Our team recently completed a full Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) CCTV installation for a commercial client in Ferndown. The project involved replacing an outdated analogue system with high-definition IP cameras powered through a single Cat6 cable. By utilising PoE technology, we eliminated the need for separate power supplies at each camera location, reducing the infrastructure requirements for the building. This setup provides a more stable connection and superior image quality compared to traditional wireless or analogue alternatives.

The installation included a 16-channel Network Video Recorder (NVR) and a managed PoE switch to handle the data and power distribution. We are seeing a significant shift toward these systems among business owners in Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire who require reliable, 24/7 surveillance. Our City & Guilds qualified electricians ensured all cabling was discreetly routed and compliant with current building regulations. This particular Ferndown office now has full remote monitoring capabilities, allowing the management team to access live feeds securely from any location.

Dorset Electrical Solutions has over 20 years of experience providing industrial and commercial electrical services across the region. We offer complete electrical design and installation for security systems, alongside our core services such as consumer unit upgrades and emergency electrical repairs. For local businesses looking to upgrade their security infrastructure, PoE remains the industry standard for scalability and performance. We continue to serve clients throughout Ferndown, Wimborne, and Poole with professional, cost-effective solutions.

Our team is currently scheduled for several more security upgrades in the area over the coming weeks. Photos of these completed projects will follow. If you require a professional electrician in Ferndown or an electrician in Dorset for your next project, contact our team for a free quotation.
