviour, people and tech are working in unison to create safer spaces in Scotland.

EK, East Kilbride

EK, East Kilbride reached out after outdated CCTV systems across 4 different platforms were creating a retrieval nightmare for the 1 million square foot shopping centre. We’re in the process of upgrading cameras and putting all their CCTV on one integrated platform, allowing the centre to track movements and retrieve footage instantly and seamlessly. This is crucial for a site that plays a multifaceted role for the residents of East Kilbride. It’s a destination for the weekly shop, school friends socializing, dinner dates, ice skating practice and cinema sessions. A large multi-use space requires careful security planning, and our engineers have worked closely with East Kilbride to ensure the site and its visitors remain protected with cameras online throughout the upgrade.

Siemens have been one of our partners for over seven and half years, with a number of their cameras already installed in the centre. We wanted to upgrade our CCTV system in order to improve image quality; with the old system, it would take hours to track looking through the old tapes. Now, we can pinpoint a time and pull images off multiple cameras in minutes. Ultimately we chose Siemens for the upgrade because of the abilities of the system, the competitive cost, and the practicalities of installing their solution.
