Security designed around your kind of property
Different premises face different risks. We plan each system around how your property is entered, used and lit.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to common questions. If yours is not here, send us an enquiry.
Do you cover my area of London?
We install across London and list 45 areas on this site. If yours is not listed, send an enquiry and we will confirm.
How much does CCTV cost?
It depends on the number of cameras, the property, the cabling and the recorder. We give a written quotation after assessing the property.
Can I watch my cameras on my phone?
Usually, if the recorder or cameras support remote access and you have a suitable internet connection. We set it up and show you how to use it.
Do I need to display CCTV signs?
If your cameras capture people beyond your own property or you record staff and visitors, signage and other data protection steps are normally expected. See the ICO guidance, or take legal advice for your situation.
Can you add to or replace my existing system?
Often yes. We check what is installed, reuse suitable parts and tell you honestly what is worth keeping.
