🔧 About Engineer M8
Engineer M8 is a UK-based technology company specialising in smart monitoring solutions for the fire and security industry. Our mission is simple: to provide engineers, installers, and end-users with the tools they need to prevent downtime, improve compliance, and respond to faults before they become problems.
We develop intelligent, engineer-friendly systems designed to bridge the gap between on-site hardware and off-site monitoring — with zero compromise on security or reliability.
🔍 Introducing Surveillance Guardian
Surveillance Guardian is our flagship product – an intelligent CCTV health monitoring system that keeps your surveillance infrastructure protected around the clock.
It checks the health of your CCTV systems every 5 minutes and instantly alerts engineers to any issues, including:
-
Failed or disconnected cameras
-
Recording system (DVR/NVR) problems
-
Hard drive failures or storage capacity issues
-
Poor image quality (blur, contrast, noise, sharpness)
-
Network and system clock errors
Everything is visible in real time through the Engineer M8 web portal – with maps, audit trails, and historic performance logs, all in one place.
🔐 Built on Secure, Private Infrastructure
Unlike other solutions that rely on third-party cloud services, Surveillance Guardian runs on our own secure VPN network.
-
All data transmitted from your sites is encrypted and securely routed through our private VPN.
-
Once received, data is backed up in two geographically separate remote servers, ensuring full redundancy and peace of mind.
-
No open ports, no security risks – just a clean, secure connection built specifically for fire and security environments.
🌐 Always Connected – Even When the Internet Isn’t
Coming soon in Version 2, Surveillance Guardian will offer internet fallback and full backup functionality, enabling the system to act as a secondary connection in case your main internet line goes down.
This means:
-
Your monitoring station stays connected, even during outages.
-
You can now monitor off-grid or restricted-access sites, including locations:
-
Without any internet connection at all
-
Where access to the client’s network is not allowed
-
Where port forwarding or router reconfiguration isn’t possible
-
Our plug-and-play configuration means there’s no IT headache — just reliable connectivity from the minute it’s switched on.
