About the Project

Direct Security approached Varciti with a requirement to enhance surveillance coverage at Tottenham Vale, where a footbridge connecting two sides of the site had become a security concern. The challenge was to provide high-quality video feeds from both ends of the footbridge and link them back to the central CCTV infrastructure, despite the physical separation and limited cabling routes.

The existing network infrastructure did not support long-distance, high-bandwidth data transmission across the footbridge, making fibre optic the optimal solution.

Our Solution

Varciti designed and delivered a secure, high-performance fibre optic network that linked two new CCTV cameras—each positioned at either side of the footbridge—back to the site’s central communications room and Network Video Recorder (NVR) server.

Key Solution Elements:

  • Site Assessment & Design:
    We conducted a full site survey to understand structural constraints and cable routing options. A fibre link was chosen for its ability to deliver stable, high-speed video data across the required distance with immunity to interference.
     
  • Fibre Optic Installation:
    Our team installed a single-mode fibre optic cable from the main comms cabinet to both sides of the footbridge, creating a robust and secure network path. Weatherproof junctions and protective conduit were used to maintain system integrity.
     
  • CCTV Integration:
    The fibre was terminated using media converters to support the IP cameras, allowing seamless integration with the existing NVR infrastructure. All components were tested for reliability and performance under operational loads.
     
  • Commissioning & Testing:
    Final system tests were conducted to confirm camera performance, network connectivity, and NVR recording. The solution was delivered with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.

Client Impact

With Varciti’s solution, Direct Security was able to enhance surveillance and safety at Tottenham Vale by adding crucial camera coverage on both sides of the footbridge. The fibre optic link ensures that high-quality video is transmitted securely and reliably to the main monitoring system, strengthening site security and incident response capabilities.
