TETHERX FOR PUBS & BARS // MANAGED ESTATE // LATE-NIGHT // AREA-MANAGER
From the till, to the cellar, to the licence review - one timeline.
A licensing officer wants the glassing clip before the review hearing. An area manager needs eyes on twelve venues without driving the patch every Friday. The duty manager just wants the cellar flood alert before the barrel store is under water. TetherX gives every role the view they need, scoped to their venues, on one login.
- Signed licensing evidence the police and licensing authority can open by link - protect the licence at review.
- Every venue on one area-manager login - or scoped per duty manager. Your estate, your rules.
- US data residency by default. Audit log on every view, share and download.
Quote routed direct to a TetherX-accredited local installer who knows licensed venues. No central sales call.
A Friday night on TetherX
Accreditations across the TetherX installer network
TetherX partners hold the accreditations security-procurement buyers and insurers filter on. Coverage varies by partner.
Counts reflect partners currently in the TetherX directory holding each accreditation.
From incident to a clip the police can open - before the licence review.
A glassing at the bar, an assault in the smoking area, a refusal that turns into a complaint - the licence is on the line at the next review, and the licensing officer wants the footage, not a story. TetherX gives a duty manager a signed, time-bounded link the police or the licensing authority can open without driving the recorder to the station.
Signed evidence for police & licensing
A signed link with a configurable expiry drops the glassing or assault clip into the officer's inbox - or the licensing authority's, or the operator's solicitor. No USB stick from behind the bar, no chain-of-custody arguments, no driving the DVR to the station at 2am.
Protect the licence at review
When a venue faces a review or a condition, the operator can produce the footage the licensing committee expects, with an audit log of who viewed and shared it. Show the door staff acted, show the refusal was handled - turn a he-said-she-said into a timeline.
Refusals register & age-verification disputes
When an age-verification refusal becomes a complaint, the bar camera timestamp sits next to the refusals-register entry. The duty manager answers the dispute from one screen instead of trying to remember a Saturday three weeks ago.
Audit log on every share
Every view, share and download is recorded against the named user. The area manager and the operator's licensing lead get the standing answer the police and the committee both expect - not a recorder scrape after the event.
A busy bar is loud. The platform listens for the right sounds.
On a Friday night a duty manager can't watch the bar, the beer garden, the toilets and the back door at once. On-device AI does the watching - an aggressive-tone event at the bar, abnormal crowding in the beer garden, an after-hours intrusion at the cellar hatch - filtered to the duty manager, not flooded.
And the hardest places to cover are the ones a camera should never be in. TetherX-supported environmental sensors give a discreet signal in the toilets - vape, smoke and elevated noise - paired with the corridor camera that did see who went in.
Aggressive-tone at the bar
Audio analytics flag raised voices and aggressive-tone events at the bar and in the queue near last orders. The duty manager gets a notification before a shove becomes a glassing - not a callout after.
Beer-garden crowd density
AI flags abnormal crowding in the beer garden and the smoking area - so the duty manager pulls a member of staff over before a pinch-point turns into anti-social behaviour or a fire-exit blockage.
After-hours intrusion alerts
Motion at the cellar hatch, the bottle store or the back door after close fires a named alert to the keyholder and to monitoring - so the operator doesn't find out from the cleaner's Monday-morning call.
Vape & smoke in the toilets
Discreet sensors in the toilets detect vape aerosols, smoke and elevated noise without recording audio or images. The corridor camera timestamp tells you who walked in just before - drug-dealing and damage, surfaced.
Propped fire-door alerts
Fire doors propped open for a delivery or a sneaky exit, cameras covered or moved, the cellar hatch held - all surface as named events on the same timeline as the footage.
Cellar flood & temperature
Integrate the cellar's flood and temperature alarm panel so a chiller failure or a burst line pings the duty manager - protect the stock before the barrel store is under water, not after.
Voids and refunds, read against the till camera.
Shrinkage in a managed pub hides in the void, the refund and the no-sale. TetherX puts the transaction on the same timeline as the till camera, so the area manager moves from a suspect pattern to the camera angle in one click - across every venue, without driving to a single one.
Voids & refunds on the till camera
Every void, refund and no-sale surfaces against the till camera angle. The classic free-round-for-mates or the refund-to-self pattern stops being invisible - the area manager searches the estate by event and opens straight to the footage.
Cellar, stock & cash-handling on camera
Cellar, bottle store and spirit store cameras tie a stock discrepancy to a moment - the case of spirits that walked out the cellar hatch is a timestamped clip, not a monthly stock-take mystery. Safe-drops, float counts and till lifts sit on camera too, so a short drop gives the duty manager the moment, not an accusation - protecting honest staff across the estate from one login.
