From a single camera on a front door to a full commercial surveillance system with access control. We supply, install, and configure everything.

Hikvision 4K AcuSense

DS-2CD2T87G2-L series 8MP turret and bullet cameras with AcuSense AI. Distinguishes between humans, vehicles, and animals to eliminate false alerts. Deep-learning algorithms with 98%+ accuracy. IP67 weatherproof, 40m IR range, H.265+ compression for reduced storage.

ColorVu Night Vision

Hikvision DS-7600 and DS-9600 series NVRs supporting 4 to 32 channels. RAID 1/5/6/10 storage for redundancy on commercial sites. Up to 48TB capacity with hot-swappable drives. H.265+ decoding, ANR (automatic network replenishment), and scheduled remote backup to offsite storage.

Remote Viewing

Hik-Connect app on iOS and Android for live viewing, playback, and push notifications from anywhere. P2P cloud access -- no static IP or port forwarding needed. DDNS support for direct connections. Multi-site viewing from a single app, shared user access for staff, and two-way audio on compatible cameras.

Access Control

Hikvision DS-K1T342 series face recognition terminals with mask detection and temperature screening. Card, PIN, fingerprint, and facial recognition -- single or multi-factor authentication. Full integration with Hikvision CCTV for linked video on every access event. Time-based access scheduling, visitor management, and detailed audit trails.

Wireless Intruder Alarms

Hikvision AX PRO wireless alarm system. PIR and dual-tech motion detectors, magnetic door/window contacts, wireless keypads and keyfobs. No cables through walls -- fully wireless installation. Managed via the same Hik-Connect app as your CCTV. Professional monitoring available.

PoE Network Back-Haul

Every IP camera we install runs on Cat6a structured cabling with PoE+ switching — one cable per camera, no fused spurs, no local power supplies. We size the PoE switch to the full camera count plus 20% headroom, and dress the network cabinet properly so the next contractor in five years can still trace any port. See full network infrastructure details.

Common Questions

CCTV FAQ

How much does a CCTV system cost?+

A 4-camera Hikvision 4K system starts from around £1,200 fully installed, including the NVR recorder, cabling, and Hik-Connect remote viewing setup. Larger systems with 8+ cameras or PTZ units cost more — we provide a free site survey and fixed-price quote.

IP or analogue — which is better?+

We install IP (network) cameras exclusively. They offer 4K+ resolution, smart features like AcuSense person/vehicle detection, and remote viewing. Analogue systems are outdated and can't match the image quality or smart detection of modern IP cameras.

Can I view my cameras on my phone?+

Yes. We set up Hik-Connect on your phone during installation. You can view live feeds, receive motion alerts, and playback recordings from anywhere with an internet connection. Works on iPhone and Android.

Do I need planning permission for CCTV?+

Domestic CCTV generally doesn't need planning permission. However, you must comply with GDPR if cameras capture areas beyond your property boundary. We provide GDPR-compliant signage as standard and advise on camera positioning.

How long is CCTV footage stored?+

Typically 2–4 weeks depending on the number of cameras and hard drive size. We usually specify a 2TB or 4TB NVR. Motion-only recording extends storage significantly compared to continuous recording.
