Networking & Infrastructure

Get connected. Know how it all fits.

We plan and configure networks, filtering and CCTV, and build or review the hosting, deployment and systems underneath your software.

8 services

The connections and systems underneath.

  • Network setup

    A small-business network planned, configured and tested — Wi-Fi that reaches, and devices that connect.

    Assessment required
    What's included
    • Small-business network planning
    • Wi-Fi configuration and coverage
    • Router configuration
    • DNS configuration
    • Device connectivity
    • Troubleshooting a network that already exists
  • Captive portals

    The page guests see before they get on your Wi-Fi — for a café, a restaurant, an office lobby or a public space.

    Request a quotation
    What's included
    • A branded Wi-Fi login or terms page
    • Guest access kept separate from your own devices
    • Time or usage limits, where the equipment supports them
    • Setups for restaurants, cafés, offices and visitor Wi-Fi

    Customers get Wi-Fi. Your point-of-sale terminals, cameras and office machines stay on a network they cannot see.

  • Network security basics

    Separate networks for guests, staff and devices, filtering, and access controls that make sense for a small site.

    Assessment required
    What's included
    • Network segmentation
    • Guest networks
    • DNS filtering
    • Access controls
    • Basic hardening of routers and access points

    This is sensible protection for homes and small businesses, not an enterprise network architecture.

  • DNS filtering

    Block known-bad and unwanted websites for every device on the network, before they load.

    What's included
    • Blocking domains known for malware
    • Phishing protection
    • Adult-content filtering
    • Family controls
    • Organisation-wide filtering policies

    DNS filtering is one layer of protection, not a complete security solution. It stops a lot of bad destinations cheaply; it does not replace updates, backups or careful people.

  • Network-level controls

    Filtering and restrictions configured directly on your ONT or router, so they apply to every device at once.

    Request a quotation
    What's included
    • DNS filtering at the router
    • Device and network restrictions
    • Parental controls for the whole network
    • Network policy configuration

    What can be set depends on the equipment. Some ISP-provided ONTs and routers support these controls and some do not; we check yours first and tell you what is possible.

  • CCTV installation

    Cameras chosen for your site, installed, configured and handed over working.

    Survey + quotation
    What's included
    • A site survey before any quote
    • Camera placement and equipment recommendations
    • Installation and cabling
    • Recording and viewing configuration
    • Handover, so you know how to use it

    Site survey → Requirements → Equipment recommendation → Quotation → Installation → Configuration → Handover

    Every site is different, so there is no fixed price. We survey first, then quote.

  • Systems & infrastructure

    Architecture, cloud, containers and networking for software that has to keep running.

    Custom pricing
    What's included
    • System architecture
    • Distributed systems
    • Cloud infrastructure
    • Containers
    • Deployment pipelines
    • Networking
  • Infrastructure consulting

    Hosting, deployment, backups, databases and operations: a plan for running your software once it is real.

    Assessment required
    What's included
    • Architecture review
    • Cloud infrastructure and hosting
    • Deployment strategy and CI/CD
    • Domains, DNS and networking
    • Databases and backups
    • Containers
    • Observability and operational workflows
    • Cost and security considerations

Who this is for

Does this sound like you?

  • Restaurants, cafés & visitor spaces

    Guest Wi-Fi and captive portals, separate from tills, staff devices and cameras.

  • Offices & homes

    Coverage, connectivity, router controls and filtering that fit the equipment already there.

  • Teams running software

    Hosting, deployments, backups and operations that need building or a second look.

How we work

A clear scope. A useful result.

  1. Assess the setup

    Check the site, equipment or existing infrastructure. CCTV starts with a site survey.

  2. Plan & quote

    Agree the layout, access, equipment and work needed before pricing the job.

  3. Install & configure

    Set up the agreed network, cameras or software infrastructure.

  4. Test & hand over

    Check connectivity and access, document the setup and explain how to use it.

A small-site network

One connection in. Separate networks out.

A typical small site has a connection from the ISP, a router doing the filtering and the separating, and networks that should not be able to see each other.