Cross-venue pattern search
A void pattern that follows one employee across three venues in the estate is invisible in per-site recorders. On TetherX the area manager searches every till in the company by event and builds the evidence pack in minutes.
From the single freehouse to the managed estate
TetherX is open by design: the kit your last installer fitted across the estate keeps working, and the area manager keeps one platform across every venue - not a folder of recorder logins per pub.
See Every Pub On One Login - Without Driving The Patch
An area manager running a dozen venues does not work like a single freehouse - they audit across all of them, and the duty manager runs the one in front of them. TetherX scopes per-venue, per-role, per-camera. Duty manager sees their bar. Area manager sees their patch. Operations sees the estate. The licensing lead sees what they are named on.
- Per-venue scope - duty managers see their pub, not the whole estate
- Area-manager view - every venue on the patch on one login, no driving
- Estate-wide licensing role - audit and evidence across every venue
Keep The Cameras The Last Installer Fitted Across The Estate
TetherX is open by design. The TetherBox bridge connects to 1,000+ integrations and any ONVIF device, so the cameras across every venue keep working - no estate-wide rip-and-replace, no capital write-off, no recorder you inherited with the lease and can't touch. Add cloud, AI and a licensing-ready audit log to the kit you already paid for.
- Works with the cameras already on the wall - 1,000+ integrations and ONVIF
- TetherBox bridge installs in 5 min per venue - no closing the doors for a refit
- Per-camera and per-disk health monitoring across every pub in the estate
The questions after the licensing tour
Once the licensing lead is happy, operations and the area manager want the rest: how do we search a weekend of footage, who deters the trouble in the beer garden at closing, what about lone workers, where does the data sit, and how fast does evidence reach the police.
Search a weekend of footage with smart filters
Smart video search lets a duty manager or area manager filter every camera and every venue by object, colour, zone and time - a person in white at the bar after last orders - instead of scrubbing four recorders. The audit log captures the query and the named user.
Lone-worker safety at close
Last orders and lock-up are the riskiest minutes of the shift. A lone duty manager cashing up can have a camera-and-alert workflow on the till and the back door, so an aggressive-tone or after-hours-motion event reaches the area manager or monitoring fast - evidence reaches the police 90% quicker than pulling a recorder.
Audio talkdown in the beer garden & car park
Trigger a live or recorded announcement through compatible IP speakers - "you are on licensed premises, this is being recorded" - the moment anti-social behaviour fires in the beer garden or the car park at closing. Most groups move on; the duty manager keeps the licence clean.
Cloud, on-prem or hybrid - your choice
Store on the TetherBox at the venue, in UK-region cloud, or both for redundancy. The bridge keeps recording locally if the pub broadband drops on a busy night, then syncs once it is back. AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit; cloud infrastructure is ISO 27001 / SOC 2 attested at the infra level via Wasabi.
Change retention & resolution when a venue changes
A new licence condition, a late-night levy area, an insurer asking for more retention on the door camera - update retention windows, resolution and which analytics run per camera from the dashboard. No engineer visit, no per-recorder reconfigure across the estate.
Same view on phone, laptop, back-office screen
An area manager on a phone between venues, an operations lead on the laptop, a duty manager on the back-office monitor - same login, same scope, same audit log. The estate head office sees every pub on one screen without a VPN per site.
Four shifts, one platform
Bar, floor, back-of-house - one timeline.

How TetherX stands out for pubs and bars
Bar, cellar and back-of-house on one platform - across one pub or an estate.
One platform, one bill
Video, EPOS-linked events, access control and intruder alerts on one dashboard, one app, one bill - not separate systems per site.
Records through any outage
The TetherBox records full-rate on-site. A pub-broadband drop never loses footage - it syncs when the link returns.
Your retention, full 4K
Set retention per camera at full 4K - long on bar, till and cellar cameras, short elsewhere. No pricing-band retention cap.
Keep your own ARC
Connect your existing monitoring station for out-of-hours response - Immix, Sentinel, CONXTD, MASterMind, Bold Patriot Manitou, Stages and others. Any ARC software can connect via a generic link - no special integration required. No forced SOC switch.
Built in the UK and Australia
Built in the UK and Australia. Local representatives in Canada and India. EU, North America and APAC supported. Your data stays in your region (UK, AU, CA, IN, EU, NA, APAC).
Ringfence legacy cameras
Existing cameras (including Hikvision and Dahua) stay reachable behind the TetherBox, off the public Internet - phase NDAA-compliant replacement on your budget cycle. NDAA-ready options include Hanwha Vision, Axis, Avigilon, Pelco, Bosch.
What pub operators ask before they switch
Trusted by operators like Greene King to bring managed pub estates onto one platform - the cameras already on the wall, with cloud, AI and licensing-ready evidence on top.
