Solutions - System Upgrades & Refits

Replace ageing security
without leaving a gap.

Staged upgrades and refits of legacy CCTV, access and alarm systems - carried out on live sites, with no period left unprotected.

Security systems age out.

Recorders fill and fail, cameras no longer meet the standard expected of them, access controllers are discontinued, alarm panels signal over a single ageing path, and software stops running on current operating systems. At some point a system is no longer maintained - it is merely tolerated.

Unified Security replaces and upgrades legacy security systems on occupied, operating sites - staged so the site is never left unprotected, and honest about what is genuinely worth keeping.

Triggers

When a system needs replacing.

The signs that a commercial system has reached the end of its supportable life are usually clear.

error

Equipment beyond support

Recorders, controllers or panels that are discontinued, unsupported, or cannot be repaired or expanded - every fault is now a crisis.

blur_on

Footage that no longer holds up

CCTV that produces images too poor to identify a person or a plate, or retention too short to cover a realistic investigation window.

scan_delete

Software stranded on old systems

Management software that will only run on operating systems that are themselves out of support - a security risk in its own right.

near_me_disabled

Coverage that no longer fits

A system designed around a site layout, tenancy or risk profile that has since changed, leaving gaps where risk has moved.

Single-path or fragile signalling

Alarm signalling over a single ageing path, with no redundancy and no reporting if it quietly fails.

warning

Compliance behind the standard

Equipment installed before the current AS/NZS standards and no longer matching what an insurer or auditor expects to see.

Upgrading a live site.

A commercial site cannot simply go dark for a week. The hard part of an upgrade is not the new equipment - it is replacing the old system without leaving the site exposed while you do it.

01
Step 1

Audit & assess

We assess existing equipment and tell you plainly what is serviceable and what is not. Cabling, certain field devices and infrastructure can often be retained, which reduces cost and disruption.

02
Step 2

Design the replacement

New platform specified for supportability, integration and long-term value - not blanket rip-and-replace, and not a half-measure that leaves failing equipment in place.

03
Step 3

Build alongside old

The new system is built up alongside the old. Coverage is transferred zone by zone or door by door, with both running in parallel.

04
Step 4

Verify, retire, document

Legacy equipment is only retired once its replacement is verified live. As-built documentation, equipment registers and operator training supplied at completion.

Integrate while you upgrade

An upgrade is a chance to integrate.

Legacy systems are usually disconnected - CCTV, access and alarm each doing their own thing. An upgrade is the natural point to bring them together into one integrated system, so the refit delivers not just newer equipment but a better-designed whole.

Integrated security system rack and infrastructure

Typical applications.

Discontinued equipment swap

Discontinued equipment

Sites running security equipment past manufacturer support - replaced staged so the building is never unprotected.

CCTV upgrade

Unusable CCTV footage

Surveillance that no longer identifies who or what it needs to - upgraded scene by scene to current standards.

Access controller upgrade

Obsolete access controllers

Access systems on stranded software or end-of-life controllers - migrated to current platforms without losing audit history.

Alarm signalling upgrade

Ageing alarm signalling

Alarms still running single-path or legacy signalling - upgraded to current standards-compliant signalling.

System refit

Outgrown systems

Sites whose layout, headcount or risk profile has outgrown the original system - re-designed against the operation as it is now.

Compliance & Standards

Upgrades done to current standard.

  • Upgrades designed and installed under NSW Master Licence No. 000109179
  • Carried out by directly employed, licensed technicians
  • Replacement systems installed to current AS/NZS standards
  • Staged so the site retains protection throughout the transition
  • Updated as-built documentation and registers supplied at completion

Replace what's past support.

We'll assess your existing system and plan a staged upgrade that swaps it out without leaving a gap in coverage.
