Case Study - Commercial Bakery CCTV Expansion
Adding UniFi AI Camera Coverage Across a Bakery and Upper Office Space
Canny Electrics expanded CCTV coverage for a commercial bakery in Hawksburn after the business took over an additional office space above its existing premises.
Management enhanced visibility by placing additional UniFi AI smart cameras in strategic locations to monitor people entering and exiting the expanded site.
The result was one unified surveillance system across two business areas, giving both management and the shop manager clearer day-to-day oversight of the bakery and upper office space.

The Challenge
The bakery’s expansion into an additional upper-level office space created a need for surveillance beyond the original premises. Management needed visibility across both the bakery and the new area to understand who was moving in and out of the wider business footprint.
The main challenge was extending camera coverage without creating blind spots between the existing bakery and upper office space. The system also needed to support practical daily monitoring by both business management and the shop manager.
As this was an expansion of an existing commercial site rather than a new installation, the additional cameras had to integrate seamlessly with the current UniFi monitoring environment so both areas could be managed together.
The Solution
Canny Electrics delivered a commercial CCTV expansion with the following scope:
- Assessed the upper office space above the existing bakery
- Installed additional UniFi AI smart cameras in strategic positions
- Extended surveillance coverage to the expanded premises
- Configured camera placement to improve visibility of people entering and exiting
- Enabled management and the shop manager to monitor movement across both areas
- Integrated the additional cameras into the existing UniFi monitoring system
Key implementation entities:
- UniFi AI smart cameras
- Bakery premises
- Upper office space
- Entry and exit visibility
- Expanded camera coverage
- Management monitoring
- Shop manager oversight
The Results
- Additional UniFi AI cameras installed to support the business expansion
- One newly acquired office space added to the surveillance footprint
- Two business areas monitored through one system: the bakery and upper office space
- Improved visibility of people entering and exiting the expanded premises
- One unified UniFi monitoring environment maintained across both areas
- Management and the shop manager gained clearer operational oversight of the full site

- Canny Electrics expanded CCTV coverage for a commercial bakery in Hawksburn.
- The business had taken over an additional office space above the bakery.

Very happy with the service Canny Electrics provided! Saulo was helpful and gave me a quote over the phone.
The boys that installed my ceiling fans was very professional, so polite and very quick. I have never dealt with such polite professionals and so neat with their work, not one bit of mess left. Would highly recommend Canny Electrics no job too small for them.

Excellent service from Saulo and his team – he was patient, caring, knowledgeable and professional. I am so glad I engaged him as I have been very stressed about my home automation system not working and Saulo was able to get it fixed. I would highly recommend him and look forward to using his services in the future.
Marrs Attaxx
Saulo and the team went well above and beyond installing a massive job in our two story brick home. From the moment I spoke to Saulo I could see he was super knowledgeable about all things home elec and home automation and every step of the process was smooth and handled professionally by him and his highly capable team.
Every bit of the system is working perfectly and we’re getting them back to Install our Entertainment system next. Amazing work, highly recommended.

Top quality and friendly service. Saulo managed our quotes (and amendments) very promptly. Saulo and Johnny arrived perfectly on time, the job was efficient, professional and overall flawless. They explained how the CCTV system works, helped us setup our accounts, mobile apps and didn’t leave until we were satisfied. I was very impressed with the service, attitude and workmanship. We’ll definitely use Canny electrics again.

Quote was managed very promptly. The follow up job occurred the following week. Any queries were responded to in quick time. The day of the job was efficient, professional & results were great. We had an explanation of how our cameras would work in relation to remote management on mobile devices. Finally, a minor unrelated issue occurred & Canny answered our call after hours & quickly resolved it. Great service
