Our Service to You

Public Address & Public Address Voice Alarm

We LCS have been heavily involved with the design and build of a number of medium and large PAVA systems on the railways. 
From the initial acoustic modelling providing the speaker locations, tapings, Amp requirements and predicted STI levels based on using information from the architects (desk top analysis only) or a combination of the information from the architects and by carrying out an acoustic survey on site to provide a better and more accurate predicted STI (RASTI). 

This information will allow the larger design and build detail to be progressed giving sufficient information for the PAVA manufacturer to produce a build specification and the nominated PA designer to progress their design knowing the exact number of assets required and where so that cable and CMS lengths and types can also be assed.

We at LCS can help you with all the above or any part thereof;
• Acoustic Modelling;
• Design (cable schedules, schematics and CMS);
• Procurement;
• Installation;
• Commissioning (this will include the proving of the original predicted STI’s and any tweaking of that to meet standards).

Our engineers are trained by and familiar with two of the leading PAVA manufacturers; 
• ASL-Control; 
• Baldwin Boxall Voice Alarm Systems.


Closed Circuit Television

DIGITAL CCTV:
CCTV Systems have traditionally been based on analogue technologies. LCS are able to provide the latest in ‘Digital’ solutions which are connected over IP networks. IP Cameras offer new intelligence possibilities and embedded alarm functionality. The very latest camera technology can provide high definition clear images even at night or under low-light conditions. 
To date our installations have been carried out using Axis, Bosch, Cannon, Verint and Samsung type IP Cameras and their product specific video solutions.

Our experience allows us provide a full package that is inclusive from the design of the network infrastructure through surveys, benchmarking, camera location, installation and commissioning to providing ongoing support and maintenance for your new digital CCTV system. Or assist you to convert from your current analogue system replacing the old with new in stages to meet your budgets and time scales.

ANALOGUE CCTV:
Whilst new installations are typically now based around the new Digital IP CCTV Systems the traditional analogue technologies are still very much in use and not every application will be overhauled overnight. Existing and new analogue systems will still need the expertise we at LCS can provide for new and expanded systems, support and maintenance.

INTELLIGENT VIDEO ANALYTICS:
LCS has installed different types types of IVA Systems. IVA at the edge of the network, on the cameras themselves, or IVA at the core of the network on the video server. LCS are experienced designers and installers of both types of IVA system. 
Depending on your project specific requirements, LCS can bring their experiences to your system, helping to reduce false alarms and providing value engineering, making your system more dependable and user friendly. 

Our aim is to provide quality systems with manufactures that have been evaluated by the UK Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB), e.g. systems that has been confirmed using the HOSDB Imagery Library for Intelligent Detection Systems (i-LIDS®) and approved as a primary detection system for operational alert and/or an event based recording system for sterile zone monitoring.

VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (VMS):
More complex CCTV systems require user interaction via a graphical user interface (GUI). This is usually a function of the video management software. LCS utilise many of industries leading VMS solutions, including Bosch - BVMS, Verint - Nextivia, Axxon - Soft, Milestone - Xprotect and Tecton - Nuclus. 

Depending on your specific requirements, LCS can provide a VMS system that can provide:-
• Digital Recording on RAID-5 or RAID-6 storage;
• Live view or playback recordings;
• Multiple camera displays on single or split screens;
• Automatically generate audio alarms & switch cameras to monitors when an IVA alarm is activated;
• Retrospective Investigations using video forensics;
• Easily route video to external displays / video wall;
• Export video footage with watermarking making it tamper proof and suitable for criminal prosecution.

Copper Digital Networks & Fibre Optic

NETWORKING:
LCS has developed its networking capabilities to support IP CCTV, Digital Radio and Wi-Fi Systems. As power over internet applications have become more common place and affordable we are able to assist in providing you with all your design and build requirements giving you your own structured cabling network, be it CAT5e, CAT6 or Fibre. We utilise a number of leading networking manufacturers including Cisco, Mikrotik, Moxa, Allied Telesis and HP Networking to give you the best possible system for your needs.
FIBRE OPTICS:
LCS offer the complete service. Procurement, cable installation, fusion/mechanical splicing and testing. LCS can help you design and build the fibre network that will support your bandwidth requirements in both Single and Multi mode. With extensive experience in core telecommunications networks, private and public sectors, LCS can deliver to your expectations.
