Installing 28 cameras and a 32-channel NVR for an ST Engineering vehicle services facility - and solving a cross-building cabling problem with a Reyee outdoor wireless bridge where running cable was not possible.
ST Engineering Mobility Services Pte Ltd operates at 31 Corporation Road - a vehicle services facility within the ST Engineering group handling commercial vehicle distribution, customisation, and maintenance. The facility is split across two physically separate sections of the building, connected externally. Securevision was engaged to upgrade the CCTV system with a new NVR and camera installation, and to solve the specific challenge of extending surveillance coverage from one section of the building to the other without the ability to run new data cabling between them.

The facility at Corporation Road is split into two distinct sections that are not directly connected by internal cable routes. For a standard CCTV installation, this would require running data cabling externally between the two sections - either above ground or buried underground. At this facility, neither route was practical: the building structure and site conditions made it impossible to run new cable between the two sections without significant civil works that were outside the scope of a CCTV upgrade project.
The result was a connectivity problem: the cameras in Section 2 needed to transmit their video feeds back to the NVR in Section 1, but there was no cable path. Without a solution, either Section 2 would have to run a completely separate and unmanaged recording system, or its cameras could not be included in the upgrade at all.
Additionally, the storage requirement was technically demanding: the NVR needed to be sized for 90 days of retention - three times the industry standard - requiring HDD capacity to be carefully calculated against the camera count and resolution settings.
| Area | Before | Securevision Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Camera system | Existing CCTV system | 28 IP cameras across both sections of the facility |
| Recording | Existing recording | 1 × 32-channel NVR - 90-day retention |
| Section 2 connectivity | No viable cable path | Reyee outdoor wireless bridge - wireless video transmission |
| Storage | Previous retention standard | HDD sized for 90-day continuous recording |
| System unity | Fragmented surveillance | Single unified NVR managing all cameras via wireless link |
The options were to run cable (not feasible), install a separate NVR in Section 2 (creating fragmented recording), or find a point-to-point wireless solution. A consumer-grade WiFi extender would not provide the throughput reliability required for multiple IP camera streams. The solution needed to be purpose-built for outdoor point-to-point video transmission.
Securevision specified a Reyee outdoor wireless bridge - a purpose-built point-to-point wireless link designed for exactly this scenario. The bridge establishes a reliable, high-throughput wireless connection between the two sections of the building, allowing cameras in Section 2 to transmit their video feeds to the NVR in Section 1 as if they were connected by cable. The result is a single unified CCTV system across the full facility, managed from one NVR, with no civil works required.
Outcome: The wireless bridge eliminated the need for a second NVR, kept the entire camera estate under unified management, and avoided the cost and disruption of external cable runs - all while achieving the 90-day retention standard.
The wireless bridge was the enabling solution that determined how the rest of the installation was designed. Securevision tested the bridge link before finalising the camera positions in Section 2.
Surveyed the site to determine optimal mounting positions for the Reyee outdoor bridge. Commissioned and tested the link to verify throughput capacity for 28 IP streams.
Installed IP cameras across Section 1 of the facility, connected directly to the NVR via high-grade structured cabling.
Installed IP cameras across Section 2, connected to the wireless bridge transmitter. Video feeds travel wirelessly to the NVR in Section 1 without signal loss.
Configured the 32-channel NVR with HDD storage calculated for 90-day retention at continuous recording across all 28 cameras.
High-throughput wireless connectivity and extended retention recording for an ST Engineering facility.
Full camera installation providing comprehensive coverage of the vehicle services operation, workshop areas, and site perimeter across both building sections.
Surveillance & Detection →Point-to-point wireless link connecting Section 2 cameras to the Section 1 NVR. Provides reliable, high-throughput transmission - no cable runs required.
Surveillance & Detection →Centralised recording for all 28 cameras, with HDD storage configured for 90 days of continuous retention - three times the industry standard.
Platform & Management →Unified CCTV system across two building sections with extended 90-day recording retention.
Cameras: 28 Hikvision IP Cameras
Wireless Link: Reyee Outdoor Wireless Bridge
NVR: 32-Channel IP Recording Platform
Storage Upgrade: 90-Day Continuous Retention
The wireless bridge allows both sections of the facility to be managed by a single NVR - one unified system rather than two fragmented installations.
The Reyee bridge solved the cabling impossibility without requiring external cable runs, trenching, or building works.
The NVR is configured for 90 days of continuous recording - an extended retention standard appropriate for a commercial vehicle facility.
Full camera installation across the facility provides comprehensive surveillance of the vehicle services operation and site perimeter, accessible from a single interface.
The inability to run cable between two sections of a building is not an unusual problem - driveways, concrete structures, and site layouts regularly make cabling impractical. What matters is how the question is framed. The wrong framing is: "we cannot install cameras there." The right framing is: "how do we get the signal back without a cable?" A purpose-built outdoor wireless bridge is not a compromise - it is a network engineering decision. When specified correctly, it is as reliable as a cable run and significantly less disruptive to install.
Every project Securevision delivers draws on multiple systems working together - cameras, access control, intercoms, vehicle management, network infrastructure, and platform software. The cards below show the full range of systems we design and install. Each one links to a deeper explanation of how it works, when it is needed, and what to look for when specifying it.
Whether your building layout prevents cable runs or you need extended retention for a commercial facility, we design solutions around the constraints of your site.
