Like Taña, I am not sure exactly what it measn in the context, but it doesn't stop me posting. "Turnkey batch" comes up on Google in several areas, for example: "Concrete Plants Inc. offers complete turnkey batch plant installations from site layout and design, foundations, electrical wiring, mechanical labor...

I assume that the description refers to a turnkey-type (= ready -to-use) surveillance system which is ordered/supplied/delivered/supplied in a single (one-off) batch or lot.

According to Wikipedia: "A turn-key project is a type of project that is constructed by a developer and sold or turned over to a buyer in a ready-to-use condition" - and my guess is that in this context they use it to refer to a ready-made CCTV system.

Reference

Reference information:
"llave de (en) mano" is "turnkey" and lote único may be "single lot", but perhaps I am stupid as I am still not seeing the relationship of "survey" (in the heading") with CCTV, or do you mean surveying for CCTV, as opposed to land surveying!

Not sure if "single turn-key lot" would work, but the context is insufficient to truly make a determination. Context is so vital!

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thanks! You are right, it does sound a bit off. I've encountered the term "turnkey" in the past, but not in this context-- and as a header, it really makes no sense to the rest of the text. BTW- I've made alterations on the "fields" as to be more specific.

agree  philgoddard: Maybe the asker means surveillance rather than surveying. Assuming we don't get any more context, you should post this as an answer.

  -> Thanks Phil. I will leave it as a reference as I am still none the wiser. Again, thanks.
