At Fern Engineering & Supplies, we design and install reliable security systems for homes, businesses, schools, factories, and farms across Uganda. You get tools that see, control, and alert you in real time. No matter what you are looking for, be it access control to decide who enters where. Alarms to notify you and our response partners when something is not right.
Our systems run on simple ideas. Detect early. Deter before loss. Record clear evidence. We integrate CCTV, intruder alarms, access control, electric fencing, video intercoms, and fire detection into one easy platform.
You monitor from your phone, office screen, or control room. Whether you manage a retail shop in Kikuubo, a clinic in Ntinda, or a warehouse on Entebbe Road, we tailor the setup to your risk and budget.
We build strong perimeter solutions using electric fencing, razor wire, and gate automation. We add outdoor sensors and beams that trigger lights and cameras to record events instantly. For farms and large compounds, we segment zones so you know exactly where movement occurs and respond faster.
We supply and install dome, bullet, PTZ, and fisheye cameras, from small home kits to enterprise systems with 24-hour recording. You view live and recorded video on phone or computer. We design coverage for entrances, tills, and store rooms to keep your footage for the period you need.
We deploy card, PIN, biometric, and mobile-based access to manage who enters your offices, stores, and server rooms. You get time and attendance reports, visitor logs, and automatic door schedules. Smart locks and electric strikes integrate with fire systems so doors unlock during emergencies.
We install motion sensors, door contacts, glass-break detectors, outdoor beams, and panic buttons at key points. Notifications and alerts go to your phone and to a monitoring center if required. For homes, we pair indoor sensors with perimeter devices, so the system alerts before anyone enters.
Which security system do I need for my home in Kampala or Wakiso?
The right setup depends on your house layout, boundary type, and daily routine. Most homes benefit from a mix of perimeter detection, a smart door solution, and two to eight cameras covering entrances, parking, and the back compound. We walk the site, discuss your risk, and design a simple plan.
We also match the system to your power and internet situation. If you have frequent outages, we size a UPS and consider solar for the gate and fence. If your internet is mobile-based, we set up remote viewing with data management so you do not blow bundles quickly.
Prices vary by camera quality, number of doors, and perimeter length. We share clear options, from entry kits for small shops to advanced systems for warehouses. Expect a basic four-camera package with recording and remote viewing to start in the lower millions of shillings, then scale up as needed.
We always include installation, configuration, and training in our quote, plus optional maintenance. You choose the plan that fits your cash flow. We also stock spare parts locally, so if a camera fails out of warranty, you replace it quickly without waiting for long imports.
Yes, we design for that. We add UPS units sized to keep cameras, recorders, and alarms running for hours. For electric fences and gates, we include backup batteries and offer solar where useful. You choose how long you want the system to ride through outages based on your area pattern.
We also protect equipment from surges and brownouts. Good surge protection and clean power extend the life of your devices. If your site experiences frequent dips, we may recommend a voltage stabilizer or a small inverter that supports the security backbone without powering the whole building.
Yes. We set up secure remote access with strong passwords and two factor options where supported. You log in from your phone or laptop and view live and recorded video. We configure bandwidth limits so your 4G or Wi-Fi connection stays stable, even when multiple users view at once.
We also manage user rights. Owners can see everything. Supervisors can view specific cameras. Guards can use a simple live view. If you lose a phone, we revoke access and reset credentials. Your privacy matters, and we train your team on safe usage practices.
You choose the retention period, commonly from 14 to 60 days for small sites, and longer for factories or malls. We size storage based on camera resolution, number of cameras, and recording mode. Motion-based recording saves space by capturing action instead of empty scenes.
If your site needs longer retention, we add larger drives or a network video recorder cluster. We can also back up critical cameras to the cloud for offsite protection, especially for tills and entrances. During design, we show you storage estimates so you decide with full information.
We follow best practice for installation height, warning signage, and clear zoning away from public walkways. The fence delivers a sharp but non-lethal shock intended to deter climbing. For every project we carry out a risk assessment and agree placement that respects neighbors and passersby.
Local rules may vary by municipality. We guide you on approvals where required, for example in KCCA monitored areas or gated communities. We also provide training for you and your guards on safe operation, maintenance, and basic troubleshooting so the fence remains effective and safe.
Dust, rain, and daily use affect performance. We recommend quarterly preventive maintenance. We clean camera lenses, tighten brackets, test alarms, check fence voltage, update firmware, and verify storage. This keeps images clear and sensors sharp. Small checks reduce big failures later and keep your system dependable.
Our SLAs include scheduled visits, priority repairs, and discounted spare parts. You also get a hotline for quick fixes and simple guidance by phone. If something fails, our team visits with tools and replacements. We document each visit so you know the system is in good shape.
Most home systems finish in one to two days. Small business sites take two to four days. Large compounds and factories take longer. We plan work in phases, keep areas clean, and schedule noisy tasks during off-peak hours. Your team keeps operating while we install carefully.
We also train your users before handover. You learn how to arm and disarm alarms, fetch footage, reset passwords, and request support. We leave simple guides and stick labels on key devices, so nobody panics when they forget a step during a busy day.
Yes. We integrate alarms with guard radios, sirens, and strobe lights. Video intercoms at the gate let you see and speak to visitors before opening. Fire detection can unlock access doors and open gates for evacuation. Everything works as one system, not a patchwork of disconnected devices.
We design clear response plans. When an alarm triggers, guards check the exact camera and location. Managers get alerts with snapshots. If it is a false alarm, you reset fast. If it is real, you follow a simple checklist that we provide during training.
Local recording continues on the video recorder even without internet, so you do not lose footage. The alarm panel still works and sirens sound. Once internet returns, remote viewing resumes automatically. For sites that need remote alerts at all times, we add a backup SIM to the router.
If your phone is off, the system can alert multiple contacts, such as your manager or head of security. We set escalation rules so someone always receives the notification. During commissioning, we test these scenarios with you, so you feel confident before we leave site.
