CCTV & SecurityCamera Installation
Professional security camera systems designed, supplied, and installed by qualified electricians. 4K IP cameras, remote smartphone viewing, night vision, and reliable local recording — all weatherproof and tamper-resistant.
Professional Home & Business CCTV
CCTV is the most effective visible deterrent against property crime. But a camera is only as good as its installation — poor positioning, inadequate cable routing, and cheap equipment produce blurry footage that's useless as evidence and fails in the conditions when you need it most.
What professional CCTV installation delivers:
- Strategic camera positioning covering all vulnerable access points
- Crystal-clear 4K footage usable as evidence — day and night
- Remote viewing from your phone, anywhere in the world
- Reliable local recording that doesn't depend on cloud subscriptions
- Weatherproof, tamper-resistant installation that lasts
- Smart alerts for motion in specific zones — not every passing cat
We install security camera systems across South London and Kent — from terraced homes in Streatham to detached properties in Orpington and rural homes near Oxted.

CCTV Installation FAQs
Common questions about home and business security camera systems.
Signs You Should Install CCTV
CCTV is the cheapest deterrent on the market. Here's when it's time to stop putting it off.
Domestic CCTV pointing only at your own property is exempt from registration, but capture of public footpaths or neighbours engages GDPR — we set systems up to stay compliant.
- There's been a break-in, attempted break-in or vehicle crime nearby
- Your business has experienced shrinkage, vandalism or unwanted access
- Deliveries regularly go missing from your doorstep
- Your home insurer has offered a discount for monitored CCTV
- You're a landlord wanting evidence cover at HMOs or short lets
- You manage a site with vehicles, plant or stock outside trading hours
- Existing analogue cameras are too low-resolution to identify anyone
- You want remote eyes on the property when you're away

Worried About CCTV Installation?
CCTV is one of those purchases where install quality matters more than camera spec. Here's how we get it right.
"Will the cabling look ugly outside the house?"
We route cables through soffits, eaves and existing penetrations wherever possible. External runs are in colour-matched mini-trunking with end caps — not loose-clipped flex.
"What about GDPR if my camera covers the street?"
We angle and mask cameras during commissioning so capture is restricted to your property. You're given a simple GDPR notice for visitors and a written privacy assessment for your records.
"Can I view it on my phone without paying a subscription?"
Yes. Our standard installs include local NVR/DVR storage and free P2P mobile viewing apps. Cloud backup is optional, not mandatory.
"What if a camera fails out of warranty?"
We use Hikvision, Dahua and Reolink units with 2–3 year warranties as standard. After warranty, individual cameras can be swapped without replacing the recorder — no full-system rip-out.
