Server costs are rising globally.

We’re seeing server hardware pricing jump 20-40%, driven largely by sharp increases in DRAM and hard drive costs.

For video management servers and high-retention sites, that means higher project costs and longer lead times, especially for those higher-spec builds.

Our advice for your next project? Plan early. A quick conversation now could reduce cost risk and keep your project on track.

We’re getting ready for our annual Watchu Security sales meeting, soon to be held in Cambridge, and the team is already buzzing.

It’s always a great chance to regroup, refocus, and set our direction for the year ahead.

This year, we’re dialling in on some key growth areas, especially our high‑end Class 5/Type A security solutions, advanced perimeter protection systems, and our expanding range of high‑security access gates and doors designed for government and critical utility sites. These environments demand tough, reliable, and fully integrated protection, and we’re excited to keep pushing the standard.

Looking forward to catching up with the crew and mapping out another strong year for Watchu.
