Case Study

Selsey RNLI lifeboats CCTV

Applewood was honoured to support the vital work of the RNLI by providing a comprehensive CCTV system for their lifeboat station in Selsey. This project underscored our commitment to enhancing safety and security in environments where protecting lives and assets is of utmost importance.

Project Scope and Implementation

The RNLI required a robust and reliable CCTV system to monitor key areas of their lifeboat station, ensuring the safety of their crew, visitors, and equipment. The solution needed to withstand the challenging coastal environment, provide clear visuals in all weather conditions, and integrate seamlessly into their operational setup.

CCTV System Features

Applewood designed and installed a bespoke CCTV system tailored to the unique requirements of the lifeboat station:

• High-Definition Cameras: Installed in strategic locations to provide comprehensive coverage of the premises, including the lifeboat docking area, crew facilities, and visitor access points.
• Weatherproof Design: Cameras equipped to withstand harsh coastal conditions, including saltwater exposure, wind, and rain, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Night Vision Technology: Infrared capabilities for round-the-clock surveillance, even in low-light conditions, ensuring the station’s operations are monitored 24/7.
• Remote Access: A centralised monitoring system with remote access capabilities, allowing authorised personnel to view live footage and review recordings from any location.
• Scalability: The system was designed to allow for future expansions, accommodating additional cameras or upgraded features as required.
