CCTV Installation in London
Our CCTV installation service helps London homes and businesses deter crime, because visible cameras put off most intruders. In addition, you can watch live and recorded footage from your phone at any time.
For example, we install Hikvision IP camera systems for houses, flats, shops, offices and communal areas. As a result, you get clear images day and night from a system that is built to last.

What our CCTV installation includes
Every CCTV installation is planned around your property. Therefore, each camera covers exactly what you need to see.
Site survey and camera plan
First, we walk the property and plan each camera position, because good coverage starts with a good plan.
HD and 4K IP cameras
Next, we fit Hikvision cameras with infrared or full-colour night vision, so images stay clear after dark.
NVR recorder and storage
We also install a network video recorder, therefore footage is saved locally even if the internet drops.
PoE data cabling
In addition, each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable, which carries both power and data.
Hik-Connect app setup
After that, we set up the Hik-Connect app, so you can view cameras and get alerts on your phone.
Handover and support
Finally, we show you how to use the system. Also, remote configuration support is free for the first year.
CCTV installation and data protection
Cameras that only cover your own property are usually exempt from data protection law. However, if a camera captures a street or a neighbour's garden, the ICO home CCTV guidance applies.
For businesses, the ICO video surveillance guidance also applies. Therefore, we position cameras carefully and advise on signs and privacy masking during every CCTV installation.
Which CCTV cameras do you need?
In practice, most systems also use a mix of cameras. For example, a turret covers a driveway, while a bullet watches a long garden.
Turret cameras
For example, these are ideal for homes and entrances, because they are compact and easy to aim.
Bullet cameras
These suit long views, for example driveways, car parks and back gardens.
Colour night vision
Also, full-colour cameras use a soft light at night, so you can see clothing and car colours.
Who needs CCTV installation?
We carry out CCTV installation for homeowners, landlords and businesses. In particular, we often cover entrances, car parks and communal areas.
When should you install CCTV?
In short, CCTV is worth it when you want proof and peace of mind. For example, book a survey when:
- You have had a break-in or, alternatively, an attempted one
- Parcels or bikes keep going missing, for example from a communal hallway
- You also want to check the property while you are away
- Your insurer asks for better security, because of a recent claim
- Your old analogue system gives poor images and, therefore, needs replacing
Also, the GOV.UK domestic CCTV guidance explains how to use cameras responsibly.
Our CCTV installation process
Because every property is different, each CCTV installation follows four clear steps.
Survey
First, we visit the property and agree the best camera positions with you.
Quote
Next, you receive a fixed written quote. As a result, there are no hidden extras.
Install
After that, we run the cabling neatly and also fit the cameras and recorder.
Hand over
Finally, we set up the app and also show you how everything works.

CCTV installation FAQs
Can I view my cameras on my phone?
Yes, because every system comes with the Hik-Connect app. As a result, you can watch live and recorded footage from anywhere.
Do the cameras record at night?
Yes, for example, our cameras use infrared or full-colour night vision, so they record clearly in the dark.
Is home CCTV legal?
Yes, however, if a camera captures areas beyond your boundary, data protection rules apply, and we will advise you.
Will I get alerts when there is motion?
Yes, and in addition, you can set detection zones, so you only get alerts that matter.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Because the recorder keeps recording locally, nothing is lost. Therefore, you only lose remote viewing until the internet is back.
Can you upgrade my old CCTV system?
Yes, for example, we can often reuse existing cable routes and replace old analogue cameras with IP cameras.
