Types of CCTV Systems We Install
IP CCTV Systems
IP CCTV is the current standard for commercial and professional installations in London. It delivers higher resolution footage, easier remote access, and greater scalability than legacy analogue systems. All new systems we install are IP-based, providing future-proof infrastructure that can grow with your requirements.
4K Ultra-HD Security Cameras
4K cameras deliver four times the resolution of standard HD, making them ideal for wide-area coverage where you need to identify faces, licence plates, or fine detail at a distance. Particularly well suited to car parks, hotel lobbies, retail environments, and large open-plan spaces across London.
Wired vs. Wireless CCTV
Wired IP CCTV (using Cat6 cabling) remains the most reliable option for permanent commercial installations, offering stable power via PoE, no wireless interference, and consistent performance. Wireless cameras are available for locations where running cable is not practical. Our engineers will recommend the right approach during your free site survey.

CCTV Installation FAQs
How many CCTV cameras do I need for my London property?
It depends on your property size, layout, and risk profile. A small London office typically needs 4–8 cameras covering entry points, reception, and key internal areas. A hotel or larger commercial site may require 20–60+. Our engineers carry out a free site survey to specify the right number for your exact requirements.
Do I need planning permission for CCTV cameras in London?
In most cases, no. Planning permission is not required for CCTV on private property in London, provided the cameras are not on a listed building or within a conservation area. Our engineers will advise on any planning considerations specific to your site during the survey.
What are the GDPR rules for CCTV in a London workplace?
Under UK GDPR, businesses must display clearly visible CCTV signage, have a lawful basis for recording, limit footage retention (typically 30 days for most commercial premises), and be able to respond to subject access requests. We advise on GDPR-compliant camera positioning as part of every installation.
How long does a professional CCTV installation take?
A typical installation for a small office or home (4–8 cameras) is completed in a single day. Larger commercial installations with 20+ cameras may take 2–5 days depending on cabling requirements and building size. We can schedule out-of-hours to avoid disruption to your business.
Can CCTV be integrated with an existing alarm or access control system?
Yes. We specialise in integrated security systems. CCTV can be linked to intruder alarms so cameras automatically record when a detector triggers, and integrated with access control so door events are matched with camera footage, creating a unified security platform for your London premises.
Do you offer CCTV maintenance after installation?
Yes. We offer annual maintenance contracts covering scheduled health checks, camera cleaning, recording verification, and firmware updates. Contract clients receive priority response for reactive support.
