- Dunoon: Upgrade 11 analogue cameras to digital
- Helensburgh: Upgrade 5 analogue cameras to digital

The transition from analogue to digital CCTV systems is intended to:

- Enhance the ability to monitor and respond to incidents in real-time.
- Increase storage capacity and ease of access to recorded footage.
- Integrate with modern security systems and technologies

There is the option to include Planned & Reactive Maintenance of the said CCTV system.

Regular maintenance schedules will be established to ensure the optimal functioning of the upgraded CCTV systems. This includes routine checks, software updates and hardware inspections.

In addition to planned maintenance, reactive maintenance protocols will be in place to address any unexpected issues or malfunctions. This ensures that any problems are promptly resolved to maintain continuous surveillance and security.
