CCTV that actually covers what matters.
A camera in the wrong place is money wasted. We survey the property first, work out the angles that matter, then install, configure and hand over a system you can actually use from your phone.
Surveyed first,
then installed properly.
We walk the property and work out where cameras genuinely need to be: entrances, blind spots, bin stores, parking.
Cameras matched to the job, not a one-size box. Low light, wide angle or number-plate capture where it is needed.
Cabling run and made good, power and network sorted. Surface run neatly or concealed where the building allows.
Recorder sized to the retention you need, so footage is still there when you come to look for it.
Set up on your phone before we leave, with the app configured and tested, not left for you to work out.
Written handover, positions recorded, and someone to ring if it stops doing what it should.
From survey
to handover.
We attend, look at the property and agree what the system actually needs to cover.
Cameras, recorder, cabling and labour itemised in writing. No day rates.
Cabling, mounting, power and network. Tidy runs and everything made good.
Configured, tested, app set up on your phone, and a written handover.
Answered
plainly.
For your own property, generally no. If cameras capture anything beyond your boundary, such as a shared drive, a pavement or a neighbour's garden, you take on data protection duties under UK GDPR. We position cameras to minimise that, and tell you plainly where a view creates an obligation.
Fewer than most people are sold. Coverage comes from position, not quantity. A survey usually shows two or three well-placed cameras beat six badly placed ones, and we will say so.
That depends on recorder capacity, camera count and resolution. Around 30 days is typical for a domestic system. Tell us how far back you need to go and we size the recorder for it.
Yes. We set the app up and test it with you before we leave, on your own phone, so you are not left with a manual.
Yes. Communal areas, entrances and bin stores are the usual asks. For a block there are extra data protection considerations and we will walk you through them.
All 32 London boroughs, with a focus on west and south-west London.
Wired network cameras are the most reliable for permanent systems. Wireless cameras suit spots where cables are impractical but still need power and good signal.
Businesses should display clear signs that CCTV is in use. For homes it is good practice where cameras cover shared or public areas.

What good CCTV installers do differently.
Most disappointing CCTV is not a camera problem. It is a siting problem. A camera mounted high and wide gives a pleasing overview and a face nobody can identify. Installers who know what they are doing put at least one camera at head height on the approach to each entrance, where it will actually capture a recognisable face, and use the wide views for context rather than evidence.
The other things that separate a system that works from one that merely records are the cable route, the storage and the light. Cable run properly and terminated in an enclosure rather than surface clipped. Enough recording capacity to still hold the footage when you find out a fortnight later that you need it. And cameras chosen for how dark the approach really gets at night rather than how they look in a showroom.
CCTV for homes, HMOs, blocks and businesses.
Homes
Front doors, side returns, rear gardens and driveways, with cameras positioned so they cover your property rather than your neighbours'.
HMOs and blocks of flats
Entrances, communal hallways, bike and bin stores. In shared buildings, who can view the footage and how long it is kept need agreeing with the freeholder or managing agent.
Shops, offices and restaurants
Tills, stock rooms, entrances and rear yards, with recording sized to the period your insurer or policy requires. Pair it with intruder alarms and door entry for a complete system.
Cameras, recorders and remote viewing.
Wired or wireless
Wired network cameras powered over the data cable are the most reliable choice for permanent installations. Wireless cameras suit places where cabling is impractical, but still need power and a strong signal.
Image quality and night vision
Higher resolution matters most where you need to identify faces or number plates. Infrared and low light cameras keep recording usable after dark.
Recording and storage
The recorder is sized for the number of cameras and how many days of footage you need to keep, and installed somewhere secure.
Viewing on your phone
We set up the app, secure the passwords and show you how to find and export a clip before we leave.
Staying on the right side of the rules.
If a home camera captures areas beyond your boundary, such as the street or a neighbour's garden, data protection law applies to that footage. Businesses using CCTV need clear signage, a reason for recording, a set retention period and a way to respond to requests for footage. The Information Commissioner's Office publishes guidance for both. We position cameras and masking zones to keep coverage to what you need, and point out where a view needs thinking about.
Once installed, a short annual check of camera angles, lenses, storage and recorder updates keeps the system recording when you need it. Cabling for CCTV is often best run during a rewire or refurbishment.
From survey to handover, step by step.
Survey and design
We walk the property with you, agree what each camera must see, and check where the recorder, power and network can go.
Written quote and installation
Cameras, recorder, cabling and labour are itemised in a fixed quote. On the day, cables are run neatly and hidden where possible, and every camera angle is checked with you before handover.

Areas we cover.
We take CCTV installation work across all 32 London boroughs. Most of our work is in west London, in Shepherd's Bush, Hammersmith, Fulham, Kensington, Chiswick and White City, and in south west London, in Putney, Wandsworth and Wimbledon. We also work in south east London, in Greenwich, Blackheath and Lewisham.
If your property is outside these areas, call us anyway. We travel across London and will tell you honestly if a job is too far to price properly.
