Innovative and Scalable Integrated Electronic Security Solutions


Due to the challenges they face, the markets we serve require highly-tailored

or bespoke security solutions. These include complex multi-site estates

spread across the UK, CNI assets under threat of potential attack or disruption,

heritage buildings in need of protection and preservation, and highly secure environments where restricting and

monitoring access is paramount.

Each client has their own unique combination of security and surveillance

requirements. QSG draws on decades of experience and proven delivery

capability to design solutions that meet each project’s needs precisely.

Our Markets Critical National InfrastructureEnergy and utility assets are vital components of our national infrastructure. They have stringent safety processes, complex multi-stakeholder environments, and large sites spread over vast geographical areas. Theft or malicious attacks can result in costly downtime or even catastrophic accidents.

QSG has the specialist skills, accreditation, product portfolio, and project management experience to mitigate these threats. The UK’s leading energy and utility providers choose us to deliver resilient, scalable systems designed to comply with stringent regulations.

Public SpaceWe work with local authorities to migrate and consolidate complex surveillance systems, including entire city control rooms. For sensitive sites such as museums, the technology used needs to be unobtrusive and respectful of the environment whilst still ensuring the security and safety of the site.

Restricting access to busy public spaces or closing them entirely is often impossible. For those projects, we provide flexible out-of-hours installation and commissioning services to minimise the disruption experienced by our customers or their visitors.

Heritage and Iconic Buildings QSG understands the challenges of protecting heritage sites, such as high visitor footfall and listed status. Here, we combine our different sector skills to offer a bespoke system that has minimal visual and structural impact on the building whilst providing the most effective security to the site.

UniversitiesA holistic approach to security can offer real benefits for university campuses. Integrating best-of-breed technology to manage multiple facilities and safeguard staff, visitors, and students provides a complete site overview to enhance overall security.

TransportQSG has been helping the transport sector to keep their passengers, workforce, assets, and property safe and secure for decades. Managing security across large estates and multiple physical assets is a core specialism.

Our IP-networked solutions facilitate future-focused technology and scalability for cost-effective migration paths from legacy analogue systems. Command and control functionality provides live remote viewing, local control, and incident escalation with secure third-party access.

QSG works with leading rail operators to support their Secure Station accreditation requirements. Our technical knowledge and sector expertise ensures that the stations they manage meet the standards to reduce crime and safeguard passengers.

Investment Banking and FinanceFor the banking and finance sector, QSG develops and maintains solutions for highly secure facilities and business zones – from trading floors to cash centres. Access control technology is crucial here, and must comply with stringent FCA data protection and physical security regulations.

We deliver access control systems throughout the UK, typically as part of an integrated security system that manages everything from door entry to data storage. Our solutions can be installed and commissioned with no system downtime, and support multiple networks through remote, centralised management.

High Security and GovernmentData centres and government facilities are highly sensitive environments. Their stakeholders must have total confidence in the security solution they receive. As a longstanding government contractor, we undertake major projects for a variety of departments and agencies. QSG’s unrivalled technical expertise, discretion, adherence to process, and accountability provide that reassurance.

As businesses move to the cloud, data centres are both vital and vulnerable. From access control, alarms, and surveillance cameras to multi-layer, state-of-the-art solutions, we deliver the measures needed to defend and protect data. Our ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials accreditations provide peace of mind that we work to the highest standards of data security.

CustodialPrisons and custodial facilities are synonymous with security and surveillance. QSG has supported this sector for over 30 years and works with organisations and numerous security institutions along with the police, secure mental health units, and Category A and B prisons. They trust us to design, integrate, and maintain solutions that safeguard inmates, staff, and patients.

We deliver robust and reliable estate-wide security solutions that can cope with these highly complex environments, which include vast, ageing, and even historical buildings. Low-light cameras, non-ligature construction, and tamper-proof systems are just three of the diverse requirements involved.

QSG’s integration capabilities bring together a wide range of systems and technologies, from access control to biometrics, helping custodial facilities stay secure.

Our Services

Take complete control of your entire security infrastructure via a single central platform. Based on customer needs, we select the most suitable command and control technology, incorporating and consolidating new and legacy networks.

Access control ensures site security and safety. QSG has installed systems throughout the UK in complex environments from nuclear power stations to secure hospitals. Scale is no barrier and integrating access control with other mission-critical systems is our speciality.

IP-based security systems scale rapidly and support integration with the latest technologies, particularly in CCTV and access control. Our solutions range from hybrid systems to full IP that allow gradual migration as budget permits.

CCTV provides reliable, affordable, and effective surveillance. QSG delivers enterprise-level CCTV systems for large-scale solutions, complex infrastructure settings, and multi-site camera coverage. Our Video Management System solutions connect local and remote CCTV networks to provide centralised control and monitoring.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a powerful tool for crime and threat detection, from preventing petrol station forecourt drive-offs to identifying vehicles cleared for sensitive area access. We deliver integrated ANPR systems for the police, urban safety agencies, and commercial organisations.

Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) find, identify, and track intruders using diverse technologies, from infrared devices and pressure pads to thermal cameras and motion sensors. We are the primary supplier for the UK’s prisons, and have also installed PIDS in oil refineries, data centres, and power stations.

Intruder detection systems can often be the first line of defence in asset protection. The UK’s largest organisations trust us to design, install, and support intruder detection solutions that can span entire multi-site estates using networked, integrated systems that provide remote, centralised, and cost-effective monitoring.

Analytics delivers data, from sophisticated systems like facial recognition, to provide meaningful and actionable information. For security, this enables real-time threat detection for quicker incident response. For business intelligence, it provides insight into customer management, process improvements, and congestion zones.

Security barriers such as turnstiles, gates, and intelligent bollards are vital components of holistic site security. Taking advantage of our industry knowledge, we will deliver the most appropriate solution to help you manage perimeter access and actively control vehicle, staff, and visitor flow throughout a site.

XCO 28YOur system solutions can integrate the

full range of modern security, access control, surveillance, and situational awareness technologies. A security

system is only ever as good as its user interface and one size never fits all.
