Cameras that show you who it was, not a grey shape

A cheap camera tells you something happened. A properly specified and positioned system gives you a face, a number plate and a recording you can hand to the police. We use Uniview, an authorised range with colour night vision and smart detection, and we position every camera for coverage rather than convenience.

  • 4K and 4MP cameras with colour night vision, no grainy black and white footage
  • Smart detection that alerts you for people and vehicles, not cats and headlights
  • Recorder with 30 days or more of storage, or cloud backup if you prefer
  • Two way audio on cameras that need it, so you can talk to a delivery driver
  • Cabling hidden along soffits and through walls, made good, no trailing wires

CCTV for homes and businesses

Every system is designed around your property. These are the setups Kent customers ask for most.

Home CCTV

Two to six cameras covering the front, the drive, the back garden and the side return. Alerts on your phone and a recorder tucked away in a cupboard.

Doorbell and gate cameras

Video doorbells and gate cameras with two way talk, integrated with the rest of your system rather than a separate app.

Business CCTV

Warehouses, yards, shops and offices with PTZ cameras that track movement, number plate capture and remote monitoring.

Upgrades

Old analogue or 7 year old IP systems replaced with 4K on the same cable runs. Better picture, better app, no mess.

Thermal and fire detection

Thermal cameras that warn you before a fire starts, ideal for lockups, workshops and outbuildings with equipment in them.

Privacy and compliance

Privacy masking for neighbouring properties, signage and retention settings that keep a business on the right side of the rules.

How a CCTV install works

Free survey

Aaron walks the outside of the property with you, works out where the risks are and where cameras need to look.

Design and price

A written quote listing every camera, its position and what it covers, with the recorder and storage included.

Install day

Cameras fitted, cables run and hidden, recorder set up. A four camera home system is usually done in a day.

Handover

App set up on your phone and anyone else's who needs it, alerts tuned so they are useful, and a walk through of playback.

"He took his time to show me all the features until I was comfortable using it."

Stuart's review says it better than we can. The install is half the job. Making sure you can actually use the system is the other half, and Aaron does not leave until you can.

CCTV installation questions

Do I need planning permission or to tell my neighbours?

No permission is needed for domestic CCTV. Cameras should be positioned so they mainly cover your own property, and where a camera unavoidably sees a neighbour or the street we set privacy masks so those areas are blanked in the recording.

Can I view the cameras from my phone?

Yes. Every system we install comes with an app for iPhone and Android. You can watch live, review recordings, get alerts and talk through cameras that have audio. Aaron sets it up on your phone before leaving.

How much does CCTV cost in Kent?

A four camera 4K home system with a recorder, installed and set up, is typically from around £1,100. Two camera systems and doorbell add ons start lower. Business systems are quoted per site after a survey. Every quote is itemised.

Will the cameras work at night?

Yes. The Uniview cameras we fit use colour night vision, so you get full colour footage in low light rather than black and white. In total darkness they switch to infrared and still capture clear detail.

Can you upgrade my old system?

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs. Old analogue and early IP cameras can usually be replaced with 4K cameras on the existing cable runs, so there is minimal disruption and a huge jump in quality.

Do you install Ring, Nest or cameras I have bought?

Yes. If you have bought consumer cameras we will install them properly and get them on a stable WiFi signal, which is the bit that usually goes wrong. For anything more than a couple of cameras we would recommend a wired Uniview system and explain why.
