Advantex has won a six-figure contract to provide an advanced new digital surveillance and security system for the ancestral London home of the Dukes of Northumberland.
The move sees the Gateshead-based firm supply Syon House in Hounslow, West London with a new IP (Internet Protocol) Milestone IP surveillance system, complete with more than 30 external Axis IP cameras.
Remotely linked to development and investment company Northumberland Estates’ central control room at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, the technology will provide improved monitoring capabilities of the house, a visitor centre and pedestrian access roadway areas.
Tony Easingwood, Advantex’s senior account manager said: “This is a very prestigious project for us, showcasing our expertise in delivering challenging installations for heritage-style projects.”
The work is part of a major refurbishment of the 18th century-built Grade I-listed property, which today is used mainly as a venue for weddings and corporate events.
Shane Elliott, security manager based at Northumberland Estates in Alnwick said: “We are very pleased with the new system. Advantex were particularly sensitive to our conservation needs, delivering a cost-effective solution to meet not only our immediate surveillance and security needs but also the future needs of a large estate.”
