We've got you covered in 2021

It's fair to say that 2020 wasn't the year we had planned! I think we'll all agree that when we started out we had big expectations for a great year!

That said, OSS have continued to work hard and have had the pleasure of working on exciting projects, with great clients.

Without the support of our customers this year wouldn't have been possible.

We're pleased to see continued growth despite the challenges and we'd like to take this opportunity to say a big thanks to everyone who has supported us! - Not forgetting our amazing team who's commitment and dedication has meant that we have continued to provide service at the highest of standards throughout the pandemic and remaining Covid safe.

This year has seen giant leaps in innovation around security tech. We've profiled the incredible advancements in colour CCTV with Hikvision ColorVu below.

Highlights this year have included the launch of our CrimeTracker App that gives you the ability to check crime in your street.

The team were all set to hit the Italian coast but that's another story.... and we showed support for local St Vincent's school.

We can't wait for 2021 and look forward to working with you soon. In the meantime do not hesitate to get in-touch.

Here's to wishing you a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year.

Let's hope it's a better one... Cheers!

Seasoned criminals know that darkness provides crucial cover for theft, trespassing, and other related crimes.

Despite best efforts, when using a conventional camera with infrared lighting for night monitoring - people, vehicles, or other important objects can show blurry and blend into the background, making it often difficult to identify crucial details.

Often colour related information can be the difference between identifying a criminal and securing a prosecution.

OSS are proud to continue partnering Hikvision who have been leading the security industry in imaging for years.

That tradition continues with their powerful new Hikvision ColorVu Technology.

ColorVu Technology enables cameras to produce colourful videos even in extremely dimly lit environments.

ColorVu Technology is the solution to this common challenge faced by so many security system users.

Hikvision ColorVu Cameras powerful ability to capture details in low lighting come from two specific breakthroughs in hardware technology.

Advanced lenses and high-performance sensors, coupled with a supplemental light for extremely dark scenarios, mean that ColorVu cameras guarantee video with colourful details when you need them.

This year was challenging enough for St Vincent's school but the UK lockdown saw St Vincent's school experience something they didn't ever imagine.

St Vincent's, based in Liverpool, is a specialist school for sensory impairment and visually impaired needs.

Unfortunately the school was broken into during the lockdown whilst being vacant. There was alot of damage and distress caused as a result for both staff and pupils.

OSS heard the news and made contact with the school to see if we could help.

We're pleased to be able to support securing the school by gifting the installation and provision of a state of the art monitored intruder alarm system planned for the New Year.

With our new Italian themed cycling jersey's designed and suitably branded... OSS and friends were all ready to take to the Italian coast this year but the pandemic had different ideas!

The Coast to Coast ride takes in the many iconic sites of Northern Italy as it passes through the heart of Tuscany, over the Apennines and into Emilia Romagna and by San Marino.

Not to worry though, as the team are still raring to go with the event being rescheduled for 2021.

The route is an impressive 210 miles with an elevation gain of 19,600 ft. That's an average of 52 miles per day!

The ride will conclude at the beach where hopefully there will be some time to chill out and enjoy a celebration meal with the participants before flying back to the UK.

We'll be sure to keep you posted!
... Eccitante!!
