Putting CCTV in a lift
A camera in the lift, with video sent out over its own wireless link — no new cables down the shaft, and the lift is back in service in hours.
What's going on
Most lifts were never wired for a camera. The travelling cable is already full, the lift contractor will not let anyone tap into it, and nobody can afford to shut the lift for a week. You just want a camera in there.
What we do
We check the lift car, the top of the shaft and the machine room, then book a time with your lift maintainer. A tough, vandal-proof camera and a small radio go on the car, with a matching radio at the top of the shaft. That link carries video only — it does not share your building Wi-Fi.
Before we leave
We angle the camera and set the night vision so you see faces, not floor tiles. Footage records to your NVR like every other camera, and we test the link from the bottom floor to the top before we hand it over.

- Check of the lift car, shaft and machine room
- Time slot agreed with your lift contractor
- Camera in the car plus its own wireless link
