HD and IP CCTV designed around your site — not a standard package
We started out as a data cabling company in 1989. CCTV came later, as clients asked us to handle their security alongside their network infrastructure. The technology has changed considerably since then — analogue cameras gave way to IP, tape gave way to NVR — but the approach hasn't: the right camera in the right place, properly installed and documented.
Our preferred NVR platform is Synology Surveillance Station, which is fully camera-agnostic — meaning we are not tied to a single manufacturer and can specify the right camera for your requirements. Every system comes with full as-fitted drawings, user training and an optional ongoing maintenance contract.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does CCTV installation cost for a business?
Business CCTV costs vary depending on the number of cameras, resolution, storage requirements and site complexity. We provide free, no-obligation site surveys with detailed quotes tailored to your needs. Most small business systems start from around £800 fully installed.
How long does a CCTV installation take?
A typical small business CCTV installation takes one to two days. Larger or more complex sites may take longer. We will give you a clear timeframe as part of your site survey.
Do I need planning permission for CCTV?
Most business CCTV installations do not require planning permission. However, you must display signage informing people they are being recorded and comply with GDPR regulations. We advise on all compliance requirements as part of our service.
Can I access my CCTV remotely?
Yes. All our systems support remote viewing via smartphone, tablet or PC. We set up remote access as standard and provide training so your team can use it confidently.
What CCTV brands do you install?
We are a Hikvision VASP (Value Added Solution Provider) and work with a range of leading manufacturers. Synology Surveillance Station is our preferred NVR platform as it is fully camera-agnostic -- meaning we can specify the best camera for your site and budget rather than being tied to a single brand.
What is NDAA compliance and do I need it?
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 889 prohibits US federal agencies from procuring certain Chinese-manufactured video surveillance equipment. In the UK, NDAA compliance is increasingly required by public sector bodies, local authorities, schools, NHS trusts and organisations with US supply chain obligations. We can specify and install NDAA-compliant camera systems from approved manufacturers.
